    I am a huge foodie, so usually use the date as an excuse to try out a new restaurant...

    True story. I had a blind date with BD and he was a perfect gentleman. Even more, it was a double date -- as in one dude (BD) two chicks. We were both at ease and had a fantastic time. Play on, playa :D

    been on many. had a blast on each and every one of them, even the horrorific ones were good as it fills one with knowledge of how some folks are totally out of their damn minds.

    this one gal i had met at her home was clearly out of control. beyond foul to be honest with you. i ran and i ran fast. i am a caring sensitive dude, i did not want to hurt her feelings at all. so i told her i had a change of heart and that i was feeling guilty as i was married and that i had to scoot and now.

    i was not married and never have been.
    she called me every single name in the book.
    but it got me out and away from that maniac of a woman.

    i have had very successful blind dates. they were very nice women.

    Never been on a blind date either.

    I did date a chick with glasses though so I guess it was a vision impaired date. ;)

    Haven't read everyone's stories but I maybe have a blind date, or blind meet up so to speak happening next week!! A friend said to me last week "how do you feel about blind dates?" I'm like yeah whatever, I've done internet dating, done speed dating so why not. Turns out a work colleague of hers' brother's single & a total music lover he lives down the line a bit(about 6 hours drive away) but he comes up here all the time to go to bands including one later this week. I don't want to go to the gig this week but my friend said she'll see if she can invite me to the drinks beforehand & then I have to make sure I talk to the brother. I've checked him out as much as poss on fb etc, he doesn't have much in his profile but I think I've seen some pics of him through the sister's page & he looks nice s we'll see. X fingers! :)

    Other than that, never been on a blind date before but yeah done plenty of Internet dating + speed dating which is so much fun! No lasting luck from either thing, obviously!! 8-)

    Oh shoot, one hour went that badly?? Dang. I still say great that you went. And fyi, if I ever set you up on a blind date, you can trust me it will go at least a little better than that ;)

    It's a learning experience. Look at how much of a better person you are from it now. :)

    I can't believe you stayed for an hour! Last bad blind date I had, I had just ordered a beer, and he came in. I tried talking to him and realized it wasn't going anywhere after 10 minutes (ok more like 5). So I pounded my beer, the entire pint in one gulp and said "well nice meeting you, I'm gonna get going" got up and left.

    I have no shame.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
