What do you think about Blind Dates???

[Brasco]

Hi fellow Juans, I have been asked to go on a blind date. In all my years of dating one thing I never done is go on a blind date. Main reason is because I never been asked. I always lived in my home town, so I knew all the women. I moved to the town I am in now 1 1/2 ago. I don't know all the chicks so blind dates are bouned to pop up, sure enough it happen tonight.

All I know is that she is 23 and taking a course in Nursing(RN). Ohh yeah, and she has a twin sister. I don't have to give an answer until next Thursday, thats when I will see the lady that asked me if I would be interested.

My question to you Don Juans is what is your past experiences with Blind Dates, good or bad. I figure I will go on the date because what do I have to loose? Unless I find out something "bad" about her. Like she is a 300 LBS pig with no personality. I don't think she would of asked me if she was that bad. Lets hope!!!! LOL

Why didn't you get more info from the person who initiated?? height weight size etc... Call her and get info! Don't be afraid - it is your right....did one of the twins ask you through a third party?

Ask for some pics!

What the hell - i guess you won't die by going!!

Friend of mine somehow stared talking to a girl and her sister on the phone, never met them before and they eventually decided to meet up someplace. He asked me to go along with him. No problem.

We go to this place, and he starts to worry they might be beastly pigs. He described to the girls the jacket he would be wearing, and he talked me into wearing it so they would appraoch me instead of him. I agreed reluctanly...Owed him a favor.

Long story short; I got a big old hug from two very very sexy women. The guy practically ripped his coat off of me and fessed up to the switch. It made no difference. I was in.

That was 10 years ago. Every blind date since then has been a disaster. But hey, you never know....

My opinion is that a DJ, if free, should not refuse a Blind Date, if invited. He should see it as a challenge to seduce one more girl, or in the case things go wrong, to learn something more with the *social* experience.

He should entail the spirit of sports, like going to play a football game with friends not knowing the outcome.

And this particular experience may endure your behaviour in doing cold approaches with unknown girls.

I don't mind letting friends introduce me to their friends but the concept of a blind date reminds me of the lottery. You have a chance of meeting a cool person but then again, it's just a chance.

I'd definitely ask them for more information about her and why they feel that we would hit it off. Just because you and your potential date has a mutual friend doesn't mean that the friend knows either of your personalities very well.

Blind dates usually puts undue pressure on the daters since it IS a date. I prefer getting together as a group. I can be introduced to their friend and determine on my own if she is someone I would enjoy seeing personally.

I went on a group sort-of-blind date. It was ok, but I got my hopes up. It went well, but I was picturing someone else. If I ever go on another one, I would want to see a picture first. Otherwise, I'd go on any date I could if I had the chance.

Rarely works out in any sense. But if
you don't have much else to do, see
what happens.

my sister met her husband on a blind date... 5 years and 2 kids later, they couldnt be happier...

Thanks guys!!!!

I think I will try and find out what she looks like by asking a few people that should know her. Its a small town so it should not be hard to find out what she looks like and what her personality is like. I have a few friends that I can trust.

I don't think she is a 9 or 10, because for one thing its very rare that good looking chicks have to go on blind dates. Second I think the girl would of told me if she was pretty.

I will try and get a bit of info, if it sounds like she is at least a 6 or 7 and has a pretty good personality I will go on the date. I will let you DJ's know how it works out. Thanks again!!!

I like this idea, just remember that if you want, you can throw away the ticket. Blind dates can be as much fun or as lousy as you want them to be.

Go along, have fun. If she's hot, then work on her and be the funniest ba$tard she's ever met.
If she's not your type, just have fun and either let her know there are no sparks and go your separate ways, or turn her into a friend... she might have friends who are more your cup of tea.

I like your attitude.

One thing I have noticed about blind dates is it starts off on a negative foot. Noone likes the concept of being "setup". This normally hinders it from being a good experience.

 

[Brasco]

I agree 100%, but if I find out she is a pig with zero personality I think I would rather be home by myself with a bottle of rum. LOL

just go, you have nothing better to do.
she may be nice looking. get info if you can, but you may as well go even if u get no info.

if you dont like her, dont aske her on another date.

and you can always use the date as a practice just making conversation and being social.
