Blind dates .... :l

Just received a phone call from one of my soon to be ex-friends to 'casually' let me know that a something-or-another-lovely-SINGLE-something-or-another friend of theirs just happens to be coming along to join us on a planned night out this week .... 'oh and' she says .... isn't it just lovely that you Kell happen to be single and coming along as well!! Ohhh yes .. what a coincidence that you asked me to go and he happened to be coming along as well... that's just swell

Now I enjoy blind dates so much that I decided to write a book about the last one I went on ... '1000 Ways to Commit Suicide with Chopsticks' coming to a store near you soon ... but I was wondering if anyone else has actually had a good blind date???

(If not please feel free to share your blind (or otherwise) dating disasters!! Evil I know - but I would love to hear them as well )

I've never been on one before. I don't think I'd fancy it. I'm not exactly a very easy going person so I don't think it would suit me at all

Ohh no!! Nothing worse than well meaning friends setting you up The last time one of my friends set me up like that it turned out to be a train wreck I was soooo not interested, but said friend decided to give him my number anyway Sooo awkward

ooooh not for me thanks

Never been on one, and I'm such a shy, awkward person that I would just not show up

I had a few good ones. I had a female partner as a lifeguard and she was constantly setting me up with her friends so I would quit asking her out

Well what can I say, I am in fact married to my blind date which a friend set me up with on on a BBQ nearly 10 years ago. They are not all bad

Same here Kathy but later found out a few things about the friend that set me up (who was married herself) and realised wasnt a friend at all if you get the gist!

Awwwww noooooo

Exactly!

I reckon a blind date would be the only way I'd get a date

No blind dates for me, would be very uncomfortable!

The only thing worse is well meaning friends who set you up more than once Would kill them if they gave him my phone number though!

You aren't missing too much in my opinion Mat

It's bad enough going on dates when ya know the people, nevermind "blind dates"

Perhaps I need to start asking my friends out ... might motivate them to actually find decent guys to set me up with

Sometimes you have to take the bull by the horns and just go for it. That's what I did and I had only just broken up with someone else a couple of weeks before the BBQ. At least I didn't have time to sit around feel sorry for myself and moping, that's worse, get straight back on the horse

Ive not had a blind date before. Not that i have known of anyway! My friend would always have a bf and he would bring a friend, but i don't generally like anyone she likes so it never went too well! We're not even friends anymore actually :\

People like me need blind dates. It helps also if they have no sense of smell and wear headphones.
Hey they might be the one and if not at least you can g a cheap night
Let us know how it goes

My horse left a long time ago! Thanks for the encouragement though
