No way.  Blind dates suck. You should never go on a date with a stranger.  Just like you should never meet someone from off the Internet.  Bad idea.  You never know if you will end up with an axe-murderer or some freaky STALKER.  :o

But as for the show "Blind Date" on TV, funny stuff!  Notice  how they all end up not going on a second date at the end?  It's cuz the producers of the show don't let the chicks get totally wasted drunk, so the dude's end up getting no action at the end of the night.  Know what I'm sayin'?  ;)

My friend is getting married next month to a GREAT guy she met via the internet. I just think that anyone can encounter an axe murderer or whatever while in a bar, at a party, at church, in school -it's been proven. You have to really get to know people a while before you meet blindly.

The show Blind Date is a disgrace to our country ! They critisize a man if he is not trying to get into the girl's pants right away and they choose women who make the show come close to porn.That show is only produced to entice an audience hungry for sex. It's pathetic how the people on it are exploited and made to look like fools.

My advice for blind dating is TO DEMAND A PHOTO of the person before meeting.As much as people don't like to admit it, looks do matter and you want the person to think you're okay as well as think he's cool-otherwise, people end up feeling lousey. Exchange pics first.

I had  a blind date SUCCESS in 1980, -man was he gorgeous.I eventuall broke up with him for a stupid reason - but that's okay.

So many people who meet through unconventional means get the chance right away to discuss the IMPORTANT THINGS - like what type of relationship they are interested in.That's important. I don't think the means matters. What matters is that you have to develop a somewhat sharp judgement of character and make reasonable choices - no matter how the people meet.

I've been on a blind date.  The fella I was with turned out to be a dud...but I discovered a really cool restaurant so it wasn't a total loss.


The first thing that went wrong...the guy wanted to take me to this really great restaurant in Chinatown.  But since it was a Friday night, the place was packed.  He hadn't made reservations and there was almost a three hour wait.

So he took me to this little hole-in-the-wall family run place.  They didn't have individual booths...just giant tables that would seat 8 or more people at a time.

The food was excellent!

The conversation was dull and boring.  The guy and I just didn't connect.

My attention wandered over to the cash register in the front.  One of the old aunties was watching a tv show.  It was all in Chinese, which I don't speak a word of...but the movie was basically a "Three Stooges" plot...it was very easy for me to follow  the plot.

After noticing me laughing at the movie...one of the waiters came up to me and asked if I spoke any Chinese since I was laughing along with "Auntie" at the movie.  I told him no...but since they were doing "The Three Stooges" it was easy to understand.  He asked, and I gave details when they were on tv.

A couple of weeks later I went back to the place with a couple of girlfriends and I got treated like a queen!  "Auntie" was impressed that I liked her favorite movie, and she liked "The Three Stooges" too, after checking it out.

Here I must agree  with POP.  Blind dates sk as a rule.  Either the guy is just interested in... or the woman is.  This is especially true of those newspaper "date finders".  Sorry to be negative, but in a society where EVERYTHING is a commodity, well, why not we, and our bodies too?  Isn't everything for sale?

I've been on several.  One was love at first sight, and we dated for a year before splitting up.  The rest were all lust at first sight, and we dated for a night before going to bed and leaving in the AM.

Oh no, I asked YOU out so I would pay for dinner. I would even throw in dessert! You just bring your little old self and I will take care of the rest.  ;) Although....if you brought the tequila it might make things more interesting. :D

Tequila could make it interesting alright, but I think I'd want to remember the night.  Perfect strangers are SUPPOSED to be memorable.  YOU can have the tequila.

Oh then no scrap the tequila, we will just drink Mockaritas.  ;) I don't know about you but a date with a perfect stranger sounds very very interesting. Is this casual dress, formal dress?  ;D

Quoting:
Well, it's a blind date and you want to put my experience to the test, so I'd say casual or formal?  Whichever is easiest to remove!

Well forget the formal. I guess I will wear a summerdress and sandals.  :) But how will I know it is you or how will you know it is me? I can't very well slap a giant sign on my front that says "HEY THUNDERVAMP IT'S ME!"
