So, have you ever been to a blind date? From what i can see on MTV, u know, on Boiling Point and all the other shows actually, i can tell that blind date is something actual common. And i'm use to go blind too, and the most of the times i have a quite fine evening. That's because i think that someone's mind is FAR more important than his figure. I'd *love* to hang out with Brad Pitt, of course, but if all that i can do during the evening is admire his body and dream about his six-pack,well, i'd rather go out with Denny De Vito. And i'm not into chubs :D
What are your experiences, folks?

Blind dates=nightmare
I started giving my dates nicknames.
One was lawyer chick-she was very, very, very serious.
Needless to say, no second date.
Then there was the infamous "umbrella chick" - a story all of my friends know about. First of all, I was dressed nicely, I believe in first impressions. She, apparently did not, considering that she was a cop on a university campus, and simply took off her uniform and wore some dirty jeans and a t-shirt with sweat stains. UGH. As soon as she opened her mouth, I wanted to head for the hills. The waitress must not have liked me because she took forever to get the bill to us. Instead of having to wait for her to use her card, I threw out some cash and got up.
It was raining outside when we walked out, so we both opened our umbrellas and stood in the rain through about a minute of uncomfortable silence. Since it was during the work week, I used the "um, well look at theh time" excuse. However, she decided to ask for a ride to her car since I was parked closer to the restaurant than she. I try my best to be very polite and make it through situations that I really dislike being in, so I said yes. I drove her to her car, which really was not that much farther away from the place than mine was and said goodnight. I drove home thanking God that it was over.
The next day, I noticed she had left her umbrella behind the passenger seat. Who in their right mind does that when riding in someone else's vehicle? Nobody. (Trust me, I took a poll on this from my coworkers at the time. )
That night, I just so happened to get an email from her saying, "I forgot my umbrella in your vehicle, oops" Yeah, it was planned....and if that wasn't enough to prove it, it continued with, "Maybe we can meet up at that nice restaurant again and I can have my umbrella returned."
Well, I didn't take to kindly to it, but I didn't want to be mean and just keep the evil umbrella, so I emailed back saying that I would be at a coffee shop at a certain time and would have the umbrella with me.
So, I went to the coffee shop and waited fifteen minutes. She was a no show, and I sure as heck was not going to wait any longer. I had considered leaving it by the front door at the place, but thought some stranger would take it.....so in the end, one of my friends got a new umbrella out of the deal! I learned from the experience never to attempt blind dating again!
i don't like blind dates and i've never been on one. but for those who can do it, i guess it's ok.

I went on one blind date and that was the end of doing that. We met at a Mexican Restuarant for dinner. He got there before me and had already ordered an appetizer and had downed most of it before I had even sat down. The moment I sat down he started talking about how he used to be fat but still loved to eat. The food was falling out of his mouth and all over his goatee and making me quite sick. He would ask a question and then start talking about food again. The only thing he did seem to have some interest in was what my favorite food was and what I was going to order. I guess he planned on dipping his 'used to be pudgy but aren't any longer' fingers into my plate. About that time I snuck my phone out of my pocket under the table where he couldn't see. I had just talked to my friend so all I had to do was push send and it called her back. I waited a good amount of time till I knew she had to have picked up by now and tapped S-O-S on the mouth piece and then hung up. Thankfully she called right back (just as I had hoped). I told him "Oh...Excuse me I have to get this". As soon as I answered she said "What the hell are you doing?". I said "Oh no...Are you ok?". She said "What?". I said "Ok...stay with your car and I'll be right there". I then explained that I had to go get my friend whose car had just died on the side of the road. Paid for my beer and left. He said "Call me after, maybe we can get together later for dessert". Oh God...Can you imagine? Very mean of me I know...But at least I didn't say "you are making me sick, I'm leaving".
I met my husband through a blinddate. I fought it, kicking and screaming and lo and behold, here I am 5 years later totally in love! ah amore!
