Question of the Day

What do you think about blind dates?

[identity profile] beatzz.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 09:09 am (UTC)(link)
Hello...

I hope you don't mind my peeking in your journal and answering your question of the day. :)

Blind dates, personally, have been nothing but disasters. However, they can be fun. The odd feeling of not knowing the person is exciting and a bit nerve-wracking. So yeah, I don't have much else to say on that. I hope that helps.

I don't mind at all! Welcome aboard :D

I usually hate 'em :

I like to at least have some idea of what the person looks like. I hate blind dates.

Yeah... me too!

I'm too busy for any of that kind of nonsense!

LOL! :D

[identity profile] ayoub.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... Usually, I'm the same!

My eyesight is bad enough without trying to date without being able to see. LOL

My dating skills are bad enough as it is without someone else trying to fix me up, I wouldn't have a clue where to start with someone I didn't even have the slightest idea about. Thank god I'm happily in a relationship

:D

Usually, I'm shy on first meeting someone, so what people get is a highly incorrect first impression...

I think, "Gosh, I hope she's not good with a knife..."

i met my missus through a blind date :) so they are pretty good, but at the same time, they can be bad...very bad. :)

Well, it would certainly mean crossing off any sightseeing tours on the "things to do" list, but that doesn't mean we can't go to a nice restaurant, have a good meal and then sally forth to a club or some other venue to listen to some good music.

It's all about flexibility, m'boy...all about flexibility. ;)

That, and there's never going to be another hunk catching her eye ;)

I'm open to them, especially if the recommendation is from a trusted friend. Not all work out well, but if per chance I had the opportunity, I would probably accept.

Why not?

[identity profile] ayoub.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I usually hate the idea myself... But then, Who knows... They could prove interesting :)

[identity profile] delphaicdragon.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 12:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't have much to think about them... never really been on one. Not the traditional blind date, anyway, where friends set you up. Now if you're talking about meeting someone from online you've never even seen a picture of... I've done that LOTS of times. And it's fun. It can be scary sometimes, depending on who shows up, but it's always interesting.

[identity profile] ayoub.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I dunno, every time I've met someone from online, it's been awesome :D

[identity profile] bluesauce.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Hate them, I've had nothing but bad luck with them. Psychotics and misrepresentation.

[identity profile] ayoub.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's the scary side...

I've never been on one. If it were set up by someone I trusted, especially if it were a double date with the person who set it up and their date, I would do it.

[identity profile] ayoub.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a good opinion :D

[identity profile] donnickcottage.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)


I like blind dates, but I have to be careful to not overcompensate. It's not as if the person hasn't learned to cope with their blindness, so my being overly aggressive in helping her to the table, reading her the menu, making sure she's not eating the tablecloth, not simply pointing when she says "where's the restroom"... could be "seen" as condescending. But I do love that feeling my face to "see" who I am thing. It's the next best thing to having sex!

[identity profile] ayoub.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
:D

And yeah, no worries about her spying some hunk :P

[identity profile] photodiva02.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I think they are awful. As the charity case of the sorority, I had been on a few and they were with real losers, so that made me feel like a loser, too.

As you can tell, I am against them.

[identity profile] ayoub.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, me too... I hate the things!

[identity profile] danicia.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I had one blind date about 20 years ago. Friend of a coworker. I hated him, but loved the George Thorogood show. :)

[identity profile] ayoub.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL!

The show was fun :)

[identity profile] uawildcatgrl.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure...I don't think I've ever been on one!

[identity profile] ayoub.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... Me neither... But there's a first time for everything :P

[identity profile] stalkings.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I've never been on one... but I would definitely go on one if I were single!

i think they're ok, just as long as you're not out with a psycho. i met my boyfriend through a blind date set up by our friends. it was risky and scary, but it turned out to be worth it.

[identity profile] ayoub.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
There are too many psychos out there though...

[identity profile] dishapeaches.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
FUN FUN! I love meeting new people!

[identity profile] ayoub.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
:D

New people are fun, that's for sure :D

[identity profile] empatia.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I've never been on a blind date...I've actually only really been on two or three real dates so i have no idea. But the thought scares me.

[identity profile] ayoub.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it's because there are too many weird people out there...

[identity profile] gsharper13.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
They are fun to walk into objects.

[identity profile] ayoub.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
LMAO!

[identity profile] eternalxwhisper.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
That I can poke my tongue out and they won't even see? ;P

...Sorry.

I think that if a friend is setting you up and that you're confident knowing they understand what you like in a guy then why the hell not? It's good fun and if it isn't you know not to do it again =D

[identity profile] ayoub.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
LMAO! :D

I like the way you think :D
