Would you go on a blind date, if the opportunity present itself?

Question

sheikalana · Accepted Answer

Nope. I don't like the idea of going on a blind date and meeting someone I'm not sure I'll have a connection with. My friends set me up for a blind date without my consent a few years ago and I was so pissed off the guy literally thought I was so rude and in fact I was. I didn't want to be there with a stranger that my friends thought was the right guy for me I hate when people want to decide what's best for me and what's not.

Like i dont mind being setup with some complete stranger as long as i’ve seen like a pic of what they look like beforehand. Dont send me out their totally blind witth someone i may not even be physically attracted to 😂

G_latt · Accepted Answer

Yes! I would be eager to meet someone new, and even if we don't end up liking each other, I would still have made an acquaintance. Even if the sole purpose is for dating I would have made a friend who could introduce me to other people I might be interested in having a relationship with! It's a no brainer.

No way!!! I like to pick my own date

lilyanony1 · Answer

No I don't like others picking someone for me...
This has happened before and every single time the person has told me that I am not what they envisage for themselves.
People see me as forward thinking progressive and have a joy for life. A good candidate for a progressive modern man. But every time they meet me they tell me they prefer other races and don't date black.
I did meet someone recently though very successful and he liked me but he was in a relationship, with a white girl. It wasn't that she was white, that I cut him off. It was more that he disrespected her by putting himself on the market.
He insulted her for being white and not being able to fully cater to his black needs. Claiming that I was the full package and not the type of black woman he'd met before.
I was deeply upset that he disrespected two races of women in one simply sentence.

The insult he gave was just a reminder that no matter how far we've come we're still so far behind as people not as individual races.

That's what upsets me the most upset modern life. .

I like the way you spun a major headache, into the opportunity of a lifetime. Kind of like asking if you would submit too oral surgery without the benefit of nerve deadening injections, laphing gas, and morphine or anesthetic, instead drinking a gallon of coffee right before the procedure too calm your nerves and relax you;
when your best friend shows you just how 'unfreindly, he can really be, by guilting you into keeping his girlfriend's cousin occupied, since his his girlfriend will never hear the end of it from her mother, which means nobody's going too have a good time this weekend while the cousin is in town visiting over the New Year's day holiday celebration. I've been on two blind dates in my lifetime. I ran the margins and did the math prior too picking her up on that first blind date. It could have been every bit the calamity my equations and pessimism predicted it would, but she was a practical young girl, sparing both of us a miserable night by proposing a win, win senario where I talley up the total cost of dinner, and dancing, give her half the expense so she get too stuffing the roll of bills into her braw for ditching in favor of sn illegal rave she wanted too be at, while I went too the Intersection, where Slamdancers beat the shit out of each other legally in the guise of speedmetal appreciation too shoving, punching, kicking each other bloody, black and blue too Black flag's My War album in the Mosh Pit, for the antisocial, social event of the year. We both cheated the rules on that one a bit, in the name of having a "not sucking the big hairy matza ball evening" instead of being miserable in each other's company.

RingOfFire · Answer

I did a few blind dates years ago, but would not do it again. Honestly I've never been on a date that I hated, but the blind dates never turned out to be someone I was interested in for a LTR. My tastes are very specific. And the older I get, the less chance there is someone else can pick someone that would interest me because I don't date the types they think I am interested in. Although with Covid I'm not dating IRL at all... it's all online communication only (which is pretty unfulfilling I might add).

Owen_9527 · Answer

According to my observation, most youngsters tends to set up the date themselves. However, they won’t reject the opportunities which seem present themselves when they thirst to get some dates, especially after been single for a long term. But the experiences of the first one or two blind dates are nasty or awful, generally, people would dread to go on a blind date again. Anyway, any coin have two sides. We also have seen that many single guys and girls find their life partner from a blind date.

To sum up, there is nothing inherently good or bad about blind date things, it depends on how you look at it and whether you two have feels for each other.

TruthBringer · Answer

Well, if they meet certain criterias before hand, I wouldn't mind. I'm open to be surprised and getting to know someone I didn't choose myself. If it works out, great! If not, I may have enjoyed spending some time with someone I don't know. If I was single that is...

CurlyGirl42 · Answer

No.. I do like the idea of being set up by a friend with another friend that they would think I fit well with. But my friends are not very good at telling who I am attracted to, and when they talk about 'setting me up' it is only talking about.. "oh you are a nice person, he is a nice person.. you have both been single like forever, so why not give it a try?" xD

evangeline777 · Answer

I went on one once.
I met him online, he didn't have a profile pic, I didn't have a pic either.
He asked me if I was daring enough to meet him without knowing how he looks or anything else. I liked it as it was definitely different so I said yes.
He actually was handsome, we had a great time together, chatted and laughed for hours. But after the date it kinda died down.

Browneye57 · Answer

Would and have. Back in the days before the internet, all we had was the phone. Girls understood how to catfish way back then. LOL
I dodged and ditched one waiting to meet. A fucking blimp. No way jose. :)

likelyOK · Answer

No I would not I have had several people try and set me up, I need to be attracted to the person or it’s a waste of time

bradc00 · Answer

I think it would be a unique experience and something I’d wanna try maybe once just for fun and curiosity. But I doubt anything would come out of it. But who knows? Maybe I could meet somebody amazing from it.

Star177 · Answer

Yah!  Never had one but I think I can try out 😃

lukeedmonton · Answer

Sure why not. I would have to trust my friend or whoever set it up, that they would choose a good fit for me. I am into nerdy gamer girls, not Instagram wannabe models.

Oboemaster27 · Answer

Yes I would. People don't really talk to me much and I'm really shy so yeah. And the idea of it seems fun

SunnySri · Answer

I don't think mam I would. I am not good at talking with girls, so if I meet a stranger on a blind date, it would be very difficult for me to talk to her and she will not be able to enjoy the date.

Sparda20xx · Answer

I've gone on two blind dates. The first one was a disaster. The woman constantly talked about jer ex, had bad manners, etc. But the second woman was quite a delight. I thoroughly enjoyed the date

AlexanderAnttila · Answer

I think I'd try it just because it'd be exciting to see who I'd go with. But I wouldn't go in with expectations or plans for it to turn serious.

ValleyofDrakes · Answer

Yes. It's getting a date without having to do any work to get it.

fonduegirl · Answer

No. I'm not looking for a relationship. Plus I kinda sorta def mayhaps have somebody in mind already. :)

OfDeath · Answer

Is that like a date where you both have to get blind? I'm not sure. Drinking is fun but so much that you get blind drunk always ends up with a severe hangover the next day. I'll pass on that one.

dandiecandie · Answer

How blind of a date is this? Is it a friend introducing another friend? Or a guy you've met online?

Avicenna · Answer

Sure, but I’d insist we both get tested for COVID first.

stuntbrain · Answer

Blind dates are offensive. I go on them only to shame people for not using the phrase: "visually-impaired social interaction"

ColHathi · Answer

Maybe.  I'm very scared of something like that, so I'd most likely just decline the offer out of fear.

roastbeef · Answer

Sure I would. Usally friends and peers know about both individuals and its a good start then a random bar seen or whatever. They know what both of you have in common.

pigoat · Answer

Only if she is good looking Otherwise i am declining the date

MelissaMarie9614 · Answer

Yes! I actually would give it a shot. As long as I get to know the guy and we could hit it off.

Gedaria · Answer

Yes , daughters got one for me. It was great fun, I didn't tell the girls that...

InferiorElegy · Answer

Nope, not again. Last time that happened, the girl stood me up after showing up to the restaurant, I'm guessing she didn't think I saw her.

Pete671 · Answer

Yes could be fun!, with lockdown imminent in UK, take up every opportunity you can,,,

Larry30 · Answer

As long as the right person set up the date. Someone who knows me. I assume that would be the case.

Dchrls78104 · Answer

No. I think that the concept should stay in the past.
