If your friend hooked you up with someone who they KNOW is not your type, how would you react?

Question

#1 Would you call you friend out during or after the date? (In this case its a blind date so you dont really know what you’re meeting until you get there). #2 Would you continue the date, never attend, or make up an excuse to leave early? My Reaction— Lol i dont play that blind date crap. I prob wouldve been making faces at my friend the whole time cause it sure as heck better be a double date if they’re hooking me up with some random. I prob wouldve made excuses to sit next to my friend instead of the guy. I’d hate to waste the guys time but shit he’s already there. So i’d be like “I’m so sorry she dragged you here without telling you that I’m already romantically interested in someone else. But since you’re already here, if you still wanna chill with us, feel free.” Then i’d cuss my friend out back home. #FeelFreeToList #iGotTheHookup #scenario

In college, my best friend asked me to hang out on the weekend, but when she rolled up, she was with some guy I'd never met and she'd never mentioned in our plans. She immediately started acting super weird and telling me, I should sit up front next to him...and that we kind of look cute together. This guy was not cute, his voice was goofy, and he was like an entire foot shorter than me. I kind of figured out that she was trying to get us together for some reason. By that time he was awkwardly looking at me, and the silence was deafening, so I bluntly told her, I'll sit in the back, thanks. That car ride was filled with more silence, and to make it worse, I had no idea what she'd told this guy in terms of my potential interest in him because I never once have ever tried to hook her up with anyone and this was I guess her very very unsolicited attempt.

Well, a few weeks later, she tells me, since I didn't want him (uh, I never asked for him, thank you), she wanted to get my permission to date him (yeah, sure, the guy I never wanted in the first place, you want to date him, why the hell are you asking my permission). So anyway, I'm like do you. And she does. And I was happy for them, and during that time, we did become friends. They did date for a year and a half before breaking up. Oh but it gets better. A few months after the break up, this guy decides to come all the way out of the closet and announced he had a boyfriend now.

I’d obviously be mad. My friends know what I like… if they purposefully hook me up with someone they know I won’t like them I figured they were trying to be disrespectful. I would still go to the date so I wouldn’t be rude I’m definitely calling them out after though.

I'd be pretty annoyed if they knew the sort of guy I was into but decided to try and play matchmaker with something different. With that being said I am pretty open minded so I would still go through the date and see how it goes, if we don't connect then hopefully I gain a friend at the least 😊

I would be honest with the person straight up that it wasn't going to be anything romantic but im perfectly happy making new friends if they want. If they are completely insufferable I would really question my friends motives and then plot a revenge prank.

CaptainLegal · Answer

I would continue the date because I don´t want to be rude to the other person and wouldn´t tell anything about ´oh actually you´re not my type and that friend hooked me up with you´ etc. I would still talk to her and continue the date, because I love hearing other peoples opinions and listen to their story. Just because a girl may not be my type doesn´t mean that she couldn´t be a new friend.

TonyV · Answer

I geuss I'd be pretty annoyed, and I wouldn't know how to let her down easy cause I have never rejected a girl before, so I'd be mad at my friend for putting me in a situation I dont know how to get out of without hurting a girls feelings.

electromagnetic · Answer

They’ve tried.

I remember when I was 19, my best friend and her man were having a house warming party and they thought it would be a good idea to hook me up with one of his guy friends… yeahhhhh no. They didn’t try again after that.

I thought my (now) girlfriend was trying to set me up with one of her friends. She invited me out on a date and her friend found her there unexpectedly. She didn't tell me that her friend ambushed her. She also didn't have the heart to tell her friend what she was doing there. Since it wasn't just her and me I didn't know it was supposed to be a date.

1. After. It isn't the date's fault they got set up with the wrong person, unless of course it was a deliberate set up just to piss you off.

2. I would tell them it was a pleasure to meet them, but they don't have what you are looking for. You are willing to be friends with them, but it couldn't go farther than that.

im not sure but i know your friends are real cock blockers when i try to talk to you  HA just being funny XD

TheorionMage · Answer

They had, and on that ONE 'blind date' I remained a gentleman and behaved civilly  so as to not hurt her feelings and did NOT do a 'sympathy fuck'  so as to cause her to feel 'objectified'.

Phoenix98 · Answer

That's one of the many reasons I don't do them.

An example being if my coworkers did that I know straight she's probably a hooker with a very specific set of instructions /=.

But yeah I wouldn't be happy.

I'd overall continue the date with being polite at the end that there will not be another date

CallmeTheKnight · Answer

I know for certain I'll be having a word with my friend about it, but I will give this woman a chance if that ever happened. I never do the blind dates. I need to know who am I supposed to see and how are they like, etc.

devilish-cutie · Answer

I flip when they even suggest someone i could never date, i feel beyond offended Only my sister reqlly knows my type

Joey_007 · Answer

Finish the date, text her to call things off and then proceed to make the rest of said friend's life a living hell

AydenHazor · Answer

I refuse to be set up by anyone on a date. I'll flat out tell them that it you want to introduce someone to me, do so as a friend, and let us decide where it goes, but there's no way in hell I'm letting a friend set me up on a date

Siren777 · Answer

Good God no😂 My besties would do this to annoy the sh*t out of me. Hell no.

Dragonpurple · Answer

I'd be polite about it, after all that is what the first date is for... get to know each other a bit to find out if a second is in the making.

AdithyaR · Answer

I'd let both my friend and the date know I won't be attending cause I hate being set up. I'd be angry at my friend for doing that even though they know better

pleasestopthis · Answer

I don't go on blind dates but I'd probably make some excuse to avoid the date and just call my friend out on their BS.

ariadneR · Answer

Family have done that to me before. I went just to be courteous, but I made it clear that there was no way in hell there would be a second date
