yes. my mom fixed me up with a friend from work. She was quite bigger, like maybe 100pd more, foot taller. but attractive and pleasant personality. I was clueless and did not pursue.

I had one true "blind date" but almost every first in-person meeting from an online meeting is like a blind date.

My true blind date was in the spring of 1972. I was a very young freshman in college and one of my fraternity brother's girlfriends set me up with a girl who lived in her dorm. I borrowed a car from another fraternity brother. I asked the girl what she wanted to do and she wanted to go see a new movie called "Deliverance." Trust me, it is NOT a movie that a shy 16 year old boy should take a girl to for a first date.

The only things I remember about the girl are that she had a lisp, she had a limp, and she played the trumpet. I felt no attraction to her and I suspect the feeling was mutual. College girls generally aren't interested in 16 year old boys.

Yes, my sister set up a blind date for me. It was fantastic. We had pizza, talked until they asked us to leave, went back to her place and made out. It was the start of a very nice summer fling.

A couple of times. once during freshman year, I had a friend who was a commuter and lived nearby. He and his girlfriend knew somebody they thought I would get along with. So on Saturday they picked me up at my dorm and we were meeting this girl at a local restaurant about 5 or 6 miles away.

She shows up about 5 minutes later. She was nice looking and I thought she was pretty. We started talking and I thought she was sort of a hippie. I told her I was in Air Force R. O. T. C. and planned on being a pilot. She thought I was some kind of baby burner. We were not getting along at all.

My friend thought it would be funny if he and his girlfriend left me there alone with her It took us about 5 minutes to figure out what was going on. She tells me that she was leaving. I asked her if she could drive me back to my dormitory. She refused and left. It would have been a 5 mile walk in the freezing cold.

Before she drove off I jumped on the hood of her car and grabbed hold of the hood. She tried to shake me off but I had a good grip. She took two laps around the parking lot before she stopped and let me in the car. She gave me a ride back to my dorm. There was no goodnight kiss.

I suppose you COULD say that. We'd already been talking to each other online for a week or 3 and then decided to go on a date but I still had no idea who it was I was going out with until the night before the date and BOY, WAS THAT SCARY!! She looked ABSOLUTELY NOTHING like what I imagined!! she had extremely short hair, was a bit overweight, looked like beefy short truck driver and the grin on her face in the picture nearly had me running for the hills!! But, I still went on the date and was very nice to her but, it didn't work out.
Another time, a Dr. friend of mine set me up with a date and, she was nice, not bad looking, a tad overweight (as nearly all of my girlfriend's have been) but, we got on pretty nicely together but, something about it just didn't feel right with me so, I broke up with her a few weeks later.

I had a spell where my friends decided I needed to be dating or rather they wanted to date someone and I should go with them. I am happy to chat to anyone but I prefer picking the girl I want to date. Some were fairly embarrassing as me and the girl were obviously not suited or went pretty well and we had a laugh. I did not really date anyone after a blind date, I did end up one time with a girl a friend had wanted to date.

TheorionMage · Answer

Awkward , it was a group date and everyone else were one another's sweethearts. Both she and myself were initial contacts and I felt no physical attraction so while others were engaging in intimacies, we just kinda muddled along talking til evening's end. There's only so much small talk you can stretch---

Bricealan · Answer

Well, I never had to apologize for trying to feel her up, I just told her I was trying to shake hands good night ! 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤷‍♂️ Well, they, for the most part, were great. After dancing, and dinner, I did get her in the sack... but when I sent her flowers the next day... and called... she said when she got home there was a phone message from an old flame and she was going out to see if there was any thing still there? 🤔🤔🤔🤔 I thought... WTF? That ended that.

sheikalana · Answer

When I was 15 my friends from school planned a date for me that went really bad. I got angry at them for thinking they could choose someone for me to date. The guy liked me but I couldn't pretend that I liked him when I didn't. We didn't see each other again and my friends cried that I didn't appreciate their gesture. The thing is I always hated when people assume they know what I like.

loveslongnails · Answer

My cousin set me up with her girl friend when we were about 16 years old. I set her up with my guy friend. We couple up and had a good night of fun and making out. That's all I remember.

HawkPerception · Answer

Never. I always know who I'm going on a date with and how they look. Either I met them in person or ona dating app.

Too many girls are watching that show Love is Blind. It even has my mom hooked. It feels like nonsense.

Nikki1989 · Answer

Only once, but I ended up being with the guy for almost 2 years.

zagor · Answer

Do you mean the traditional type, where someone sets you up, or the online thing where you've seen their pics and profile but never met them except maybe over the phone?

Anonymous · Answer

Yeah that was my very first date. I was too inexperienced and too young to realize how bad it was or how rude she was (which was probably a good thing🤣). Not suprisingly I never went on another blind date again.🤣

LiamJHayden · Answer

I've only done it a few times, and only when a friend has needed it in order to get the girl he wanted to go out with him. It has never been terrible because I can have fun with anyone. But nothing long term developed, either.

ab2shifty · Answer

I haven’t, but me and my homies always do blind dates with this one friend. It’s entertaining and he’s pretty good at talking to them 🤣

Surely · Answer

I had one that was over as soon as she saw me. My body just didn’t meet her expectations? But then she was hard of hearing. So she wasn’t perfect either!

Massageman · Answer

No, but for my Sr Prom in HS, I was on a set-up date- I knew my date-to-be- but it was rather disastrous.
