Do you enjoy going on blind dates?


Never been on one, but I'd be game if:
1. The person setting it up knows both of us extremely well, or
2. It's with total strangers and I don't know anyone
The first is ... because everyone thinks they have the perfect person for you. The truth is, they want to be the one to claim the crown of making the match. It has very little to do with my happiness. Only someone who knows me well and whom I respect, and who knows the other person well, would have my attention in that area. Everyone else? Pffft.
The second is ... because it's my own initiative and I'm deciding what I'm doing without the pressure of weirdness between myself and a would-be matchmaker. There's no pressure to decide in favor of anyone. It's just for fun and if it works out, awesome! If not, no weird vibes.
I've never participated and don't plan to... I'm quite sure I wouldn't enjoy it, as I don't date strangers :D
I haven't been on a lot of them. The last, my mom set me up with a woman she met at a convention.
It's hard to meet new people and there's no possibility of a chance meeting ever. When mom suggested it, I went. The potential for a great, new relationship was exciting. We had fun, but there was no connection and we never saw each other again.
I would do it again. Why not? There's nothing to loose and a lot to gain.
I've only ever gone on one blind date. It was a long time ago, when I was young and single. My sister set it up.
It was one of the best dates I've ever been on. We went to a pizza place, chatted so long they had to ask us to leave. We then went back to her place, watched some TV and got intimate. It was the start of a very nice, though short, summer romance.

No, i been on a few and it’s awkward , so if I am offered to go on a blind date , I make it clear we are just going as friends
No. It’s a harsh reflection of what your family and friends think of you and who or what you deserve from a mate.
I've never been on one.
Honestly, never had a good one. But I have met some seriously message up girls lol
One that stood out was this girl who couldn’t make eye contact or even get close…. If I was at her 6 o’clock she would be looking at her 3 or 9 o’clock.
About 30 minutes into this dinner date (knowing this girl was too weird) I started moving in the direction she was looking. I’d move to 3 then to 9 and then back to 6 o’clock lol. If you asked her after the day what color my eyes are she couldn’t tell you. I’m not sure she could tell you the color of my shirt. I felt bad for her because something screwed her up. I even asked if she wanted to go out again, she said maybe but it never happened.
hell nah
one time I went on a blind date
and I got matched with an uncontrollable obese girl
not to be uh not-like-fatasses...'s or whatever it's called, I'm just not into girls that are above overweight
there may be plenty of fish in the sea, but my rod's got a weight limit 👁👄👁
@SpeedAnswerDemon That is the funniest thing I've read on G@G so far! OMG... rod with a weight limit. :O
@TheRealPepperPotts its a small rod, it can only handle that much man
:(
I've never done it :) It seems like if you have no clue what you're gonna get it's usually not gonna be great.
I've been on a few and had good experiences each time. There's definitely a unique pressure to going on a blind date though.
Yes and no yes because the experience is a mystery and no because you don't actually know what the person truly will look like until after
Never done it. Sounds like it would fail 99% of the time though honestly
I have only been on 3 or 4. One was an absolute horror show.
I enjoy meeting new people, so I am game for it. Worst case is I know that I will personally have some fun.
No, I prefer to see my dates and what I’m doing. 😆
Honestly don't like the idea of them I do not like going into situations like that completely blind.
I did but wouldn't it be better if were blindfolded during date…?
I don't like the idea before hand but once I'm there I done mind it and generally try to have a good time.
They can be great fun or a total nightmare.
In this day and age, I’d rather know the person first. 😬
I’ve never been on a blind date but I don’t think I’d like it
I did. But tantra speed dates and I guess speed dating is not a blind date although it kinda is...
It's nice to learn about another person
Can’t say that I enjoy them. But they can be interesting at times. As long as I don’t have to do all of the talking!
I’ve been on them. It’s like rolling the dice nine times out of 10’ you are not gonna be there attracted to them.
I've never been on a blind date. I always assumed that the only guy going on a blind date would have to extremely desperate.
Not really some I got set up on been creepy. I like to meet them in person before to see if I can pick up on some vibs.
I once went on a blind date with a woman who was expecting a baby.
But at the bar, I felt like a twat in diapers while chugging bear.
No, because friends always try setting me up with people they think are attractive, not based on my version of attractive.
I think that's a NO. I should know him well, very well.
Yes Why not? Sometimes blind dates can turnout into excellent ones.
the chance of being attracted to the girl is almost zero so no
I’ve tried. Dudes won’t talk to ya if u got no picture.
I would rather fight a hippo (bareknuckle)
I've never been on one, never been asked.
No, I don't date someone I barely know.
No and never been at one
No, I never dated in my life
I’d just like to go on a date🥺
Never been on one.
Nope, never had a blind date!
Never done that, never will.
as much as I enjoy walking on fire
I would like to try this for the experience
Never. I hate blind dates.
I’ve never even had the opportunity to try.
Not really but I'll do it.
I was blinded by blind dates.
