Do you enjoy going on blind dates?

Question

TheRealPepperPotts · Accepted Answer

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.

Finchie40 · Answer

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

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

No. It’s a harsh reflection of what your family and friends think of you and who or what you deserve from a mate.

DishLady · Answer

I've never been on one.

BadApple69 · Answer

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.

Lynx122 · Answer

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.

ProbablyClueless · Answer

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.

kevinthetech1996 · Answer

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

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.
