Have you had successful blind dating experiences?

WITHOUT exception, every single blind date that people have hooked me up with have never been remotely close to being a good match for me. Even when the people who know me the best have tried to hook me up, it has been disaster. I think it's bizarre that my friends have no idea about what makes me tick when it comes to what I like in a man.

One time my best friend hooked me up on with a friend of her friends. She was telling me all these great things and I was so excited and when I showed up I was like eek This guy was like 350 pounds. Normally I really don't care much if my partner has a belly or extra weight. That doesn't bother me. But he was a little out of control there lol But I am really gracious in those situations and went on the date and really engaged him as a person.

When we got back from the date my friend asked me what I thought. I went neutral neutral neutral neutral confused What's wrong with you? How can you not know my type?!

He's older, he has a goatee, he's nice and he's rich! confused

He's like 350 pounds!

So you're not going to date him?

No

Oh my god. What is wrong with you? You could have it made with this guy. He will totally take care of you

You don't have to fuck him. I do!

My friend was projecting her greed onto me. I'm not one of those that can fake my way through a relationship for money. Nope.

Am I the only one who cannot get a good hookup through blind dates? lol

My parents met through a blind date and they've been married for 37 years. shrug

Personally, going on a date with someone I've met on my own terrifies me enough (I get really, really nervous), so going a blind date would likely cause me to have a complete and total nervous breakdown. lol

Ick, I personally hate blind dates. My friends used to try to set me up with someone that they knew, and it never worked out. Never again. talk to the hand
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

In all seriousness, I don't see you being uber picky on the looks front, but everyone has what they are attracted to and what they are not. I see you with someone who is kind, generous, loves music, is perhaps a bit dominant and is a dynamo in the sack.

The one time I tried it, it didn't work out.
I ended up getting a "Dear John" letter in braille.

I did many years ago- i think I was 19 or 20. He was a brother in law of a coworker. She nagged me for months so finally I said yes when I saw his pic. He was a beach volleyball player....

Well let's just say the date went well- we were together for almost 6 years.
I do not think I would do the blind date thing again though.

Really? We've met, remember? I'm not 350 lbs, but. . .by conventional standards, I might as well be. lol

But thanks. If I were a gay boy, I would, of course, be thrilled to have you as my blind date and future husband. wink

Actually, I went on something like a blind date once. We weren't set up, we met online, but he didn't ask for a picture. I took that to mean that he was open to getting to know anybody. shrug

Yeah, no, not so much. lol He clearly took one look and decided he wasn't interested, and then proceeded to tolerate me through dinner. He was boring, so I didn't care, but. . . I wouldn't be excited about repeating that experience.

I'd do it. Why lose a chance to meet someone. Since it's a blind date, that means you can't really tell who it will be. Never rule out the possibility of someone you might like.

I've only been on one blind date. He seemed nice enough when we went out and he was a decent looking guy. He was tall, neatly dressed. And we had an adequate evening out although he was not that exciting; but it could have been first date jitters.
. But after talking to him on the phone a few times it seemed he spent a lot of time bragging about his possessions. It turned me off.

OMG-if u go on a blind date,get a picture first falloff

I've been on 2 blind dates
The first one-we talked on the phone for a week and we had lots in common,really hit it off. He shows up at my door and he's like a walking tree branch. If I would have sneezed he would have blown away. He caressed my arm and told me I was smoking hot...so desirable. His hands were so cold like death. shake 30 minutes into the date he tells me he has a girlfriend. I was so happy! I didnt want that cryptkeeper.

The 2nd one was a group get together type thing. This guy looked like Snoop Dogg. I didnt even talk to him,tried not to look at him. He brought his friend along and we hit it off. biggrin
