Foo - Blind date

If someone set's you up on the blind date and your date ends up looking like Rue Paul. Is it ok to ditch? Would you ditch? fo'realz.

Kinda had that situation once. WOuldn't say that I ditched, but I did make it a very short evening.

she thought you looked like RuPaul?

Hardly. She was all about it. Actually was sending me text messages for the next week and a half, asking when we could go out again. *shudder*

If I were forced to go out with you Jon, then yes, I would poke my eyes out with a serving fork.

I would just start talking about my upcoming mission, and the fact that I love pink.

Just say, this is first date you've had since your genital wart break out has cleared up. That should do the trick, in most cases.

Who ditched you Rue? Er....I mean Jon.

Nah....she'd just buy him some TJ's peanut butter.

Nah....she'd just buy him some TJ's peanut butter, a large pineapple and some rubbing alcohol. I also suspect she would treat herself to some welding goggles and earplugs.

I didnt do blind dates...so I wouldn't run into a situation where I needed to figure it out

No blind dates for me either!

I'd go home and take serious stock of myself.

Dating is pretty serious business; unfortunately most look at it like a hassle, and therefore end up on blind dates with Ru Paul.

I've never considered dating to be serious business. You go out for drinks or dinner with someone and sometimes you hit it off and sometimes you don't. I've never understood people thinking that dating is serious.

It's the people who take dating serious that complain about how horrible dating is and are sooooo terrified of ending up alone.

The dating part is not serious. Hiding the evidence from teh wife, that is the serious part.

Really? Do you also update your resume in crayon?

It's really about figuring out what you want and making a game plan to get it- it's not about leaving things to a chance connection. It doesn't have to be totally serious, but it does require some inward-looking honesty and maybe some hard-work to get where you want to be.

IMHO too many people just want someone to accept them without trying to improve themselves ("there's someone for everyone") and in a situation that could dictate the ebb and flow of the next 40+ years of your life that's a pretty lazy way to go about it.

:lol:

This isn't about me, the thread that is. I'm not free dating.

Be a gentleman. Don't hurt someone's feelings. Some folks are not the most attractive but you agreed to the date don't be superficial about it. Now if it is a guy in drag then you might not want to go on the date and that is understandable! Looks like Ru Paul you say? Hmmmm?

That's not taking it seriously, it's more of a knee-jerk fear mentality.

Guys, don't get me confused here. By "taking dating seriously" I mean that you take yourself seriously and take action to be that right person in the right place. If you can do that the dating part is actually rather easy because you'll then be attracting the right people.

I've watched far too many people hurry up and "get it over with" only to end up miserable in the end.

Nope.

Meh. Maybe, but there's plenty of merit in just going out with a girl to see if there's a connection. I've dated plenty of girls that I've just met randomly in different places and had absolutely no expectations of how the night would go. If it ended up with her cooking breakfast in the morning, then so be it; but, if it ended up with me ending the date early and calling up a f*** buddy, then that was cool, too. I think placing so much value on dating is exactly what makes people end up miserable when things don't work out.

The girl I'm with now is probably one of the most fantastic human beings I've ever met in my life, but when we went on our first date, I was not one bit placing any kind of expectation on it at all. The fact that I found out pretty quickly what an amazing person she is actually made me want to work for our relationship. On the flip side, I could not imagine if I took every date seriously. Seems like a lot of trouble for no good reason.

I think you are confusing dating with being in a serious relationship.

True, but isn't that the point most of the time? :D

That may be the end result. You don't have to treat it like it is already. You are putting the cart before the horse when you do that.

I reverted to plan B. My friends were out on the town at the same time I was meeting blind date. I pretty much lost the date in the crowd and met up with aforementioned friends.

The old adage was in my day, "Dating is for Mating"! One looks for the opposite sex of the species to fulfill the biological imperative and pass on ones genes. While humans have gussied up the process through the use of frontal lobes it is intrinsically the same.

Some of what men and women find attractive varies from culture to culture but it always related back to fecundity. Simply put we may use tools but we are essentially like every other species. Dating, serious relationship, hooked up, and so on relates back to the simple bilogical imperative....reproduce and perpetuate the species.

Boring and mundane but essentially the whole truth of it.:p:D

The only blind date I've had was with a blind lady in Oklahoma City. When her prayer group asked her the next day why she had not been at the prayer meeting last night she described the Alice Cooper concert I had taken her to.

A genuine blind date? The woman could be as ugly as Mothra and I'd still take her. Not her fault and she could still be fun. The I'd settle with the Swell Old Boy who set me up.

Remember, ugly/fat chicks are grateful.

Yes, not being attracted to someone is a definite reason to abandon all social ethics. :rolleyes:

PS. the smiley is for the sarcastically challenged.

With enough beer, you an drink anyone pretty. :beer:

Depends on how you mean that. Physical attraction, regardless of what we may want to believe, is very important. If you find yourself not the least bit interested because of how someone looks, you can't help that. However, while I may find it completely acceptable to cut a date dramatically short, I don't believe in just ditching that person.

scoot like a longtail cat in a room full of rocking chairs......
