Blind Date????

Polly, I am glad you had fun! I hope if nothing else you have made a good friend. I am in way over my head with the one I have but he is good to me. I have had a couple of blind dates before but they didnt really workout.

This is so funny. No I have never went on a blind date and after what is happening to me and my "SO CALLED" better half there will Never again be another date with anyone!!! My daughter was and still is very close friends with one of the girls at the bank and she has always thought the world of my daughter and she has a brother who at the time was doing way too much drinking and she loves her brother dearly. He truly is a good guy biggest fault being he is a workacholic. Sooo she arranged a blind date for her brother and my daughter. They dated for many months and one day I asked her why she hadn't brought him home to meet me and she said it was not going to happen until she knew for sure where the relationship was going to go because she knew very well I would love him to pieces and in the event it didn't work out she didn't want to hurt me. It finally happened she did bring him to meet me and just as she expected I thought he was Mr. right. They lived together after that and after a while she said she would have to go because she was ready to settle down and she didn't want it to be with a drinking man. He gave up the bottle and only now has the very odd drink, they're married and have two wonderful children. My grandson just turned 8 and my granddaughter is 5. Good luck Polly and watch out for the sparks when they start to fly dear friend!!! Hope he realizes he has to love Maxine too!!!lol

Blind dates....they scare the wubbers out of me lol. I've only ever been on one, and I swore never again. That was a long time ago. I think friends who do that coming from the right place. They see two people who might have common interests and figure they might hit it off. Even though I'm short (5'2") mine was with a guy they said was taller, he turned out to be eye level. That part aside, there was a womanizing attitude that I didn't care for and couldn't picture myself on another date with him. It definitely did NOT work out. I'm glad you got to go out though, you deserve to go out and have a nice time cause, well, you never know when the luv bug might actually hit. Personally, I haven't been on a date in a couple of years. The last one I had I was seriously afraid when I saw the guys volitile temper over little trivial things.

A long time ago, I was on a blind date. It worked out all right. I was not scared and he did not run in fright. We were able to talk, but for some reason, we did not hit it, so that never turned out. It happened in my 20s when I was first starting to date. But now I am 66, so I do not recall everything about that period of my life.

hello polly that is great that you went out on a blind date last night and had a great time! and your height and his height shouldn't make any difference to either one of you like that. lol and to answer your question about blind dates, no i haven't ever been on a blind date before. lol btw, where did you-all go to eat? and you are correct, if the sparkes do not fly, like romance wise, then don't worry about it, you-all can still be friends. take care and have a beautiful evening.

I had one blind date and it really wasn't too bad! We dated for a few months afterwards too. It just inda fizzled out.. no problems but the blind date was kinda fun really! He was a friend of friends so it wasn't like someone from outer space or anything!

Good for you and how brave of you. Yes, I think it is brave to 'gird your loins' for a blind date. If it matures into friendship then even better. Friends at any age are priceless. The only blind dates I've had have been to were arranged to meet at a party so they were not really so blind as a meeting for dinner for two. There were plenty of people and friends about to keep the conversation flowing and things to do. Also an escape route for the poor girl!! haha I'm happy to be friends with anybody but I'm not very experienced to 'read the signals' given out by girls/women/ladies which tends to frustrate them when I fail to pick them up and act on them. Heyho!

I have been on a blind date before and it sis not work out at all. I wish I had been blind on that date. It was a mess and I left in a hurry.

What happened to your last beau, Polly? Not enough meat of him? LOL Sorry, I still remember that photo of you and that skeleton (I mean, your man LOL). Anyway, to answer your question, no I've never had a blind date. I married young and as I'm still married to the same man 14 years later I don't think he'd appreciate me going out on a blind date, or any date for that matter! LOL But then again, who knows? After all, I never asked him!

Bless you and you find a friend for dinner at any time, in the time you need to accompany you around.

That's awesome Polly!! You go girl!! You deserve it and who knows, maybe it'll turn into something later on and then again, maybe not but at least you're out having a wonderful time and that's all that matters!! lol Hubby and I went out tonight for my last "real" food for probably a month because tomorrow I'm having the rest of my bottoms pulled or "dug" out for there's nothing there but roots with caps on top, anyway, we saw what had to be the tallest or next to, man in this world! He must've been 7 foot something!! He was TALL!! His wife was shorter than ME and I'm only 5 ft 5 in!! lol That happens a lot and it does make me wonder where's the attraction? lol because how can they see each other without breaking their necks or backs? lol

{{{POLLY}}} YOU GO GIRLFRIEND!!! Bravo to you!! I myself hate blind dates always did and only ever accepted one, that's the last one I'll ever do too and that was a lifetime ago...LOL!! if nothing else like you said I hope you have gained a new friend and if it becomes something "special"...then AWESOME RIGHT??? keep us posted!!! You know us "myloter's want to know"

yeah i ever do blinddate before i find my boyfriend.yup im not enjoying it.usually i only want to add more friend only not to find mr.right .usually he do it with others too.so for me i dont really like blinddate.i like if someone love me so i will love he too.but it need long time to get

Oh,what's your feeling about him?If you have a good expression of him,going on.If you don't like any more,just stop.

Well Vicky, it doesn'r matter about the height, as long as you have fun with this person. wow, I didn't know you were that tall, you are about as tall as my Husband. How did you feel when you saw him and he was shorter than you? I really don't think it matters, I don't guess, do you think it matters? As long as you both don't have a problem with it, then it isn't a problem. Yay! Vicky got a date!

i have not gone for dates with anyone other than my hubby(before we got married),so the blind date is out of question.in your case,this blind date scenario looks quite interesting,hope you have a good time.

I have been on a couple of blind dates. None of them worked out for me. What they did do is to boost my confidence about getting back into the dating game. Kinf like a warm-up. I was able to practice being interesting and interested on someone that I was likely to never see again.

Blind date......... wow that was an interesting post. To be honest with you I really can't say that I've been on blind date because I always say that I want to see a picture of the other person before I make a commitment to it. Then by the time I see the picture I will know if I want to take things any further or not. Hee hee, good luck with your new manI"m happy for you. It's been a long time since I've been out on a date too but I guess once you get married the dates seem to diminish somewhat, unfortunately.
