Blind dates can be exciting as you'll be wondering who that person would be. It could also turn out to be heartbreaking if that person you meet doesn't meet your expectations. People who go on blind dates through introduction can be as successful in relationship as those who look for their own dates. So, just be bold, reduce your expectations, and go for it. If you don't like what you see or experience, just be friends :)

I think the blind date is excited, because we do not get how that will double with us. if we match him we will feel prosper, and if we do not match with him .. yeah just once date lah .. . it adds a sense of adventure or thrill in dating.

It may sound to be embarrassing, but I don't think it is all bad. As at least the one who introduces you this person, he/she should know him/her very well. This is important. Why not give yourself one more chance? I love China

I won't do blind dates. I get nervous enough going on a first date. I tend to date someone I've met and am a bit comfortable with at least. Blind dates just scare the crap out of me. Some people are fine with them. It is just not for me.

I have gone on a couple of blind dates. I remember one was good and on the other the guy actually showed up with a bottle of rum. I don't let my friends set me up anymore. It really depends on how well your friend knows you, my friends set me up with guys they like disregarding I am quiet and kind of a bookworm. (I met a quiet bookworm by myself in a coffee shop, we're still together)

I don't really know what your asking but blind dating means anything from being set up with someone you've never met in person before. It could involve online or the phone. There are good things and bad things about it. I know a few people who have found their soulmate throught online dating, also one's who have horrible experiences. You just have to really get to know the person really well before meeting them face to face. You never know who they could be....murderers, rapists, etc.

Some body think that blind date is a good idea, because from this way he can know a stranger very quikly and then he can decide this people ift to him or not. As fast food, to find a lover become faster and faster. But in my opinion,blind date is not a good idea. Although you can know a stranger quickly, it just his or her appearance. His or her real life will have many different from what he or she introduced. For example his family, his hobbits and so on. It's a long course to choose someone fits to you or not.
