Blind dates?

[XBabylonX]

Have you ever been on one? A friend of mine really wants to set me up with a guy. I haven’t dated in a long time and I’m not sure if I should meet him. Advice?

I've never been on a traditional one myself.

I suppose when you meet people from the apps or an online personal-ad that is a blind date too. Only difference is you set up the blind date yourself instead one of your friends/relatives doing it.

Anyway, I'd say go for it. If you don't vibe with the guy then don't have a 2nd date. No harm done.

I told her to tell him my diagnosis and if he’s still interested regardless I’ll give it a go

I've only been on one date my entire life and it wasn't a blind date. I asked the girl to go out with me.

I wouldn't really care for blind dates much, since you know nothing whatsoever of the person. I prefer to get to know a person organically and go from there.

I experienced going on a blind date once, way back in high school, during Valentine's Day. and I think you should give it a go; there's nothing wrong with trying. Who knows? He's the one meant for you.

Personally I never go on blind dates or any dates actually I don't like being set up at all...but I guess they work for some people but why not see at least a picture first I mean wouldn't that be more efficient? Then if you like the picture start by calling each other on the phone etc...

I might just get him to call and see if we like each other first I’m more comfortable with that than an actual blind date

That's sounds better for sure at least you'll both be able to know each other at least a little bit before getting together...

I've been on a few blind dates that my friends and family set up for me when I was in my early 20's. None of those dates every worked out for me.

Yeah I think at minimum you have to see other first by pictures or in person or at least talk on the phone etc have a connection started already before meeting for first time...

When I walked in to see these girls at the restaurant on the blind date, my heart sank and disappointment soured my stomach. I have gotten way better results from using Tinder.

At least with Tinder they post pictures even if they touched up ones haha...

Many, moons ago, back when I was 19, I went on a blind date. It was interesting. We had fun. But then the next day, my date decided that they didn't want to continue dating me anymore. I was heartbroken! That's okay. A better partner walked into my life about two years ago.
