Have you ever been on a blind date ? I’ve always heard horror stories about blind dates.. ofcourse some good stories as well. Some think that blind dates are for those who are..well.. ` Not so good looking ` or those who can never find dates.. but I don’t think that’s true at all. I’ve set up others and my friends have set me up too for one/two blind dates and trust me.. they are loads of fun. Even if you find a weirdo..the fun of trying something so whacky gives me a thrill. You may not go out w/t the guy/girl again.. but what the heck.. it’s all good fun. So, what is your opinion about a BLIND DATE? Tell me,friends.

I had a wonderful blind date 6 years ago - the man I am in love with, we had met in Kansas and liked each other but had gone our seperate ways. I moved to NM and then to California. I went on a blind date which I really didn't even want to go on, and IT WAS HIM. I was so shocked, and was crying and screaming and hugging him and almost crushed him jumping on him! :) It'll be 6 years on Jan. 29th - I love you baby!

i don't know how it turns up.because i have never had a blind date in my life so far..i have a couple of internet friends whom I have never seen..but just to add to what u saying..i have heard of stories when people have met their life partners and soulmates through blind dates..and the thrill of unexpected pleasure makes blind dates always interesting..atleast thats what I think of it..

i would not go to a blind date unless i have no choice or am desperate because my perception of people who go into these kinds of dates cannot get a genuine date on their own

see now thats a misconception ppl have.. i too had until my friends forced me into one where i met a totally HOT guy who cud get any girl he wanted (till today i wonder y he wanted to go on a blind date when he can get any date..maybe for fun ?). so do try once atleast..even if it turns out to be horrible..atleast u'll have a story to tell your friends! :)

I have and they turned out horrible, but wouldn't meeting someone from the online internet thing also be a blind date, even more so than if you were being set up by a friend, since they have the ability to sent you photos that perhaps are outdated or not true to size and the ability to not really be themselves since they are on the computer, I have been on many of those

Blind date - Blind date
i've never been in blind date, but i found that blind date is interesting, even sometimes they can be good friends too.i think blind date is happens because some people dont have a self esteem to find a date, or maybe even because they feel they never found a perfect match for them and they tired of looking:)

Blind dates?! Sounds interesting but Im afraid to go also with a blind date and I never had experience for that. I was afraid what if The person your going to date is weird or something not good. And Why should I go for a blind date if u can get one in person. I dont think so a blind date can work or a good one for us..

Well, it doesnt matter if we want to take blind date as long we want to do it and we enjoy it lots coz for some people it can be for fun and some for searching soulmate or life partner. For me, i havent had any experience of it coz i already find my life partner :)

Its ok, why not? long ago my sister set me up a blind date, and he was a nice person, once in a while i see him but just as my sister's friend. Sometimes its a good way to meet nice people.

I have never been on a blind date and I have never really thought about either . Now I have no reason to because I found someone I want to spend the rest of my life with. But if I was single, the only way I would do it is if one of my friends knew the person and set it up.
