How many of you had gone for a blind date like first meet on internet chat or phone chat and then planned for a meet. What was your experience of such dates. Put your comments here. Is meeting some one like this really makes friendship of such types of relations are only short term

I believe in blind dating like dating in internet chat, many of my boyfriend i meet just in the internet, i don't even seen their real face, until most them are in love with me and show their feeling through the net, some of them are short term and others long term, just i had experience, i met the boy in the net, when i playing some dating game, he is so in love to me, when he stated getting my friendster and yahoo mail, and he decided to come on my home, but i refuse it, then he try again when he invited me to come to his house to join in his birthday and i didn't come again, he always chat me so sweet every afternoon this is the time for me because he still studying as enginerring, but later i notice he has no time for me, he even not chat again and i comment to his friendster, to say i miss him and love him, and why he didn't chat , he always say thank you when i say something or greet him, he said he is busy, so now the communication are get loss, and i feel bad for losing him.

thanks for your response and this is the answer I am looking for. Meeting someone on blind date is not bad but proper safety should be assured especially for females

I've done this a few times and never ran into problems. Since most states won't allow a private individual to conduct a criminal background check, I always check newspapers, state SOR's and prison/prisoner informational sites, if I know their friends.. I ask their friends about them. I've never had a bad experience. Most relationships that I've gunned for that started that way were short lived, but I'm still very good friends with a couple of people. I just always go for the safe route, and not just for the first date or meeting either.
