Blind dates?

United States
December 5, 2007 2:11am CST
My friend wants me to set her up with my hubby's best friend. I know for a fact that she is not his type. But first of all I have to say that I do love both of them. They are both great people but both would have nothing in common. Now, I thought about it and asked my hubby and he bluntly said NO. I know I can butter up my hubby to do it but should I? What do you guys think about blind dates? Do you guys think I should set them up?

well just try it for once! i mean at least they can see for themselves if they have chemistry even if you said that "she in not his type!" Sometimes people end up with someone who isnt thier type at all. Maybe you could suggest a friendly blind date so as your friend wouldnt expect too much! ^-^

Yeah, I was considering doing that too. My hubby said he would ask for me if I really want to. I want to do it because she wants me to and I don't want to because what if it didn't work out then she and him will act differently around me and my hubby...

Hmm, a guy who has too much going on. His a wild guy so to speak. Enough gals to dance around him. And I am not kidding too...

LOL, I guess not huh. So, your implying that girls don't like geeks or nerds? Well, some do you know and what we believe is that she is much more fitted with guys in that category better than with wild out going types. Thanks for your comment......

the devil - sly devil!
I think it would be fun, just do it like double date style! They might not have anything in common, but you know the old saying goes... Oppisites Attract! It might not work out for a relationship, but it might be a fun night out for you all. EVEN your hubby!! Maybe you will have to be SNEAKY about it, and call it a GET TOGETHER, where you are going out with your girlfriend, and he's going out with his guy friend, but you're all going out together! lol. Oh us women :P

lol why dont you all go out as FRIENDS. Classifying it as a date puts the pressure on the both of them. That way if its just a friends thing..it gives them time to talk, get to know eachother and then see if theres a possible connection. If its a date right off the bat they may feel awkward cuase they feel as if there is pressure for them to find a spark or connection.

Yeah, I am going to set up a party day not date and see how it goes this coming weekend. I hope they will at least become friends or if not just have a decent conversation so that it won't be too awkward.......

Hallo Friend, I think it would not be a blind date because your friend has already seen your hubby's best friend and is already interested in him but it is blind to the man if he hasn't seen the lady. Ok now can your hubby explain the reason why he is saying no to the match making? Another thing, i think you should invite the two people into your house without telling them what to expect, just a friendly invitation maybe for dinner, talk general talk, introduce them to each other not as prospective mates but as your friends. After two or three meetings between the four of you then you can set your hubby to ask his friend what he feels about your friend. If the man says he likes her then you can arrange for another get together like maybe a picnic, then leave them alone and from there now they are grown ups, if they feel for each other then the better. But dont innitiate anything between them. Let them fall for each other on their own without you playing agent so that if anything happens between them they wont blame any of you. Make sure you do not jeopardise your friendship in the process.

Hi there friend, my hubby don't want to because he knows that his friend is into some other type of girls. He is very outgoing and wants someone who does things he likes like going dancing, parties and what not and my friend on the other hand likes to stay in doors watch a good DVD or something like that. Yeah I might just do that. Just have to find time to clean up the house and make a decent dinner fit for a party. I usually just clean up dishes and what not and cook a simple meal. So, now I have to get down and dirty and clean up all the toys and stuff around the house....

LOL...actually he don't like it but his being nice and going along with my idea.....Sometimes I don't like what he suggest and I go along with it too. I guess that is what works for us....we are going to see if it will work out or not we are having a dinner date at our house on Sat so hopefully it will be okay....

You're not wasting his time. People love eachother differently. Love isn't a one-size-fits-all with people. If you love him, but aren't in love with him, this is all the more reason to continue to stay with him, and even to tell him that you do love him. Being in love with someone doesn't normally last forever, the excitement goes away eventually, but it doesn't mean that you stop loving them. If you love him, tell him, it's okay to do so. His love for you will also be different and be conveyed to you differently from the way you feel and convey it to him. I love my husband differently from the way he loves me. This is so with everyone. It is not a one-size-fits-all. It's whatever works for a couple. Do what comes naturally and the rest will fall into place. Good luck to you and your man. Cheers.

Hehe, dear I believe you got it wrong. I love my hubby. It's about my girlfriend wanting me to set her up with my husband's buddy. As for me and my hubby, yes I agree with you we love each other differently and at different levels. He loves me more than I do him, but I do love him unlike any other man on earth. Thank you for your response...
