I've gone on one blind date.
It was horrible. He was some
stock broker man and he asked
me to give him head.
I was so offended.
Gehhh how awful!!!
I went on a blind date ONCE... my senior year of high school. A girl I befriended set me up with a 'friend of hers.'
Let's see... he took me to Walmart first, to buy his ex-girlfriend a valentine's gift. (Come to find out his ex was the girl who set us up!!)
Then he proceeded to criticize my body and say things like, "I guess your stomach is flat
enough."
THEN we went to his house to watch tv, where he asked me every so often to have sex with him.
I had just enough self esteem to deny him that. I still shudder at the thought! I should have called for a ride home after the whole Walmart creepiness.
And then a few years after that, he ended up getting hired at the place where I was working.
He kept saying, "I know you from somewhere, what is your name??" And I managed to avoid him for a few months before he figured it out. Oddly enough, we ended up getting along well at work, considering!
But um.. yeah Wyst, don't let my horror story sour the prospect of meeting someone cool...
Just don't feel pressured to like this person.. If you feel something--then good. If you end up not having chemistry--that's ok too.
But
If I knew two people and I thought they would hit it off--I would not even mention one to the other.. But I would throw a little dinner party or maybe go to some sort of a free event and invite them both. Then let things just happen naturally.
