Blind dates
anyone here been on any? How'd they go?
If not why? I'm not sure I would personally unless it was a double date thingy, I can just imagine being right awkward. I don't make very good first impressions.

Fuck me
I bet he thinks hes the fucking bomb aswell.
Loved her outfit – good layers
I'll let her know.
Well I probably won't actually as I'm not sure how kosher putting this article on forum is. Although it was on the internet anyway, right?
just tell her
i've found her on facebook now anyway
:D
Link pls.
you lazy little shit
her name is right there in the article
I haven't thought this through.
No results for that name on FB.
Maybe Rita Platts Googles her name? Oh, Rita Platts.
Too far?
I'll PM TheOGB.
i looked and i found her straight away she is friends with wilykit and ms wilykit
If she ends up somehow with a picture of your old chap then there'll be words.
he's not THAT old
old enough.
you realise i don't just constantly send pictures of my dick to everyone i encounter?
just the special ones
You're battering him on the neck front.
I don't think my neck is that long, must be photoshopped.
My face isn't that red either, my idiot housemates were behind the photographer doing wanker gestures at his head.
Why did you take your friends to a photoshoot?
My friends are idiots lol
The photographer comes to your house. I did not know this before applying.
Actually, one of my friends genuinely IS an idiot. In the paper it looked like this: http://i.imgur.com/3EHWW.jpg and he said "she's really tall!" and asked why we didn't put our arms round each other or anything on the photo.
Classic.
haha, was it moousee that said that?
*checks over for signs of racism*
Nope, wasn't him.
HAHAHAHA
Is that why you're so tall
Part Brachiosaurus?
Don't think I haven't seen this.
:D
1458!!!!!!!#
Sorry.
1258, lest we forget
ironic caption. i hope the sub editor felt like a twat
I've asked them at least 3 times to remove my surname, the bellends.
did you ever see her again after the date?
like even once? or bumping into her or anything
Loads of times, actually.
Saw her at SFTOC, and drunkenly shouted SOPHIE!! at her. Saw her at the Cornerhouse, outside my office, at that NQ street party thing.
I think she might be stalking me.
mint
Yeah sure, if you're offering
Carpe diem!
How unseen does a date have to be to count as blind?
Is it if you've never met? So does meeting someone you've talked to online count? Or is it only if you're set up by someone knowing very little about them?
any of the above
as long as you do an impression of Our Graham at the end summing up the thoughts with a hilarious one liner
Urrrrrrrrrrrrrr Graham!
I think a blind date has generic conventions
So a mutual friend of a friend, who you've never met, spoken to and probably had never heard of.
basically online d8ing
Have never met anyone who was a jot like their profile/messages
No
but I'm meeting for a second date tonight with a medic who is INFINITELY better than her profile. Also, I have a friend who met up with a girl who was in a wheelchair (and she hadn't mentioned it), and without getting ricky gervais all over your arse, I'd be pretty pissed off if I wasnt told beforehand.
I'd probably do that for shits and giggles
just to see what reaction it got
go in a fake wheelchair?
fake needing a wheelchair*
Although a home made fake wheelchair where you're actually using your feet would be more amusing than faking a disability and using a proper wheelchair. But only very slightly.
Yep, got set up by a friend.
Ended up dating for over 4 years.
