Blind dates

TheKennedyCurse [Edit] [Delete] 60 replies 14:46, 26 June '12

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.

                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?

          • 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.

              • 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.

      like even once? or bumping into her or anything

      cat_race @deadonthestairs | 26 Jun '12, 15:58 | X
      • 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.

  • 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?

    DaisyFlower | 26 Jun '12, 15:47 | X
    • 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

      TheKennedyCurse @DaisyFlower | 26 Jun '12, 15:48 | X
      • Urrrrrrrrrrrrrr Graham!

        DaisyFlower @TheKennedyCurse | 26 Jun '12, 15:52 | X
    • 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.

      Songs_about_ducking @DaisyFlower | 26 Jun '12, 15:51 | X
  • basically online d8ing

    Have never met anyone who was a jot like their profile/messages

    sexy_girl | 26 Jun '12, 16:18 | X
    • 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.

      Songs_about_ducking @sexy_girl | 26 Jun '12, 16:40 | X
      • I'd probably do that for shits and giggles

        just to see what reaction it got

        meowington @Songs_about_ducking | 26 Jun '12, 16:46 | X
        • go in a fake wheelchair?

          TheKennedyCurse @meowington | 26 Jun '12, 16:49 | X
          • 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.

            wilykit @TheKennedyCurse | 26 Jun '12, 16:55 | X
  • Yep, got set up by a friend.

    Ended up dating for over 4 years.
