[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Blind date anyone? (Page 1 of 4)

So after multiple attempts at failing at finding a gal of my own my mom and her hairdresser have concocted a plan to set me up with this cute teacher that they know. My mom showed her a pic off my Facebook and the gal gave her her number to give to me. Anyway at age 37 I've never been on a blind date before, any tips for a blind dating rookie before I call her?
Update: We met for lunch. She is super cute, short, smart, funny, and at about the same place in life as I am. She just bought a place that is literally a few blocks from the forclosure that I am buying. We made plans for tomorrow... she wants to go to the sportsmans show with me. TL;DR - It did not suck. |

Technically, my wife was a blind date. Mutual friend set us up. Anything is worth a try, go for it! Oh I am. I'm pretty sick of internet dating and picking up bar chicks. It can't be any worse than that. Just not sure if I should roll with a standard type 1 dinner date or do something fun like ice skating/snow shoeing etc. |

Yeah. We went on a double date with the couple who set us up. She was mean and was putting everything and every one down, but I overlooked it and gave her a chance. Dated her a few more times and she started getting nasty (called me a pussy) and abusive with me (I tried to hold her in an affectionate way and she and she slugged me in the stomach) so I dumped her. |

First of all, you never let on how much you like a girl. "Oh, Debbie. Hi." Two, you always call the shots. "Kiss me. You won't regret it." Now three, act like wherever you are, that's the place to be. "Isn't this great?" Four, when ordering food, you find out what she wants, then order for the both of you. It's a classy move. "Now, the lady will have the linguini and white clam sauce, and a Coke with no ice." And five, now this is the most important. When it comes down to making out, whenever possible, put on side one of Led Zeppelin IV. |

Take her bowling and then out to eat. Fun and gives you time to try and get to know her. After a while casually bring up some stuff to see which way she leans politically. If she proves to be a psycho liberal (big chance since she is a teacher) then you can always pull the not feeling well and skip eating to save some cash.
Then tell mom and hairdresser to be much more careful in their screening process. |

But she sounds so nice

I would have pissed on her for less than that. Maybe she was right. |

Take her to lunch first. That way if she's a psycho you have very little invested. Lunch can be expensive. Coffee instead. That should run less than $5. Maybe we should just go to a McDonalds playland and I can bring a couple of bottled waters and a can of Pringles |

Pictures of mom no I'm almost 38, do the math my math says 38 + 19 (mom's age when you were born) = 57 = Dana Delany = MILF/GILF 
To add soothing not as cool as my math skills to the thread. I have gone on several blind dates. There were all good and I can't complain. Worst thing that happens is that the girl they set you up with is not a looker. Oh well, maybe you can see her inner beauty too. |

Come by Antonio's, I'll buy you a drink and you can run me home. Yeah, another one of those guys stuck in that eleventh grade, too-cool-for-school, Tom Lykis schtick. Can you believe he ordered me a Coke without ice to go with linguini and clam sauce? Fuck no, I didn't. The spinach lasagna and house red. You rolling? Cool. I already paid mine and sent him down the road. In the bar. See you in ten. Thanks, hon." |

Pretty much anything would be an improvement over the shit they generally preach here. |

If you're that route, go find a park bench - preferably one you don't have to push the homeless sleeper off of and delouse before sitting on it.
