So sorry, I remember those days. I did finally make one rule for myself~ Never wait an hour, if your time doesn't matter when making a first impression just think of how much it wouldn't matter in the future.

Wanted to add...after to many blind dates to count I decided to use an online dating site & I ended up marrying him so don't give up!

Well, I met dh from match.com, so it was kind of a blind date. I did have a bad blind date once. He was 22 but had a big old 70's porno mustache. My friend was over and she said something about watching Mr. Belvidere (if anyone remembers that show) because she was hinting that is what he reminded her of. Anyway, he was pretty lame-o. He offered me a massage at one point. No thanks. On the way home, I started to undo my seatbelt and unlock my door as we neared my house. He jokingly asked if I just wanted him to slow down so I could jump out. Almost!

My parents first date was a blind date. Still married 46 years later.

How did you get set up with him?

I met my DH through mutual friends. We had dinner at their house, and the moment he walked in I knew he was going to be my Husband!

I had a blind date last year; the guy showed up wearing rainbow suspenders AND a belt with his jeans. We were going horseback riding with a group from his church, and he presented me with a wrist corsage. He said, "I got this for you; I know women like flowers."

I wore the wrist corsage (with my t-shirt and jeans). The people from his church would ask me, "Special occasion?"...or "is it your birthday?". Ummm...no....the flowers are just because....

We got to the stables and were told which horse we would each be riding. I was petting mine on the nose, and he reached down and took a big bite out of the corsage. I took it off, telling my date I was afraid he'd eat the whole thing. I could have kissed that horse for giving me an excuse to take it off!

And yes, the guy called me three more times asking me out.

I'd rather be single and celibate the rest of my life.

Years ago, I let a friend and her boyfriend talk me into a blind date with a guy. This guy was only going to be in town for a few days, visiting his relative, who was a coworker of my friend's boyfriend. The longer they "talked him up" the more worried I became. He was a country and western singer who also rode in rodeos. Yada, yada. By the time they came to pick me up (double date) I had in my mind's eye a big old burly, handlebar mustache wearing, tobacco chewing, *^#%kicker who was going to good old boy me to death all night.

I forewarned my friend that SHE was to come to the door to get me, not my date. I wanted a report on him before I'd even get in that car. So she came in and said that he was actually nice looking.....better looking than her date. I told her she'd say whatever was necessary to get me in that car, wouldn't she? Eventually, I stomped out there, got in the back seat and I swear, I didn't even look his way for a good 5 minutes.

Finally, I decided to give him the once over. Sha-zam! He was GORGEOUS! Later, we both had a good laugh because it turned out, he had been dreading it just as much as I was, and he was pleasantly surprised too. We had a great evening. As I said, he was only in town a few days, so I never dated him again.

He had a minor hit song and was a one-hit wonder, never making the charts again. I have no idea what he's doing now.

redlight, here's hoping you meet the man of your dreams on your next date. For starters, I hope he's a bit early because he just can't wait to meet you.

Thank you Pakey.
