Okay so I basically got forced on to a blind date by my mom and one of my conspiratory friends...(I haven't dated yet nor do I care) and he never showed up....hmmm ANYWAY it got me wondering what do you guys think of blind dates and have you ever actually been on one (Not me I'm only 16 XP) anyway tell me what you think?

No, just no.

I don't want to date at all so I'm good as is.

That sucks that you were stood up. But at the same time, it's kind of good that you're apathetic towards dating at your age. I've been set up before, but I've always talked to the person first and/or saw their picture first. I wouldn't go on a completely blind date, unless it were a group thing. It could go either way, though, just as any date with someone you've just met. You either like them or you don't.

I've been bound to the love of my life since I was 14, so no, can't say I've done the blind date thing...As for what I think about it? As long as you kep your expectations low, and go more for the meeting of a potentioly new friend insted of say, l lay, then, it's fine!

Been set up on a blind date before, got there, the girl looked at me, and pretty much said "Hell no!" and left. Didnt bother me, since that showed me the type of girl she was, a bitch. Now, none of my friends try setting me up on blind dates since they dont know the type of girl that Im actually attracted to.

I don't like walking into any kind of situation unprepared so I would most likely react extremely aggressively, perhaps even violently, especially because no one has any idea the kind of men that I'm attracted to and even when I do find myself attracted to someone, there's a very slim possibility that I'll allow anything to come of it. I may be in a relationship now but we were friends first and I still retain my independence.

I've never been on a blind date, though my current boyfriend and I were sort of railroaded into our relationship by some of our friends. We both were wanting to go out, obviously, but it took the constant pushing of other people and the speculations of what it was we were up to before we decided to give it a go. I'm glad we did though. ^^

I personally wouldn't mind a blind date though, it's the chance to go for somebody that you may never consider before, and it may work out well. Although if I was going to go on a blind date I'd want someone that I knew very well to set it up, I mean there is a difference between going for someone that's not your usual type and going with someone who is a complete polar opposite to you in every way.

That sucks that your blind date didn't show, but at least it wasn'y someone you'd met who didn't show you know? It's no big deal though, your so young! I've never been on a date with anyone that I haven't at least talked to before, but if I weren't married, I'd go on a blind date (only in a public setting) it would be an experience if nothing else you know? Haha I think it'd be fun!

Absolutely not. It's the kind of thing that I just don't do, no matter what. It sounds so... Fake. Not really fake but more of a "ok let's see what we got in the raffle" fake. If that makes sense. It probably doesn't.

Still. No. I'd rather not. I wouldn't show up, probably.

I've never been on a blind date, nor would I ever want to.
All my ex's and my current boyfriend, I met in highschool, and were friends with before dating.
I like knowing people before any expectations may arise. Also wouldn't it be highly awkward, your sitting there having diner and you know nothing about the guy sitting across from you. I hate being unprepared, and when I am, I often come across as an introvert and almost cold. And thats not who I am.

Besides me and my boy have been dating for 2 1/2 years, and we both can see it lasting long-term.

I hate blind dates. They're always so awkward, and can end sooooo badly. Also, I have this real bad feeling when friends choose for me. It feels like I'm gambling.

I've never been on a blind date. But I hate the idea of having someone force me to go on a date with something that they have no idea if I'll like or not. Not to mention, if I were to go on a date, it would have to be with someone that I already know quite well and who has an interest in me.

Also in a way, I think that dating online is almost like a blind date. You really don't know the other person on the other side, and there are probably only a few people who actually do the whole webcam chat. And they could be just flat out lying to you and leading a different life than what you really think -3-

That sucks that he didn't show up, what a douche.

Anyway, I've never been on a blind date nor do I ever want to go on a blind date. Considering I'm 15 I haven't been on many dates, but I always like to know who's going to show up. I mean, if I'm not attracted to the chick that shows up, then the whole date is just....awkward.

Wow, that's deep. Haha.

Now that I think about it more, this would be way more awkward than I previously thought simply for the fact that I'm not a "let's go out on a date" kind of girl. I've never done the dinner and a movie bit with anyone other than friends or family. However, I might make an exception if said date were a concert that I wanted to go to.

When I was 16, my friend tried to set me up on a blind date. she gave up after i told her i hate the very idea of blind dates and that i would rather burn in the firey depths of hell...

Draciolus
I seriously feel for ya. And yes that girl was a bitch :)

Kya Katsumi
Those are extremely good points if nothing else. Cause I mean if I don't know the guy then I can't really feel bad about him not showing up especially since I don't even know who he is...When she said his name I honestly laughed cause it was just too rich! (His name is Rico =3)
:feesh: Ok bad joke I get it that's immediately what I thought though! And yes I realize this was extremely shallow of me. I do have to apologize.

NeuzaKC
Well since I'm not good with the raffles I probably won't wanna do this again. :feesh: ( Again I need to stop with the bad jokes; however, I am seriously unlucky :P
And I probably wouldn't have gone but I had to take her there so she could see her boyfriend. She can't drive yet she has her permit and yet...she's 17...-_-

Well you saying that makes me feel better about myself I would use the word asinine, however *Just because I never implement it into my vocabulary.* I know what you mean about the awkwardness guys cause I sat next to this guy during lunch last year so I could be close to one of my friends and he kept touching me like leg to leg and I was completely unhappy and I had no other friends at lunch...This and the way he and I were introduced made it soooooooo awkward....I was sitting on the other side of my lunch stool with half my butt hanging off...I hope I get a good lunch schedule this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:gonk: Oh yeah I'd wear a skirt one day or a dress and he would stare at my legs...I almost walked out of the lunch room...

Anyway did not expect this thread to be so...active would be the only word I can think of *Note to self: stop ending sentences with prepositions!!!!*

Ok so I went on one blind date and promised myself to never go on another. I was 15 and when I got there...well my date was like 30. I was like o my god!!! WHY. One of my good friends had set me up on this date so I made sure to pay her a little visit and put pics of some old man in a spedo all over her room. Then when she came in I told her it was her new husband and I hate promised him she would marry h. Hehe she looked like she was going to cry. (until I told her it was fake then she opened a can of whoopass) so yeah blind dates suck. ^^

I don't really like dates.

I joined a dating site (lol) when I first moved here to make new friends, and I found the concept of going on a date with a perfect stranger so odd, despite it being a dating site. That would be someone's initial message to you, "Hey, you're hot, let's get coffee!" I would just stare at my screen funny and say no.

I've never been on a blind date, don't like the idea behind doing something with someone you've never met before.

Do not want. If you want to date me, you get to know me. 8|

Never really been on a date *sigh*. Oh well, I'm only turning 20... Not too late ;)
Silly boys don't know a good thing when they see it.

Never been on a date in my life, and the single blind date I was set up with doesn't count mostly cuz it was back in 6th grade and I didn't even know. So, yeah. Honestly, I'll go on group blind dates but not alone. :\\

I hate getting stood up. He at least should have called you.

To the blind dates, no. Unless it's a mutual friend that I KNOW.
