Blind Dates

Has anyone ever been on a blind date? If so what was it like? Was it awful or was it the best blind date you've ever been on? Share your stories I'd love to hear them no matter how good or bad. I know that I've been fixed up on a blind date many times. There is a reason they call it a a blind date. You don't know what your getting. What always amazes me about a blind date is how high the person that sets you up with someone else builds them up. You start to think ok maybe this will work. So you meet say at a coffee house, supermarket or restaurant. When you meet her or him depends on your sex you may go out to dinner and a movie or out for coffee. The blind dates I've been on most of them I spend most of the night asking about them because I don't like to talk alot about myself on a date. I usually give a woman about 2 to 3 dates to try and get comfortable around me. I don't care if she necessarily talks alot. I would though like it if she cared enough about me to ask me a few questions about me or what I like. I remember one time a pretty woman set me up on a date because she couldn't go out to dinner with me. Let me just say it was awful. I don't want to be rude and say she was ugly looking but she was. I gave her a shot though and it was horrible. She was not only ugly on the outside but she was ugly inside too. I wouldn't have mind if she was ugly a bit if she would have had a decent personality but she had a nasty attitude. I didn't particularly care for it. She was very interested in me and wanted a romantic relationship with her and I had to tell her I wasn't into her that way. Before I did that though I did everything rude to try and get her to get the point I wasn't into her. I would bury my face in a newspaper and everything. It was not easy trying to let someone down. I also remember another blind date I had. This one was really weird though because a girl I was dating in high school was trying to get me to hang out with her friend and was cool if I went out with her. After me and the first girl was dating broke up and by the way she was hot. I went and checked out this other girl. I went to her house and it was horrible. This girl was really ugly and smelled awful. She smelled like pig farmer and didn't bathe. It led me to think something about the first girl I was dating. You were pretty and then you go and fix me up with someone who was ugly, smelled awful, was boring. I was mad and its to this day while I dread the blind date. I did do some blind dates afterwards though. There was one blind date I actually had that wasn't too bad. One problem with it though was I was just coming out of a breakup. She was the best blind date though I had ever been on. I was actually starting to like this girl but I felt guilty though. I was having problem getting over an ex girlfriend who I was engaged to. The good thing was when I was with this girl on a blind date I didn't think about my ex. When I was away I started having thoughts about my ex fiancee again. I was scared though to pursue a relationship with this girl I was dating so i played it casual. I now can't get her to talk to me to this day and I don't even know what I did wrong. I finally got the courage to say if she doesn't want to be with me then forget her. I also had someone try to fix me up with her friend only to find out how controlling she is. I can't stand controlling manipulative women who thinks its ok to act this way. I don't expect no woman to be perfect because Lord knows I'm not perfect. I do expect her to be decent and respectful towards me and not try to control me. So if you have a blind date experience you'd like to share then send me your comments or opinions about this post.
