I have been on a blind date once. Way back. He phoned, looking for someone that did not live at my place. We got to talking. Sounded really nice, was polite, charming etc. So we set the date for a Saturday evening. Me, I am fairly straight laced, (we are talking in the 70's)so I wasn't into rockers or hippies. He knocked on the door. I opened it. OMG, long light brown hair down past his shoulders. Blue tinted round glasses, a moustache, and to top it all off, a maroon velvet (like) jacket. The rest of his attire was the usual stuff. His shoes had higher heels than mine. We went on our date. We actually walked around in public. Oh well, I did have a good time, but that was the one and only date we had. Would I go on a blind date now. NO!

cherrybrandy: more bars then? but the hangover? guess,it should be well organized here,prob.bigger cities hope,you dont mind me asking,but how do you find the dating scene in a foreign country?asking because i am a foreigner here.
The dating scene is hard here for me, but that is because of where I live, just outside a small village, I guess if I lived closer to the coast it would be better, as more poeple,
I dont think it would have to be in a big city, just somewhere easily accesable,

FeketeDiva: I've never had a blind date but maybe I should try that in the future; seeing what your date looks like beforehand doesn't guaranteee anything!
Well-meaning friends (or perhaps NOT) always think they know someone you would 'click' with. I have been on two blind dates, each time the friends who had orchestrated it were so far off base it was unbelievable. I actually thought that one woman had deliberately set me up to be humiliated--the "date" was about as smart as a dried turd. Other people in the restaurant were openly laughing at her. Needless to say I will NOT go on any date again unless I have met the person face to face and can be reasonably sure they can carry themselves passably. Honestly--you would have had to have been there, it was quite possibly the most embarrassing evenings I ever, ever had in my life. Blind-dates = dumbschit crappola. Don't do it.
