Someone once said “ All first dates are blind”.

But it has to start somewhere and some time.

Yes it is possible. I’m not saying that it always works out – I’m saying that it is possible.

Even in here, where people private message each other and flirt to a blue death and get to know each other down to their blood group, have that sense of trepidation when meeting for the first time. After all, just because you like someone’s profile it doesn’t mean that you will like him or her in real life (and vice versa).

Hmmm, makes me sound like a pissed-in wet blanket....

Anyway. Good luck if you're in for a blind date.

Blind dates are great; it also helps if they have no sense of smell.

and seriously, to Nadir: if we didn't believe in that, we wouldn't be here, would we?...wink

I've done blind dates couple times. I didn't fall in love but I had a nice time (and I am still in touch with those guys, as friends). it's a matter of being open to people and relaxed with new acquaintances. I guess the more sociable you generally are, the easiest it is to have fun on a blind date cheers

and I agree with KT that somehow "all first dates are blind" and "it has to start somewhere and some time"

Hi Mar,

Nice to see you around hug

Blind dates for me are a BIG no no!! As IF!! I dont like unpleasant surprises...giving them and receiving them I mean!!

I met guys that I liked on the photo and discovered that the picture must have been taken some years ago...and lets say that they didnt age gracefully!! True there is always the risk even if you like their profile, meeting up is a totally different story...let alone NOT having an idea who it is...uh oh scary!!

I've met several people (via the internet) just as friends and wasn't disappointed, but met one romantically and was - mind you I did marry one of the friends I met! Does that make sense? Confused? No? I am! lol

I really must put up a pic of me looking as old and haggard as possible so people will think 'Wow - he looks so much younger than his pic in real life!' :)

Arrange a Malta social and sneak a look at the person you might fancy without putting yourself in an embarrassing situation?

i would go on a blind date if i new that i had things in common with the guy from his profile or from the friend that is setting it up, yes ok you might not find that person attractive but as long as you have a laugh and stuff to talk about the date wouldnt be wasted and maybe you would make a good friend out of the date.

lisajane - friendship is what we should all seek.......anything more than friendship is a wonderful bonus, but to expect romance is really rather foolish - and you could make an enemy instead of a friend!

No I never said I want to meet a man on CS...I said im seeking friends!! However if you refer to the bit where I described my match, when I meet people on a dating site, I usually take my time in getting to know them FIRST through MSN, see if his conversations are stimulating enough, how many things in common we have, if I like his character as exposed through chatting....if all this goes well, plus I like his pics (have to see more than 1), then a meeting is arranged, generally in a public place....not so difficult is it, but that won't be what I call a BLIND date!!
