Blind Dating (34)
I went on a blind date and i liked her but she didnt like me, we had lunch and talked and her phone rang and she said she had another date in 30 min...we finished eating I payed and wished her the best of luck....I know you cant make someone like you if they don't..thats part of dating,I was a little upset, feeling bad and ugly, but I got over it...

misssuzyq: You're on a blind date it's going ok, but there is no connection and no attraction. All you're thinking is I just want to leave.
How long do you stay?
How do you get out of it?
Is it possible to just end the date without upsetting the other person?
Have you experienced this, what did you do?

It is better to be honest about how you are feeling than to lead the other person on. Wouldn't want him to think that I was more interested in him than I really was.
But, I also think that there is not always an instant connection between 2 people on a date. Just because there are not fireworks on the first date doesn't mean that there is no chance for you to have a fulfilling relationship with that person. In other words, it may not be love at first sight but the relationship potential may still be there.
Of course, if you are completely miserable on the first date you should leave, even if it is upsetting to the other person.

Good advice.. its true.. why is 'fireworks' necessary.?. friendship first. whats the rush?.. as long as he isn't a nasty individual or obviously completely unsuitable... no harm in giving a friendship a chance.. love (the best kind) may even blossom from that.. I think we are all watching too many rose-mantic movies people
... and possibly letting wonderful people go cause we want the sun moon and stars after one date

First of all.Welcome to the forums.
Yes,i have experienced this.Without going into details,i was friendly,and toughed it out.After spending a good part of an afternoon/evening,she asked me to stay for coffee,i declined.
So my advice to you is IF you are going into a blind date make sure it's LUNCH.Have a friend call you if you need to "GET AWAY',early.
"Something unexpected came up.Gotta go".

I ALSO believe that things don't click right away.Especially when people get set in their ways.
PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS and ALL THAT!
HECK.It's just a first date.
Things can be a little ackward when two strangers first meet.
If it's just to creepy,it just IS.If you get a phone call with a decent explanation,trust your instincts.

I agree. Don't give up too easily but don't stay in a situation that you shouldn't be in either.

froggy1: Reminds me of some blind dates that I've been on. And I have actually told the poor guy that I was going home early because it wasn't working out for me. And, who knows, it is likely that he was just as miserable as I was. And if your miserable, why not end the date early?
I just couldn't bare the site of her crying and having to LUG all here WORK belongings ..ALONE!

I guess that you just have to do what feels right to you. Every situation is different so there really isn't an easy answer.

You should start a thread called
"MERCY DATES"
and their hidden value.------ This thread is Archived ------
tufty: You mean they have to beg for mercy to escape?
Maybe it means that I need the mercy from God to get out of it!!
