Going on a blind date

NooOOOooOOoooOo
Don't complain! Never complain! You might want to hit it and quit it at a later point in time?
What you can do is :
1. Spill the food all over you, act totally embarrassed and excuse yourself to go home and get changed as you cant be seen like that in public.
2. Take some red makeup for your cheeks and skin and pretend to have an allergic reaction.
3. Take some coke and mentos and when she aint looking take a swig of coke then put the mentos in your mouth and foam all over you and her and then pretend to pass out or run out of the restaront.

....and I've been to a great many fine Italian restaurants and have never been served crappy overpriced pasta.
You already complaining before the date says much about how wonderful you are.
Do yourself, your date and your mate a favour and email them a link to this thread and show them your 'honesty' and give them an opportunity to reply.0 -
Theres a 99% chance this date will be terrible. I'd suggest backing out. Nothing good ever came out of a girl described by another girl as 'really nice'.
Just out of curiousity when it comes to physical appearance what do you look for in a girl?0 -
I think people who know me would agree with how accurate i was with my good/bad points lol. Right enough though if i dont like her i could just complain at my loathing for crappy over priced pasta and having to dress up just to eat said pasta in order to escapeProud member of the wokerati, though I don't eat tofu.Home is where my books are.Solar PV 5.2kWp system, SE facing, >1% shading, installed March 2019.Mortgage free July 20230

Basically i've agreed to go on a blind date after some heavy persuasion from my friend. She has set me up with 1 of her friends who she thinks i'll get on really well with. All i know about the person the date is with is 'she's really nice' that has already set the alarm bells ringing for me :eek: whats worse is the date is at an italian restaurant. I like italian food but a restaurant is not my ideal location. I'd much prefer something like bowling or ice skating. Something fun, not boring like a restaurant.
My good/bad points;- I'm great at talking, even with people i dont know
- I'm very confident
- I like to think i'm funny
- I'm good at showing empathy
- 99% of the time i have a positive attitude
- When i get bored i'm easily distracted
- I dont like formal settings
- I dont like dressing up and being someone i'm not
- I dont like my haircut at the moment
- I sometimes act before i think and say the wrong things
!!!!!! I thought my wife could overthink things.
Its a date not a proposal. MTFU stop analysing and get on with it.0 -
I'd hate a blind date at a restaurant, I'd much prefer a pub for a drink. A whole dinner is quite a commitment, always go for a drink for a first date I reckon. That way if it's not going well, it's a shorter time to hold out, plus you can still get !!!!ed.0

Any woman who puts out on the first date is not worth it. I've decided to go now. I found out who she is and checked her out on facebook. She's fit

So you're telling me i should be looking to date someone who does put out on the first date? That might be your style, but i dont want someone who is that easy :rotfl:
Unlike you, i have standards lol.
What does it matter to you if anybody puts out on the first date? And if she was, you would be too and therefore you're in the same boat!
Don't be an idiot.0 -
I wouldn't on a first date, never have and never will. How are you supposed to respect someone if they have no self respect? Shagging someone you've only met once is easy access to the clap my friend.
How do you know somebody has no self respect for themselves? That is something you cannot tell just because they've slept with somebody on the first date.
Sleeping with somebody on the first date makes you no more likely to catch something than on the 10th date, as long as safe sex is practised correctly.0
