Well on the only truly blind-date I went on, she chickened out at the very last minute. So I did see her, just the back of her as she walked away. :rolleyes:

if it was a blind date what makes you so sure it was her? she probably chickened out even earlier (not for any particular reason just the fact that blind dates are just plain wrong).Mortgage OP 2026 £860/2000Mortgage balance: £31,791

Because I was with a mate, and his gf had been with her during the afternoon (they were close friends), and I was picking them both up in the car.

ah well, in that case you aren't being paranoid! but maybe it was the situation rather than the sight of you that put her off.Mortgage OP 2026 £860/2000Mortgage balance: £31,791

my worry is that because they like me and like him THEY think we'd get on. I've got loads of friends who I love but can't say they all blend well together IYSWIM. They are nice to each other and civil when they meet but don't really get each other. I'm still kind of keen on someone else anyway.Mortgage OP 2026 £860/2000Mortgage balance: £31,791
