    Agggh!

    Okay, so a few years ago, my best friend at the time was totally obsessed with her boyfriend at the time. They had broken up, so she devised the perfect plan to get him to come out & hang out with her, and that plan was to hook me up with his best friend. I agreed to it because this is the kind of stuff you do for your best friend.

    Anyway, at first, I talked to him online and on the phone. When we went out, it was totally awkward. My friend kept telling me how hot he was, but he was totally the opposite!! I remember when I spoke to this guy, I told him that some guys who wear timbs look real sexy. So, this guy wore timbs that night. He had shaved his head, and he totally didn't have the head shape to have a shaved head. As with the way he dressed, it definitely needed help! He was wearing a denim shirt, with pretty tight jeans that were the same color as his denim shirt. Then he topped it off with timbs. He looked ridiculous, in my eyes.

    During dinner, we barely had anything to talk about. After dinner, we went to watch this one movie. He tried to get all touchy feely with me, and that totally freaked me out. We went to a cafe after the movie, but I was not feeling him, so I called up my friends and I just bounced. I don't think I even said bye to him.

    Well, it worked for my friend. Her boyfriend came out and they got back together. They completely ditched me... so it blew.

    -lol @ Shy's story.

    Mine's not that bad. I recall one specific blind date. The girl actually turned out cute, but we definately weren't each other's type. We both had lots of fun that night tho. So even though it didn't work out, I got a cool friend out of the deal which is great! We still chat every now and then.

    As long as the guy isn't trying to turn the blind date into a "relationship", then it'll probably be okay.

    i met this girl at a blind date and she was hot but we just didnt have that much in common but we remained friends; i think its best just to talk and not to try to hit on her too much cos u just end up looking like a letch...

    remember, hitting on a girl in a bar is way different to hitting on a girl in the street -- the mentality is just different

    I think blind dates are good to meet casual friends, but not gf/bf stuff. There's just too much pressure to hit things off with that random person.

    My mom was probably worried I might be gay, so she set up me up on this thing once. I was going to meet up with my mom and her friend for dimsum. Of course, her "friend" happened to be a Viet girl that was single and 2 years younger than me...My mom suddenly recalls that she had a doctor's appointment and has to leave, but we should stay and eat and then I can drive the girl home afterwards.

    It was a really really awkward lunch...she agreed to meet me but didn't know it was going to be a 1 on 1 meeting. And I was totally tricked into it. I thought I was going to a free lunch, but I ended up treating =(

    Obviously, she was a well-mannered, studious girl who cooks, cleans and helps out with the family business. I'd say she was average looking too...but average is just not good enough...I think I made a bad impression though, cause she never called me..lolol
