For the Uninitiated: A blind date is a date between two people who have never met and typically know little or nothing about each other. They are generally arranged by a third party, usually a friend of one or both daters, either to bring together people the third party thinks might be compatible, but who might otherwise never meet or because one or both of the daters has specifically expressed an interest in a blind date. Alternatively the match may have been made by a dating system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_dateLaide, why don't you also offer us your blind date experience?  |

I had spoken to the guy on the phone for a few weeks. He sounded nice so we decided to meet....in a public place....close to public transportation in case I needed a quick escape. All I can say is, thank God for quick escapes. It was a terrible meeting. Never again.  |

lol @ vexxy..thats the thing about blind dates..it either goes absolutely splendid or its just so horrid u can't wait for it to be over...
i once went on a blind date and found out the dude was like 5ft 5 :oand am like 6ft 1 ....
yeah so it was just so akward...to him i probably was big foot and he probably thought i was thinkin..'oh no not a dwarf'..and then he tot it'd be fun telling me about the history of chess and actually bringing a chess board along...how boring!!!!
thats the problem with blind dates ur always wondering what the other person is thinkin..disturbing yourself with questions like 'am i what he expected,urggh i tot he was cuter...oh my what if he can't wait to leave'....its just a hectic ordeal....sumtimes it actually is fun....
let it be known: cute voice duznt necessarily mean 'cute face'

"let it be known: cute voice duznt necessarily mean 'cute face'" Amen to that, lade o!This guy told me what he looked like and was the complete opposite. He even wanted a kiss!  I did have another date with a guy that I was set up with. He ended up to be 6'6" and I am 5'0" so you can imagine how we looked. We dated for a few weeks but I broke it off. I got tired of people thinking I was his little sister.

What a jerk!  How can he blatantly ask you something like that?? What kind of woman does he take you for? Guys can be so insensitive. I'm sorry that you liked him and he ended up to act like that. But dating, blind or not is always full of interesting people! LOL! |

Blind date is somehow okay but I must tell you this "SHINE UR EYES".
There is this lady I met online and we always contact each other and she promised to come to NIja but along the way I don't know what happened to her. She told me she want us to marry, have kids. That's after enough calls and sending of pix to her and she sending things to down here but I never asked her for anything (gift).
Suddenly she told me that she can't come to Nija except I want to come over... so it ended like that.
I really enjoy that period

It depends on who u are really.
Ok here is my story. Got hooked up on a blind date from a radio show, prolly on Rythm can't really remember. She called me on da phone and did'nt really say anything 'because she did know where to start from. Then hanged up... so I'd to call her back and from there we started. She could call me about 4 -7 times a day. I was going crazy too... (I fall in love easily - my f*cking weakness).
Now we'd been talking for about 4 days and all she could talk about is she wanted to see me. Damn right! We fixed a date to meet at an eatery. Funniest part was I was broke. Just spent lotta money on a contract I was working on then. So I came earlier... and was almost embarrased waiting for someone I'd never seen. I'd told her on d phone how I looked + plus my afro hair and all.
I kept waiting and every girl that came through looked like it was she. Then finally she came in with a friend. The next thing I noticed was she mistakenly asked a smart guy on the next sit if he was me. Then the guy said yes. But she was'nt sure 'because the guy ain't got an Afro. Then the next thing she did was to flash my numb. And so me trying to pick up da phone.
So she moved to my sit with lotta laughs and that. She was quite interesting but was'nt really my type of girl. But I got her on some tight rappot. Then asked her to buy the drink 'because she was the one who invited me ('scope - I was broke just forming - the car keys mean nothing- ). She got the drinks and stuffs we eat and was happy. She was really happy to meet me. But I had to tel lher my mind... in a gentle way. Like - I have a girlfriend ~ though we ain't really serious. But she should understand that first 'because I did'nt want to hurt no body and she told me no problem.
And she kept calling... I return her calls too. Then she asked us to meet some other time. She went straight to the point like - she did'nt want to loose me. Though she knows its almost stupid at times when a girl makes the moves first. But she gotta ask me out before its too late.
Now we're still cool. I begin to have more interest in her than my redudant girlfirend. A good blind date. Just finished talking to her. The only problem we have is she's about 1hr drive away from where I leave.

i was introduced to this guy by a friend, his voice was great over the phone he called himself a lawyer and stuff and i was already hungry to see him , i asked my friend if he was the type of guy she could get with and she said YES so i trusted her judgement and was already giving this guy GREEN LIGHT.
On the day we were to meet i dressed to KILL, he said he will be at mine by 5 pm. He wasn't a minute late i really acted on my friends words i was already in love , his car drove into my street , his car was beautiful, tinted i couldnt see him so i had to walk up to him i was already shaking because i was looking good and i knew he could see me but i couldnt see him
On entering the car like a normal lady i was already sitting down sideways before i turned to look at him , the first thought that came to my mind , this must be his father , it can't be the same guy i said to myslef , he was so ugly i couldn't stand him for another minute , we were supposed to go out that night but i made up an excuse , i still talk to the guy but not on relationship terms just wasup , how you doing . i thank God i met him because he has done alot for me not financially or sexually but in other aspects i can't mention. but one thing i never tell my friend to introduce me to any guy she takes it as a joke and plays with my heart while i am serious

@blacknbold that is one really funny experience. can't believe ur friend would have don that to u though. blind date works for some and doesnt work for others. have a friend that met her guy on hi5 and they've been together for 2 and a half years now. can't really judge but i'd be carefully doing anything i can't see.

What an Interesting thread. Actually 8 girls i dated since last year September till date are all BLIND Dates. Some from dating sites and some from chat rooms. Maybe I should say am lucky getting pretty girls for blind dates. They are all pretty and I find them interesting. Just once upon a time i met this gorilla looking chic (not lucky this time) and I was like, wooow. are u the one ? And when she open her mouth to speak, i simply looked for the next exit door out of the eatery and zoomed off pretending i was going to get a recharge card. Gosh, blind dates are sometimes interesting and sometimes not. The ones i met and liked were simply beautiful and I also look good as well so they also find me interesting (fine boi), so we get along well and end up in the bedroom on our next meeting. too much trips on the work, lol.
