Going on a blind date is risky business. For several reasons.
For one, it means you have officially reached rock bottom. You are now a charity case that is incapable of attracting a date by yourself.
Now you need help.
And you are getting it from all angles whether solicited or not. Everybody has somebody that nobody wants. And they somehow think that YOU would want that person. I guess maybe that’s because they figure that just like that somebody who nobody else wants, you are in fact somebody else that nobody wants… and why wouldn’t two unwanted people want each other? Makes sense, doesn’t it? You have truly reached rock bottom…

For two, the blind date that you are hooked up with can be very damaging to your self image. But…

The ultimate and profound low point is when… you… join… a… dating service. That is just inexcusable. For the two reasons above and for the additional reasons that now even your friends have given up on you and at this point you have also given up on yourself.

Now you need PROFESSIONAL help.

I agree with this writer's view. Going on blind date is the worse thing/decision a single person can make. And for those who have gone on blind dates it will really be appreciated if you give your experience for others to learn from.

If you've truly hit rock bottom, isn't it smarter to admit that and do whatever is necessary to get what you want?

Seun i wouldn't do that if i am in such a dire situation.  The smart thing to do is to wait on God and not admit defeat by going to such a bizzare adventure. Or is there anyother worse/better name for that?

If you don't admit defeat, what do you gain? Nothing. Admitting defeat is a sign of humility and honesty!!

Well i've not considered it cos i think i'm doing just fine with my eyes open lol

well i've never liked the idea, but then there are lots of blind dates, some can be set up by the family members that think the two people are compartible and some do lead to "something" so?

well every man with his own right??, so who am i to condemn blind dates lol

I can't go on a blind date becos am gonna complain the all time, am gonna look for fault and negative things about him and his body. I have a very high taste when it comes to guys , i just don't date anyone.

Women like me have high expectation that all

ma friends call me bug eye, da bug eyes nobi 2 close n wait 4 date, na 2 open like larm and search 4 date

@topic,

not worth it, makes u look desperate and end up getting disappointed.

i went on a blind date one valentines days, me and my friend were feeling sorry for ourselves and agreed to go out with these two guys, what a joke it was. we were still young and naive

Sisimose you can give us a brief detail of what happend on that day. I have a friend who is in such a situation right now, and she has even given up on herself. I have given her all the advice that i can ever think of but she is bent on going on blind date via online dating service. I actually need the comments and experiences of people either negative or positive, for her to know the pros and cons of this game.

So, once again your comment will be greatly appreicated.

Blind date! yeah i have once and it was good too to be true. the girl was something else. kindda homely and respectful. at the end, i never wanted to leave. how stupid of me.

Going on a blind date does not equal desperation. I have met people whom if they know you are single might think you would get along well with a friend of theirs so they set you up on a date. Or you may have moved to a new city and while finding it hard to make friends you could be set up on a date. Besides all you internet daters all have gone on blind dates because even if you see picture, that might not be that person who you might see when you finally decide to meet. Besides when you are dating what's better than meeting a stranger for the first time and getting to know them?
