Thread: My blind date experience.

Let me guys tell you about what happened a while back when a friend tried to hook me up with this one girl.

A friend of mine set me up on a blind date with this girl a while back. The girl was a friend of his and had never met me nor did she have prior knowledge of what i looked like, nor did i have any prior knowledge of her. We were set up to meet at a mid-tier restaurant. The date was actually going to be a "double date", Me my friend, his girlfriend, and the girl they wanted to hook me up with. She was the last to arrive and when she came up to us i said "hey"...she looked at me then whispered something to the girl who she was apparently also friends with. They whispered back and forth then went to the bathroom together. They came out a few minutes later, my friends girlfriend returned to the table but the girl they wanted to hook me up with did not. My friends girlfriend told me that "Im not her type". But logically speaking that can ONLY translate to "she thinks you are unattractive". She knew NOTHING about me and the ONLY thing she heard out of my mouth was "hey". I was very nicely dressed, clean shaven, well groomed, etc. And this was back when i had short hair.

Also this girl was not good looking at all. She was a 4 out of 10 at best....at least 50lbs overweight, severe acne scarring, extreme overbite.

Sometimes I get caught in that trap of feeling that every single person should be attracted to me, but fact of the matter is that is just patently unrealistic.

Who gives a fuck if she found you unattractive.

She was ugly.

You completely missed the point bro.

Yes she was but I have almost no standards.

what was the point? What I gathered is that you are pissed because she did not find you attractive even though you felt you looked nice that night

Double dates rarely work out because your friend's girlfriend is scouring her single friends for someone (but can wind up causing arguments between friends).

Blind dates are tough unless the girl or your friend have a keen sense of what types attract each other. Some people can spot two strangers in a room at a house party and position them with the things they know about each other, or they wind up finding each other... sometimes they need someone to kickstart the conversation.

The 'he's single/she's single, let's hook them up' fails because there's nothing to talk about, not much attraction. It's pulling favors.

Women love playing matchmaker... usually self-serving.

Thinking that "you're not my type" equals "unattractive"... maybe she thinks like that, but that doesn't mean everyone thinks like that. I think she was resistant to going, and found an excuse to leave.

I would've said to your friend's gf "Thanks for trying, but don't you think that was rude towards you to just walk in, size a friend up and down in 5 seconds, then bail? If that's how she is, no offense, but thank God she left." Odds are likely she's hooking up online.
