The wo...I've only been on a couple blind dates. The worst was when I was in high school a much older cousin set me up with a high school senior who was interning at her office. He showed up for the date and promptly asked me where my dad worked and what kind of car he drove - obviously wanted to assess my family's financial situation. <br /><br />We made awkward conversation and then he asked me to his prom! I was so startled that I said yes, and then immediately regretted it. He called me a few more times and visited me once and started acting really snobbish so I told him I wasn't interested in going to his prom with him after all. <br /><br />He went to the prom alone and a few weeks later showed up at a family party looking for me (I wasn't there). Moral of the story: don't let relatives set you up!!!

I thought what the heck and went for it.<br /><br />The guy shows up and the first thing he tells me, even before hello nice to meet you, is he has no money... will I buy him a drink? It just got more awkward from there when I was trying to make conversation with him, he told me I talked too much. After sitting in silence for a few minutes he offered to show me his "art"- Anime-style drawings of nekkid Japanese school girls in compromising positions.<br /><br />Finally I went to the bathroom and called my BFF to pick me up. The next time I saw my friend he told me his classmate really liked me and had a good time. Needless to say there was no second date!Blondiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05218442306595329194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335781471218233480.post-32681049455653753612013-06-26T14:42:12.465-04:002013-06-26T14:42:12.465-04:00I've been on a blind date AND done the online ...I've been on a blind date AND done the online dating thing and I would have to say they are not TOO different. The best thing about a blind date is you tend to have someone in common that suggested you two should get together, whereas in online dating it's nice to have a bit more dialogue before the meet. I wouldn't be opposed to doing either again but they are definitely weird! On the plus side you either end that experience with a boyfriend, a friend, or a funny story :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335781471218233480.post-33962123567140560672013-06-26T14:19:05.904-04:002013-06-26T14:19:05.904-04:00ive been on sooooo many...they are extremely awkwa...ive been on sooooo many...they are extremely awkward but you just gotta smile and fake it, right?<br />i need to write a book!<br /><br />ps side hug only<br /><br />DIANAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05197188734693046867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335781471218233480.post-73081941990615669852013-06-26T13:43:49.485-04:002013-06-26T13:43:49.485-04:00@LC: lol, keepin' it classy!@LC: lol, keepin' it classy!

(Online dating photo horror stories over here.)<br /><br />I feel like a handshake is always so weird, but a hug might be awkward.<br /><br />Oh boy, modern romance. ;)<br /><br /><3 <a href="http://www.dailydaniblog.com" rel="nofollow">The Daily Dani</a>danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05341951262271384712noreply@blogger.com
