Blind date? (not really angst)

AHA! The dreaded blind date scenario. It's probably one of the most scary things a person can go through. :P

A girl that I'm friends with at work brought her sister, whom I also know, in to work today and asked me if I wanted to go to their birthday party. I said it was cool until they told me they had a friend they wanted me to date. They told me a little bit about her I'm actually pretty scared to find out what she's like.

They told me that she's really smart, that she likes to drink. Sounds cool. They told me that she's a little weird. OK, I'm weird, too. It was a little weird when they told me that she goes up and down the halls at school blessing everyone. I'm not weird like that :\

I asked them if she was good looking. Ack. "Well she has a great personality! , lol just kidding!" "Well, she's a little heavier." I don't mind not dating a scrawny girl, but fat is out of the question. Same goes for prettiness.

Kinda of a funny twist - the girls who are trying to set me up told me that this other guy at work had met her at the bar once and they really liked each other but never exchanged numbers and neither of them knew who they were. And these girls know this but they won't tell either of them who they are. I smell something fishy. I think I'm gonna ask this guy about her. I don't care what happens either way.

So things aren't looking up for me, and this is going down tomorrow. I may not show up for this "birthday bash." I should have asked for a picture.

Anyone else have blind date stories?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

No and I never intend to have one. Don't go on them :P It's really a shot in the dark... and more often it seems it's a miss. Then it gets all weird cuz you gotta come up with excuses... it's just a waste of time. If you go out with her, go out with her and some of your mutual friends so u can just ditch her with peace of mind if she is teh fugly.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I've had a few. One of which stands out is that the guy's roommate who asked me on behalf of him emailed me a semi-lame story of how he was searching to girl's whose first name was mine on the facebook and stumbled across my profile. He thought I shared similar interests with him and so set me up with him.

Turns out the guy was in one of my same classes that semester (last) and I realized it when I first met him. Can someone say... awkward? Anyway, we ate at some restuarant, and then he called me a few more weekends that semester. I guess he took the sign that I wasn't interested because this semester the calls stopped.

I recommend blind dates, preferably with one of your friends (I took mine along). It can be fun, and it's worthwhile if you're single and looking for some fresh faces.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
