What do you think of blind dates?
Have you been on a blind date before? If yes, how do you feel about it? I’ve known some ladies who sign up with match-making and speed dating agencies and get introduced to strangers as blind dates. At the first sound of it, blind dates seem quite fun, full of anxiety. But over time, I believe it may not be so anymore. Unless you don’t mind meeting new people and take these blind dates as just a chance to know someone new or making friends.
For some, blind dates are only for desperados, while others may find it just another casual dating game. For those who are looking for their life partners, going on blind date after blind date, it can be frustrating that they’re just not finding THE date. But yet, nowadays, blind dating seems to be a common way for women to meet new people and a chance of finding true love.
Blind dates may seem harmless, but I do caution women about it. If you have not already read, there have been many cases of blind dates that ended up with many girls being harmed. Since you do not know who the guy is, you will never know what he is capable of and what the true intention of the blind date is. Many unfortunate girls were raped by their blind dates and many others have also experienced not so pleasant times with their blind dates.
It is safer to go for blind dates who are friends of your friends. This means to say that these blind dates are set up by your friends with their guy friends. This should be a safer option, but still, you need to exercise caution anyhow. You just never know.
Nevertheless, blind dates can be fun events for many. By all means, go ahead and enjoy yourself, have a good time. Just be careful and don’t be too trusting of someone you hardly know.

I had a bad experience through a blind date last year. Friends thought they’d do me a favour and set me up with a third party.
I was excited naturally, maybe curious and even afraid. We met at the local wetherspoons for a drink, when i arrived, he introduced himself, i could barely understand his name coming from drunken lips and he stunk of kebab meat.
I found out that he’d met friends four hours before my location, and had courage gulped his brain into another world, to add to this situation, he had eaten a kebab and had bits of relish and salad on his chin.
It was very embarrassing, and after a drink with him, i faked an incoming call and escaped.
Blind date, maybe without the dirty beer and kebab meat.
Will not be doing it any time soon

Jane, sorry to hear about your blind date that didn’t go well. Once bitten, twice shy…perhaps a non-blind date will be more fun in the future. Good luck!
