Blind Date Story

[PocketThunder]

Any blind date stories here?  I was reading about bigdads blind date on Moparts over the weekend and the guys over there had some pretty good ones.  Here's mine.

I was 18 and off to college in Eau Claire, WI.  My buddy from work sets me up on a blind date and we all go out together on a double date.  The 3 of them arrive at my place and we head off to the mall to eat and go to a movie.  Not the best scenario for getting to know someone when half the night is spent in silence watching a movie.  Anyway, no progress during the movie, and on the way home I talked to her in the back seat of my buddies Celica but she was very shy.  I needed to read some of the ice breaker threads ideas, man I was scraping for anything, but no luck.  They dropped me off and that was it.  Pretty exciting huh.  Later I found out she was really into reading books and taking long hot baths.  So I guess I was the last ditch effort by her friends to get her out of the tub but I couldn't seal the deal.  Oh well.  Guess I should have offered to go to here place and get to know her in a more comfortable environment, like her tub!    Oh and she was good looking also, cant forget that part.

I gotta believe Strat or Old Moparz will have a good story to share.  I would ask if Mojo went on a blind date but I somehow think he would pre-screen all his dates before hand.

I once gave a girl a Roman Soldier Helmet on our first date. Does that count as a "blind date" story?

[Bob]

Mine really was blind.

[Old Moparz]

Not technically a blind date, but close. When I was about 21 or 22 years old, a friend of mine, Mark, had showed a woman coworker of his, named Gwen, a bunch of photos he took while on vacation. That vacation consisted of 6 or 7 of us renting a condo on the beach in Wildwood, NJ for two weeks. She had asked him who I was in the photos, a few other questions, & whether I was single. That's all it takes when you're 21 or 22 & single to be interested in return. 

When I saw my friend Mark, he told me that she was asking about me, but didn't have any photos of her. He did reassure me she was nice looking & that she was interested in meeting. About a week later, a small group of us made plans to go out. It was me, my friend Mark who worked with Gwen, & another friend named Mike. Then there was Gwen & two of her friends named Erin & Rachael. All three were nice looking & seemed okay, but Gwen hardly said much.

Now since Gwen stayed quiet & didn't say much to me, I figured she wasn't as interested as I was led to believe. Also, her friend Erin bought me a drink & talked to me all night instead. I assumed that Gwen wasn't interested, but her friend Erin was. By the end of the night Erin exchanged numbers with me & all seemed fine. Mark never said much that night, but Gwen seemed very interested in Mark & not me. Maybe she was just shy & only talked to him since she knew him already?

A few days later Mark stopped over my house & said Gwen was mad at her friend Erin for hitting on me & exchanging numbers. It didn't seem that way that night we were all out, & it appeared fine. I thought she wasn't interested, or that they had a mutual agreement between themselves. Or maybe they had some kind of secret, joint female restroom trip, with coded communications about who was going to date who. 

Nothing too eventful ever transpired. I saw Erin a few times, but one day found her with another "friend" in a bedroom at a party, so I decided not to call her again. My other "friend" complained not long after that party, of a burning sensation when he urinated. All I told him was that he should always use protection. Gwen stayed friends with Erin, but later moved to Florida & developed a bad coke habit. The other two people who weren't really mentioned, Mike & Rachael, had ended up dating for a few years, married, had a couple of kids, & are still together today.

Mike & Rachael even switched from Buick to Chryslers, so the story has a happy ending.

That's all I got out of this story....that and blind dates are dumb.

Friend of mine's girlfriend's friend.  She was fairly attractive and curvy and pretty cool,  and wanted to talk, we were sitting on bed, after a while she took off her shirt,  nice.    The two girls had come over to where I lived, back in college time. (not really my house).   Anyways, before this, I really didn't know much about her,  they said I might like her, that I should give meeting her a chance, etc.,
  but what they didn't tell me was that she was a new self proclaimed born again christian, and after I was all into her (in my mind,  ) talking with her on the bed, with her full things pushing out of support garmet, (pg rated story),   this is when I found out this great news,   from this       to this

Does me being "blind" drunk and banging some pig and barely remembering it count as a blind date?

[Brock Samson]

sorry i had to check with my lawyers...

i have been cleared to tell you the story about the blind date where the three of us went to Sausalito for drinks at a swanky bay-front bar which was pretty much empty,.. and my date, (who was just o.k. IMO) took a hankering to a guy who imposed himself on our party, he suggested we go sailing on his 30 foot sailboat, which we did,.. our new found "friend" Robert Plant and my "date" hit it off pretty well,..
i wasn't exactly dashed cause i wasn't all that into her anyhow,.. but i was pretty much in awe of him.. though i found him rather arrogant, but perhaps he was simply drunk as we all were drinking heavily.. he never admitted his identity, claiming all night to be a south african diamond merchant, wink, wink... 
i heard from the gal who set us up that they met one more time. but i never saw her again, and i didn't much care. this was in the mid-'80s.
  BTW: my Lawyer is checking on the legality of sharing my other more fond rememberances but i thought you'd especially enjoy this particular story.

[SeattleCharger]

You have a lawyer that you call to check out what you can post in a thread on the charger site?  wow   

       btw, I can't get those links to open you have in your sig.,    wanted to check out your new 71 bee, can you post a pic here please?  thanks, Nate

When you go out on a date...does your mom drop you off right in front of the mall, or at the park and ride?

I think this is an opportunity to set Bronzy up on a blind date and he can report back on how it went.

Brewster can you set him up?

[General_01]

Back in high school, my cousin set me up with a friend of his girlfriend. I can't remember her name, but we hit it off pretty good. After we dropped them off for the night, my cousin asked with a smirk if my CPR lessons went alright. I dated the girl for a few months. Even had a cop ask us to leave a park once because it was after curfew. Boy, it was fun being young.

Been there, done that.
I had one blind date. I was in a rock band back in the 70's. One of my band mates set me up with his G/F's friend. She was average looking but had a huge rack After picking her up in my 74 Chevelle Laguna S-3 (big back seat) we headed to a friend's house for a party. As we approached the back door being the gentleman that I am I opened the door and said after you. Unfortunately one of my band mates already had waayy too much to drink and was running towards the back door trying to hold it in. He came out the back door and proceeded to puke all over my dates shoes Needless to say the date ended there and there wasn't another.

Fortunately I've never been that drunk, but a friend of mine always did that & earned himself the nick name "Farmer Al" for his pig farming. 

This same friend, Farmer Al with the beer goggles, told me & others about a party one night at a girl's house that he had picked up. (Picked up while drunk, of course.) She invited him to this party & said it was okay to bring his friends, adding that her "single" friends would be there too. It was a night out, & like most guys, a chance to possibly meet women made sense. None of us had met or seen the girl he was with, but when we got there she was scary. Not only was she ugly, but she was the waddling type & her room mate could have passed for her twin sister.

Right after she let us in, & before anyone was told who's name was who, she went straight to the kitchen table & tore open the side of a brown paper grocery bag. All these bags of chips, pretzels, & other snack food all spilled out on to the table & floor. Her & her twin grabbed at the snack food like they've never ate before & crumbs went flying. Didn't take much thought as to why the women at this party were single. The party sucked for a bunch of reasons, including bad music played on a bad stereo very loud, & I couldn't wait to leave. I wish I had my own car that night, so I had to hang around longer than I wanted to.

We all teased Farmer Al about this barnyard party he dragged us to, & the 2 chics that had the party were referred to as the "Ria Sisters" from that day on, Ghonna & Dhia.

I peg that number a bit higher.  deep down inside, we all do the same stupid shit.  I like the name farmer al. that's funny.  When I was in college, I had a "run in" with a certian someone of the larger persuasion.  Unfortunately, I was pledging a fraternity at the time and she happened to be the roomate of a girl who was dating one of the brothers...ouch!!  didn't take long for that story to get out.  Besided the inevitalbe stalking from Ms. Psychopath, which I so enjoyed.....the time came to give all of us pledges nicknames.  Mine ended up being
"Magoo"  you know, the guy who drives through construction sites and cannot see?  could have been worse, one guy got "Drater"  (retard spelled backwards)

never been on a blind date just couple of one nighters

[Mike DC]

   
I know a guy who went on a blind date when he was 17, and he married her by 23.  Then she divorced him at 27.  And he's really glad it's over now.   




The worst fugly-chick goof up that I have is one that I never even did. 

I turned her down for dating, and then she offered to just be my no-strings-attached f*ck buddy a week later.  But I still wasn't going there.  She got pissed about the rejection and told everyone that we were hooking up anyway.(WTF?)  I totally denied it, but I wasn't dating anyone else at the time and suspicions die hard.

Sounds like my story of when I met my ex-wife.

Before the internet was a big deal, we met through the news paper classifieds in 1991. Five months later, we were married, 11 years and 2 kids later, we were divorced. She has openly admited that she never loved me, and only married me because she was desperate at the time. Through the 10 years we were together, we rarely if ever did anything or talked about anything together, sex only about once every 6 weeks or so (seriously). We lived more like room mates that sleeped in the same bed. Never showed affection either. She never paid bills that she made, and destroyed my credit to the point I'll never own a house. Rarely cleaned the house, and rarely did the laundry. Was a good cook though. Why did I stay with her?, because of my kids, and I still for the most part don't believe in divorce unless there is no way to avoid it. Until my current girlfriend, I avoided people all the time, had no trust in anyone, and she was the only girlfriend I ever had.

Well, I haven't been on any dates since I've been married & I already posted my blind date story, so the only other one I can think of was an "almost blind date" story for a friend of mine.

A small group of us were at the Paramus Park Mall in NJ getting something to eat when my one friend "Mark" was in a trance. Didn't realize it at first, but when he didn't hear things we were telling him, we realized he was checking out this girl that worked in the food court cleaning tables. I got his attention finally & asked which chick he was looking at. (What else would he be looking at, the tray return table?)

He said "Man, this one girl over there has a really nice body & she's kind of cute."

"Which one?" I said.

He was trying NOT to be obvious, & said "The one with the spray bottle talking to the other girl."

Knowing his shy nature & the fact he was trying not to make it obvious, I got up & started to walk towards her. As I was heading over, I said to Mark, "I'll get her name & number for you, don't worry."

He laughed, & said something to the extent of me being full of it, but when I was further away & looked back smiling, I could see the sheer look of fright & panic on his face. When I got closer to where his hot table washer was, I said hi to her & her friend, & then explained that my friend thought she was cute & was thinking about walking over here to say hello. I don't remember what else was said by her & myself, but Mark looked pale.....LOL

Anyway, she waved at him smiling, & that was all it took for Mark to get up from his chair & walk over. I walked back I tried not to laugh, but I couldn't prevent it. Mark was ready to kill me, but decided not to & ended up exchanging phone numbers with her after they talked awhile. I thought she was friendly & average looking, but she did have a "slight overbite" that was noticeable.

Once at a party, another friend named Jim who had been drinking more than the rest of us, had asked me who Mark's date with the weird mouth was. I managed to avoid laughing, but we all knew what he meant. Jim was an obnoxious guy sober, so Mark was worried & avoided him for as long as he could. When someone finally introduced Jim to Mark's date, he shocked us by being polite. (But that was only temporary though) Jim raised up his unopened beer upward & held it out towards Mark's date. She already had a drink, so Mark looking confused, & told Jim "She didn't need one, she has a drink."

Jim replied, "No Mark, this is my beer, I just want to use the bottle opener you brought with you. 

[PocketThunder]

Jim replied, "No Mark, this is my beer, I just want to use the bottle opener you brought with you. 

   No way!!!  That had to earn him a cut to the chops!..   

[Old Moparz]

Jim replied, "No Mark, this is my beer, I just want to use the bottle opener you brought with you. 

   No way!!!  That had to earn him a cut to the chops!..   

Jim managed to lose friends one by one over the years, but no, he didn't get popped from Mark. Mark was about 135 pounds back then, & Jim was close to 250. Fortunately, for Mark's date, she was far enough away that she didn't hear what was said. Of course from then on, nobody called her by her name when we referred to her, she was known as "the bottle opener". They only dated for about 2 months, she was a real whackoloon & not wrapped too tight. 

[Bob]

Jim replied, "No Mark, this is my beer, I just want to use the bottle opener you brought with you.

I new you had another one Oldmoparz.

I was in the beginning of the internet dating thing, I met this girl for lunch, I found myself looking around for an exit, she was a nutball, she didn't have a job, wasn't interested in a job, she just wanted to sit at home and play with her dog, but she was looking for someone to take care of her and pay her bills, plus she was major scary, The second time I met someone, all she wanted to do was spend her life on her knees, to some that might have been fine, but she creeped me out, but I kept trying and finally found a keeper, seven years and counting, I just needed to find the right internet site.
