Blind Date

Has anyone been on a Blind Date?

I have and married him.

We had a mutual friend who set us both up on a blind date at the Pictures.

Re: Blind Date

My first date was a blind date 50 years ago . He is a farmer and I met him again not long ago at a family funeral, he never married .

Glad things worked out for you Susie.

Re: Blind Date

Re: Blind Date

Yes, once and only once! Bored out of my mind. We went to the pictures, in one door we both went and I went out the other, telling the poor chappie I was going to the loo

Never again

Re: Blind Date

Once and it was as a favour to a friend to accompany her on a double date. They took us to a travelling fair and paid for us a ride on the Waltzer. The boy tried to kiss me and he was quite revolting I told my friend that I was going home with or without her. She didn't forgive me for about two weeks

Re: Blind Date

I went on a couple, the worst - this was about 15 years ago - was a man at least 60 with dyed black hair in a 1950s quiff, three teeth, a Teddy Boy cord round his neck with a huge glittery stone at the end and limited conversational skills. It was such a long evening and I just wanted to turn round and run, but you can't really, can you? Oh, and no, we didn't marry!

Re: Blind Date

I was formally introduced to the man I was to marry when I was 15 and he was nearly 18, when he was visiting my home island from the UK. He is the much younger brother of the husband of a friend of my late Mother. Our courtship was mostly conducted by letter or phonecall, I was at school and he was at university. I only saw him at holiday times when either I flew over to the UK, or he flew over to our island. We married when I was nineteen. I still can't work out exactly what has made our relationship tick. He was a million light years more intelligent than me before his devastating illness, which has left him brain damaged, half his brain is completely trashed apparently. However in some respects he is still more intelligent. We have no interests in common apart from our children/grandchildren, but somehow we have managed to put up with each other for nearly 44 years.

Re: Blind Date

That's an arranged marriage, not a blind date And you say religious people are brainwashed Subservient to your husband too from what I have read sounds like a loveless one too, having to put up with each other.

Re: Blind Date

I was set up on a blind date when I was about 15, he was okay but not really my type (a bit too conservative) so it didn't last long. I met up with years and years later with his wife and she'd had two sets of twins! I consider myself a lucky escapee
