Re: A potentially bad blind date setup

As for the date, I would just tell whoever necessary (either your friend or his fiance) that this girl isn't your type. I would do it diplomatically, but I don't see this as too awkward.

See, the problem is it's supposed to be a blind date--I surreptitiously found her profile on Friendster. So there's really no way that I'm supposed to "know" that she isn't my type until I meet her.

The person that is setting you up is fully aware that it's 2005 and that you're not a luddite, right?
I think it's more than fair to be honest- and to be clear that even though you may be interested in "blind" dates, you're still going to do your best to make sure that it's worth it for you.
If you're making the effort to be kind to people you care about, people you care about should be kind enough not to waste your time if you're not interested in their ugly friends.
