Re: A potentially bad blind date setup
[ QUOTE ]
Further complicating matters is the fact that I'm not drinking for a little while [/ QUOTE ] Ok, enough of this. Unless you're on some kind of medication, I don't want to hear this anymore. 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. |

[/ QUOTE ] 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. |

I don't think there's anything wrong with coming clean. Your curiosity overtook you etc.

Just get it over with. Who knows, after she finds out that you checked her out on friendster, she'll check your site and might be thinking the same thing.

[/ QUOTE ] At least once every few weeks, a female friend of mine asks if I want to be set up with so and so, I politley say "I don't want to get set up" and leave it that. |

[/ QUOTE ] In this day and age of everyone being on MySpace, I'd ask your female friend to hook you up with a profile link for these chicks so you can see ahead of time what you're getting into. You might be passing up some decent setups. |

I'm completely fizzucked in the female department. Edit: Let's concentrate on Brad here. |

[/ QUOTE ] 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. |
