I *still* cannot understand what that "friend" thought I was into when she set me up with that guy. Holy shit.<BR/><BR/>The guy was a former body builder who had stopped working out, and so all the muscle had turned to fat. (His description of himself...not mine. Just to be clear.) He thought it would be fun (and not creepy at all!) to make me dinner at his apartment (he was around 21 - I was 17, I think), and then hang out in a back room they had set up with a VCR to watch some show that he had taped. I can't remember which one it was, but after it was over, we somehow got on the subject of UFO's, and he went OFF about how much he had dug up on Area 51, or whatever the fuck that is out there in Arizona, and he had a video of the alien autopsy and some other stuff that was considered "classified" (did I mention that he had been in the military for a while? Yeah...nice), and did I wanna watch it?<BR/><BR/>Um, NO, asshat! I do NOT wanna watch any alien freakshow shit on a FIRST GODDAMMED BLIND DATE that was about as suffocating as they came!<BR/><BR/>I almost kicked that girl's ass in algebra class the following week. I can't believe I didn't, looking back now.Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586875268181033533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21353439.post-74694704523700049602007-06-04T10:55:00.000-05:002007-06-04T10:55:00.000-05:00XO never gives us one physical description of this...XO never gives us one physical description of this woman, yet we envision her through his emotional response to the whole evening.

We came up with a string of ego saving excuses as to why you cant date the person. "Your personality is just like my brother's and i cant get past that." to "you look like the man who committed some horrible offense (of your choice) against me and Im sorry but I cant get past that." Linking innocuous to painful makes it all you. Im totally fine with it being all me as long as i dont have to be mean. Once I moved to avoid breaking up with a guy. I kind of suck as a person.crsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05938033455038715980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21353439.post-90457369991896503362007-06-04T01:55:00.000-05:002007-06-04T01:55:00.000-05:00Aw... blind dates aren't all bad.That's how I met ...Aw... blind dates aren't all bad.<BR/><BR/>That's how I met my husband.<BR/><BR/>Of course, if you ask HIM about blind dates... who knows, he might tell you to run, run, run, run away.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry it didn't work out for you though.<BR/><BR/>Now everyone should go post their own stories about how they met their ------- so I can go around and read them.<BR/><BR/>:)Satyavati devi dasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13980257934310271457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21353439.post-39820267596837985282007-06-03T22:52:00.000-05:002007-06-03T22:52:00.000-05:00Damn, I'm glad I'm married!

And I too went on line with my date looking after my relationship with the She Devil ended. I got lucky for once and my wife was the first gal I got as far as a face to face with. She had met a few guys and dated two of them, so it wasn't total desparation for either one of us. Joining match.com was empowering for me, as I was taking control of my social life and getting my name out and about.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14955078574626461009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21353439.post-60655245977608468252007-06-03T21:36:00.000-05:002007-06-03T21:36:00.000-05:00That is the creepiest shit I have ever heard.
