When Uninteresting Women ATTACK! #5: It Was A Blind Date But I Wasn't Blind Enough!

[RaphaelsRedemption]

I'd never agree to a blind date, simply because I'm one of those super fugly guys you people are speaking of.

See, I reckon it's not just about the looks. It's about the personality, and how that affects the looks.

Chubby's ok, if the person is well dressed and well presented. Homely is ok, so long as the person is clean and has a nice smile. Add a sense of humour, good manners, and a considerate attitude, and I bet most people would consider that to be perfectly adequate for a blind date.

 

[Danish rage]

Never blind dates, but lost dates. Meaning im completely lost in my thoughts borred out of my skull. I see her lips moving but i hear nothing of meaning, and after a few minutes im on auto pilot thinking of poker statistics.

man..im a sucky date.

 

[Phantomess]

My friends know better than to set me up on blind dates... I'm not the dating type, really.

 

[Ziadaine_v1legacy]

I dont blame you for ejecting out that way, I'd be pissed too if that happened to me.

About two years ago I went along with my friend because she "found me a girl who'd I like". being a close friend I'd assume she knows my types. Instead I was force-dated along with this horrible woman (both physically AND personality wise). Words cant describe how much of an idiot I felt that night to even talk to her let alone her hitting on me. worst part is she was still decided on me or her abusive ex. I just said "go to your ex then. Im not dealing with a woman who doesn't even know what she wants"

The poor bastard, what'd he ever do to you?

 

[ComicsAreWeird]

Yeesh.

Nope, never been on a blind date. I´ve never had a problem showing my face on facebook (heck, even my Escapist profile pic has my face on it) and i´d expect the same courtesy from the other person. I prefer to date people who i know in real life.

 

[P.Tsunami]

Been on one blind date in my life. It was a smashing success (while on one hand the girl was completely insane... on the other, she was completely insane).

 

[tharglet]

Even if I wasn't in a relationship, I wouldn't go on a blind date. I'd agree to meet someone in a friendship situation, but not in a dating one unless it was someone I wanted to go out with.
I'm a picky person, even if my choices would seem rather odd to others

I remember ALMOST getting in the same situation you did.

See, I was recommended to this girl. She was fun to talk to, had a warm personality, made me happy n' shit, ya know? We only talked over the interwebz, and she never revealed her face, but we did start talking on the phone after a while, and she had a cute voice.

We arrange for a meet-up, but to avoid awkwardness, decide to bring our best friends along. I bring mine, she brings hers. To avoid even moar awkwardness, we start talking to our respective best friends. Her best friend is a bit boring, rather cocky and annoying, but I put up with her.

Then, a week or so before we're arranged to meet, girl I'm supposed to be on a date with reveals that she's in love with my best friend! Oh snap! Crushed I am! I seek comfort with her best friend, and a small spark of love is ignited. She isn't the best personality wise, but oh well, maybe she's to some comfort.

Now, we meet up, and let me remind you that none of us know what the other looks like. The hours pass as we take the car over to them (They're far away from my little city), and we finally arrive. And what does my eyes behold?

The girl I previously had a crush on, who now (sort of) left me for my best friend, is a fat, ugly pig. Her face is like the moon with all those craters. Meanwhile, beside her stands her best friend, my new "love", who's a total bombshell. Lucky daaay!

I don't know if I should be thankful or if I should live in eternal shame over being such a vain ************, but fuck it, I see it as my right to gloat over getting the hot one! My acky breaky heart was very sad over being dumped by fatty, and as we all know, acky breaky hearts want to murder you. Or just ignore you and bone your best friend. Whatever comes first.

And now everyone knows that I'm not exactly the nicest man ever, and that my own inability to keep a woed lady interested in me caused me to become borderline sexist for at least a while, and to that I say: At least everybody won.

Mostly me

Uhm... Isn't that like the complete opposite? xD The only similar factor is that you were both on a blind date.

And that he (the lucky little [redacted]) got to duck the hambeast AND get with the hot chick.

Nonono, it is similar in that we were both on a blind date, and originally I was going to date the fat, ugly one.

But then plans changed at the very last minute (If you can call one week ahead the last minute)

Simulord, a while back did you post a story of separating with a women after she asked you to play WoW with her or something of the sort? Man oh man, if so, I guess you aren't getting enough luck in the dating department.

As for ever going on blind dates, I'd be willing to take the risk on some, but I fear I too will experience what you have gone through...

P.S. Did your friend apologize for the blind date? I'd buy my friend a beer if I messed up that bad.

 

[Angerwing]

I'm just waiting for some young teen with no experience with girls to call you shallow. *popcorn*

I am 17, no experience, but I dont see an issue with people being shallow, hell thats the reason I dont even bother asking girls out (I have low self esteem) people are shallow, you probablly wont talk to most girls if they didnt look attractive to you. Personality comes later (I assume).

You're damn right. By the way, if you want to get some confidence, get a job. Preferably one where you must interact with people beyond what a cashier does. With your experience with the public (after a while, you just stop giving a fuck), and your money from the job, buy yourself some nice jeans, shoes and shirts. Get some style.

I was pretty shy around 2 years ago when I was in the 16/17 stage, but I followed the above steps, got some confidence, and people now really enjoy talking to me in person. I'm at uni, and I talk during the tute sessions (groupthink, basically) more than anyone else. But seriously, you can move past that stuff and end up like an enormous BAMF, like me

The girl who wanted me to play WoW with her remains a very close friend. She is, when not in Azeroth at least, amazingly intelligent, well-spoken, funny, clever, and a delight. When I call her, she actually says "let me log off here" if she's playing when the phone rings. She has never blown me off due to the game.

Unfortunately, she's also nutty as a squirrel turd, hung up to the point of being delusional over an ex-boyfriend who no longer speaks to her and who broke up with her two years ago---but she's convinced she's going to convince him to marry her and let her have his babies. And it's not like this guy is Prince Charming either---he's a spineless worm, chronically unemployed, and pushing thirty and still living with his mother. I'm frankly insulted that she won't choose me over him. (and she and I have never been romantically involved.)

As for the apology, my friend was like "what's wrong? She's a great girl!" and I'm like "She lives under a bridge and asks questions of passing knights to let them pass!"

 

[Valiard]

I always saw the whole blind date thing as a kind of lottery most of the time you dont get squat, but every once in a while you might get something real nice....would probably help if actually went on a date or something to confirm that.

At first, you made this girl sound very intelligent and interesting, the type you want to sit down with and have long talks with. Honestly though, are you exaggerating when it came to her "nuttiness?" or was she really on two ends of the the spectrum?

No exaggeration. Something is not right in that girl's head. She talks about the guy like they're still together whenever I say anything that reminds her of him.
