It may not be a love connection, but at least you know they wouldn't set you up with a jerk.

actually, i think i told you at brun...NO I DO NOT!<br /><br />actually, i think i told you at brunch that day. it was that guy was quite a bit older than me and had just come back from making the documentary on lobster miners in nicaragua. and who said wud up every 5 minutes. although he did do the cadence count with me so that is major points. <br /><br />i don't think i would mind a blind date if it was in a group setting. then at least you can make eyes at your friends. one on one already makes me nervous!! <br /><br />my friend kristin went on a blind date with a guy once-they met at a bar (his idea) and about an hour (and 3 beers for kristin) into the date he told her he was a recovering alcoholic. awwwwkward.smaryalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00146715617451686968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670679032484051596.post-20939902511099651502009-11-12T12:44:42.099-08:002009-11-12T12:44:42.099-08:00Haha, I would say that counts!!

We all have our histories, but it is probably not a good idea to open with that one. We met for drinks but he had a diet coke while I enjoyed a beer. I turned down his future overtures and he said, via email, "i guess we aren't going out again?" He was not dense, at least. <br />I let the same friend set me up with another guy about a year later. I think she saw the small flaws with the previous set-up. This guy was my age, totally cute, a Ga Tech engineering graduate, very nice. We went on a few dates and I chalk it up as a good blind date experience. I probably would have gone on a few more dates with him, but our schedules began to get in the ways of each other AND THEN, the current BF came into the scene and kinda changed the game. I like to think that fate was giving me the confidence boost I needed through the good blind date guy to know what I deserved from the BF and going for it. <br /><br />SCSUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04261556610653423999noreply@blogger.com
