Blind dates are totally awesome. I had a boss set me up with one a few years ago. Met her, she was hot, she was smart, we hit it off. She indicated that she wanted something more casual and fun (read into that what you will). We went out for about 6 months. Then one stormy night I asked her why we never went to her place. She matter of factly told me that "Her husband wouldn't approve"
Me - "You mean your ex-husband right?"
Her - "nope"
Me - "Your husband that your seperated from right?"
her - "Nope"
Me - "Get out"
Now let me put this into perspective. I'm not a prude, or a straight laced guy or anything. But I've never cheated, I believe that marriage is some kind of sacred thing, and I didn't want to get shot in the face by some jealousy induced enraged husband.
Then there was another blind date where I went out with a girl for almost a year when I was about 26. She was cute, sorta smart, she was a huge asset on a softball team, but she never had a job or went to school where I saw her. She basically sat at home and probably smoked dope. So I took her out one night and after we ordered drinks, the conversation turned to fall plans.
She told me proudly that she was going back to school. Here I was thinking college or university and asked her what she was taking.
Math 10, Social 10, English 10.
Holy Crap I'm going to jail.
After that. No more blind dates.
They're only good for hilarity.
