When i say blind i mean you can not see you date. That way if you do fall in love with them you fall in love with there personality and not there looks. Makes sense to me. Only vain people seek looks in someone. Personally, i couldn't care less what my partner looks like. As long as they had a great personality.
I have never had a blind date in my life. From the stories I hear from those who have they have a
high rate of disaster. I vote on this side because a) I wished I had of been on at least one, and
b) Some of the stories I have heard from them have been hilarious.
B. You are right. There are tons of very funny stories. I once was set up with a blind date when I was a teenager. The guy made me pretend to be younger to get a cheaper movie ticket and complained about buying a soft drink. He then got me a water and complained about the ten cents to buy the cup....LOL To think he expected a goodnight kiss....I don't think so! He is lucky he got a hand shake and not a good, swift kick. Conversely, my ex-husband was a blind date and that went well. Oh....wait a minute...we are divorced. I guess not as well as it could have. At least I have two beautiful daughters from that blind date.
Amazing how that sounds in theory. I am not sure if you can fall in love with someone in the
situation you are speaking of. Because I believe that attraction is a big part of falling in love I
find it hard to believe that it is possible.
If you don't know who your dating by the looks could cause problems not associated with "able to
see" dates
ex - you may date a person who is old enough to be your grandparent (you wouldn't see the oldness of
the person and if your already on the date then it is too late)
another example - if your date happens to be a family member (you wouldn't know about it until you
question them during the date)
If someone falls in love with a personality it might be very important that it remains blind.;-) I
might not look like the guy wid the 'at on at all. I might look more like George Clooney.;-)
Blind dates are a waste of time, most people aren't compatible especially if they don't find the
other person attractive. Looks matter a lot to us humans, just look at advertising in our society,
everything is pretty much sold with a beautiful person standing next to the product.
