Why not? If its a great date, then you scored.\n\nIf its a so-so date, at least you got out of the house.\n\nAnd if its horrible, then you will have a funny story to tell later on!

Don't make it complicated and obsess about it. She hasn't mentioned the boyfriend (if he still exists) because she's interested in you. Ask her if she's available. Her yes or no ought to answer the question. If she says she's "sort of" seeing someone, you can figure out if you want to "sort of" see her along with another guy or not.  Have fun, take a chance. Life's too short.

I see a skid of a funnycar into a wall. The important thing is to let someone know off the bat if you date just one person exclusively. Its not impossible, but it could get ugly.

I read an article once that work was the #1 place to meet your mate. \n\nBut that aside, I would say you should both agree that if it looks at all like this isn't going to work out, you back off quickly and agree to remain friends.  \n\nOr, get your resume polished off.  But if you really feel like he is not just a guy to date, but someone you could have a future with, go for it.  There are other jobs.

I agree, for a guy, probably not that important. It can send a message though-- after all, if you dressin an outlandish way, or totally slob-like, then obviously you may be showing disinterest, or may draw attention to your clothes specifically, when the date should be about getting to know each other more (hopefully). Of course, if that's your style, then I say go for it, and see if the guy digs it.

Its up to you.  How do you feel about this???  If she will go out with someone behind your back 1x, there may be others down the road.  Or have there been other times that you did not know about???  Does this person have morals???

It really depends on your friend, how attractive she is, and what her interests are. I would pick number 4, personally.\n\nBut I really don't approve of fixing people up on blind dates as a general rule - if things go wrong, you'll get the blame.

Because now its the first meeting face to face. It's almost like a blind date type of feeling. If you meet him do so in a public place were you are comfortable and make sure you have your own way back home.

Is it right? Well, in my opinion it isn't necessarily wrong, but your friend should be weary.  Had she met this person in, well, person.. then maybe I could see them meeting somewhere and starting something, then having to go home so they carry on their relationship.  But to meet someone on the internet.. some people can be real creeps and unless your friend is going with someone when she meets this guy, I don't think it would be smart to go.  She may think she knows this guy.. but you never really know.  Be weary, and its good to know you care so much for your friend.  She's lucky to have you.

Well you are on the right track you just need to think of it a little more. Dinner yes seems like a date, but how about lunch, lunch is a nice casual thing that friends do, and if you pick the right place it will just seem like you are just hanging out, dont go to a fancy place but dont go to a fast food place. ASnd it all depends on if you are driving, Dont pick her up, cause that is kinda datish, and if you dont drive find a place you might be able to walk to etc. And movies are the same thing go in the day time not in the night time, and it would look as much like a date

It's okay to see a couple people, to find out who you want to date.  Dating is more personal, so you need to be able to devote more personal one on one time.  That is how you get to know them, and decide if there is a future together.  If you are w/ many, how can you really give him all the attention he deserves, or find out if he deserves it???  1 on 1 is always the best way to REALLY figure someone out.

no, if i want to leave a blind date half way through then i just do it.  no need to play games.  he must have been a real loser.  for a hottie like you, i would just enjoy your company and wait until you were ready for sex...anticipation is half the fun;-)

Just to meet him could serve to be a very nice experience that could land you a friend or the love of a lifetime. I think maybe you are afraid to be honest with your feelings. You have nothing to lose here. Love is blind. And you need to acknowledge the fears you have that you so do not want other people to see. You need to face them and either accept or dismiss them. All they serve to you now is a hindrance. Dont let nothing get in your way. No external circumstances should hinder your life. I know is difficult. But regret is not a nice feeling. I hope this helps.

Blind dates can be effective or not. Depending on you.\nIf someone introduce me someone that I liked from the begining and the feeling was mutual, WELL Praise for BlindDates. if the people you are introduced in the date is making you feel wort, then dont. \nMy suggestion is consider meeting the girl you like by your own means.  Never underestimate the Rush that comes from stainding up to introduce yourself to whomever you like.\n\nyou can suffer rejection that´s for sure, but you just need one person, not every body has to like you, and eventually we all find the one we need.\n\nOther sugestion, dont LOOK! just let it happen, have fun, be yourself and relax. \nyou atract more when you are ok withyourself.

Hey I'm physically challenged and have dated many a woman.  Just because a person is unable to do some things that you consider as routine does not make them any less of a person.  And yes if I was single and was to meet a woman who did not have any vision or wasn't able to communicate verbally I would not think twice about going out with them if we connected.

The new place in town or local happening. Resturant, art show, wine tasting event.... I'm sure you can find one that you would both be open to trying, whatever it is. The important thing is that's neutral ground so there is no baggage for either of you. If its a bomb she wont blame you. If its great you get kudos for originality.\n\nNo dinner and "anything", keep it short. If its not working you both have an out. Bad dates are torture and should end quckly. If it is working the night/day is still young and you can show the spontaneous side. If your not the spur of the moment type have a few ideas for part 2 of the date ready and fake it. Neutral ground rule applies here too. She's not ready to meet your friends or check out your haunts if she's not sure she's into you yet.

Oh yeah!  Hey, a date is harmless.  It's a chance to get to know each other.  That's all.  It's not a marriage proposal.  The description you gave of yourself is very attractive to me but I'd still have to get to know you.  I've met some beautiful Barbie Doll looking women but once they opened their mouths I got turned off.  Either they were dumb or had bad attitudes and didn't respect people.  You sound like you'd be worth getting to know.  If you're in the San Francisco area, let me know!   -T
