I met my fella on a sort of blind date too.......30 years ago :-D

I thought the thread was about bad dates though?

My bad date - obviously not with my dearly beloved soul mate - was quite some time before.
I was 16 and the first date did have the distraction of being taken to a party, even though his conversation consisted of 'did I mind him being 5 years older' than I. The follow up date was spent on the sidelines of the local rugby field - on boxing day morning if I remember correctly - (with his dad!!!) watching boyfriend play rugger. There was no third date.

Come to think of it - so did we! We're still best friends with couple who introduced us more than 40 years ago.

The only other blind date was one arranged by a friend while we were at secondary school. It turned out he and I had 'been out' together while we were at Primary School. Oh well, the film was OK. :-)

Only ever been on one Blind Date <3 ... still with him 43 years later. :-D

Joy.........are you 6' 2" / 6' 3"?
:-)

I was wearing my high heels Ann but to no avail. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D ;-) ;-) ;-)

GP

You should have worn heels GP :-D :-D :-D

A workmate asked me would I make a foursome up with his fiancée's friend and I said I would. He described her as being very pleasant and attractive so I couldn't wait to meet her. I met them in Newcastle and I got the shock of my life when I saw her. She was 6' 2" / 6' 3" tall, head and shoulders taller than little me and I felt so uncomfortable all night and I was glad when the night ended.

so GR saw fit to delete my reported posting - for what reason I have no idea, as I repeated the story further on :-S

You may ask Island - I was a good girl who liked a good time and a good laugh and I still do. He remained expressionless from start to finish.

Hog the chocs! He didn't even buy any. :-0

He had no chat during the interval. I think if someone had tipped over and scattered ice cream everywhere it would still have left him without even a glimmer of smile across his face :-S

He did buy my ticket though - AND I LET HIM. :-D

Not sure if I should ask Joy.........but how did you find him boring in the pictures? :-S Did he hog the chocs? :-0

You could be right there Island. Lumbered is how I felt so he probably felt the same. I took some persuading to make a foursome so he may well have been the same.

I never made a foursome up again - I am a quick learner.

Gawd, was I pleased to see the ex - much more life and fun in him.


:-D :-D :-D

He must be the fella who said "I got lumbered with me mates girls friend at the pictures and she wouldn't stopped yacking and trying to nick me chewing gum......." Joy :-D


Aw shucks, Bob. :-D

You may not believe this, but I still have those drumsticks. They are well over 50 years old. (As am I). I found them when we cleared out the old family home about five years ago.

Don't beat your own drum Bob :-D

Sorry ladies, but I am spoken for.

The nearest I got to a blind date was when, at the age of about 16/17, I was asked to go to the pics with my friend to make up a foursome - she did not want to go alone. I knew my dat a little and was not keen but, being a good friend, I went along. What a boring evening - he had an old man's head on young shoulders at the age of about 18; no fun at all.

We came out of the pics and I had to get the bus home. I didn't even let him walk me to the bus stop, so bl***y boring was he.

But the evening was not lost.

On my way to the bus stop I bumped into my ex-boyfriend who had just had the same experience as I had albeit at the pics along road. We got together and enjoyed the rest of the night - and had another couple of months of enjoyment.

At that age, three months or so with one boyfriend was enough for me.

Twenty years later I bumped into the borer's cousin where we lived thousands of miles away. I realised that I'd had a lucky escape because the cousin was just as boring and mouthy with it. :-S

Oh dear Ann, perhaps your dodgy date is a member of GR LOL

or the sight of blood makes the RR'r feel even more faint

BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

:-D

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Tawny he could of been a taxidermist :-D :-D :-D ;-)

Don't do it Tawny :-D :-D :-D :-D
