My thoughts on Blind Dates.

I think blind people are God's children, just like everyone else.

I would have no problem dating a blind girl, as long as she was a good Christian.



Well... I probably wouldn't let her pick me up in her car.
Other than that, I'd treat her just like everyone else.

I sort of went on a blind date and lets just say it didn't go very well. We only sent texts back and forth and I actually met him for a few minutes, but it was a few months before the date. One thing to remember just because it is a first date does not mean you have to kiss him, especially being a blind date. I would definitely drive yourself because it is safer that way, I wish I drove myself because he was not who I was expecting. I would also let your friends know where you are going and when you should be back or even plan a double date, safety in numbers. Have fun.

You DRIVE! Best advice I can offer without being more aware of the guy. Kiss on first date? No.......but that is only a personal thing...........maybe a wee peck on the cheek goodnight, but not full on gotcha kinda kissing. Still, be sure that.....

YOU DRIVE!

:)

You know they put braille on drive through ATM's. There must be something to this.

Heartwarming excellent advice Maxwel. Relient, i'd ask Rachelsedge if I were you. She arms herself with the latest in human debilitation equipment and wears the most stunning kevlar outfits available. She's a veritable clearing house of defensive flanking and manuvering techniques on blind dates. Give her a shout out.

You heard about the blind Bank Robber who handed a "This is a Robbery" note to the ATM?

Let him pay for everything. If he holds the door open for you and later ask to kiss you let him. He is probably a nice guy. Take some breath mints with you.

In all honesty, I actually PREFER blind dates.

Blind girls seem to find me more attractive.

Just be yourself, know your limits and watch out for any red flags. If things turn bad, don't worry about being "rude" and ending it early. You aren't there to impress him, but for him to get to know who you are, and vice versa.

relientkchick: You sound like me. I've never been on a date before either.

Nope, sorry, didn't have any advice. Just an observation. And I'm glad I'm not the only person in the 30's who has never been on a date.

Make sure you drive. You can be starry-eyed but do keep an eye out for possible red flags. Also, keep your friends informed about where you are going and by when you must be back.

I don't think you must kiss the guy on the first date. That is, not unless he is an absolute charm and you think you both can hit it off very well. Then you can give him a quick peck on the cheek when you bid goodbye.

Yes. I would be very subtle at this point
.
Maybe even just meet him at a public place rather than using the same transportation?
One time I thought I was going on a blind date with this guy I knew from a camp I went to when I was a kid and he started communicating to me in a very inappropriate way and I had no way of escaping at that point.

But other than that over time if he seems like he is trustworthy or of good character acclimate your dates around a way that you show him that. And then maybe after knowing his quirks and seeing if that does not involve being creepy then maybe in the future you can drive with him in a car instead of meeting him publically.

And don't even think about physical intimacy, a real man won't even be expecting that from you if he truly wants to be the Godly lead that he is being called to. Even if that means a kiss. :)

I wanted to add to this, he was a crazy driver. He would drive about 80 MPH on the highway. Lets just say I was praying we would get pulled over by the state police so they could take me home, but that never happened. I never saw the guy again. Have fun, but be smart about it.
