I'm doing it again. My friends are setting me up with another blind date and I agreed to it. I just called her and she was busy, so she is going to call me back. I want to unplug my phone.
I happened to just be reading this before checking SG and seeing your entry:
The "blind" date, that meeting with a stranger often arranged by a well-meaning friend or relative, is generally preferred by people who like surprises, who never get around to meeting others, or who may be "commitment phobic." Perhaps due to their shock value, horror stories about blind dates tend to outnumber happily-ever-after tales, but good news rarely makes headlines. Tell friends and family that you're interested and looking, and remember to thank them for any introductions, no matter what happens.
