Well, in 1999 I was going through my first (and hopefully last) divorce. I actually did not believe it would happened until she filed. I went into a chatroom for divorcees about 2 days later and met a girl who lived about 10 minutes from me. we went out a couple of times, but really no sparks (on my side). But, she was nice so I thought to continue to hang out. My divorcing wife was very curious (and furious) about me actually meeting somebody, but I kept quiet about any details.
About 2 weeks later I get this e-mail- "I moved in from Atlanta, I don't know anybody here, do you think we could hang out?"
The first thought was- my wife is putting me on. But I started IM'ing and e-mailing with Ellen, and she proposed we met. At this time I was driving a 1987 Dodge Colt so I warned her about the divorce and financial implications of such, including my car. She did not mind (she was an Office Depot mgr making around 100K a year including bonuses).
When we met the first thought I had was :" it's going to be a loooong date- she is so far out of my league, it's not even funny." imagine a Polish-Irish (can't get any more Catholic, unless you are a Pope) strawberry-blond-going-on-redhead with radiant green eyes woman with a very trim and fit body saying " hi, are you Peter?" at the same time when your self esteem (never very high) is at a life-low.

Well, it went OK I guess, because our son will be 2 this November and we will celebrate our 3 wedding anniversary this May (yes he was an "ooops, how did this happened?", but not unwelcomed. by the way, being in the 2% of people that found out the Pill AND another contraceptive method is not infallible, should I play a lottery??).

Good Luck!!

Met my current wife on a blind date,have been married 15 years.

My high school friend Sue,who had a very active "social life" and was well known in local bars told me about a co-worker of hers in the local hospital who was single,very smart and was my feminine beau ideal,flaming red hair and a very voluptuous and feminine figure.

I initially dismissed this with the usual reservations,great,I said, another lowlife bedwarmer,couple of drinks and slam,figures with the tarts she hangs out with.

I could not have been more mistaken.

Called and left a message on her machine,she called me 2 days later and the rest is history.

She did share her initial anxiety with me 1 week later after awakening from a post-coital nap.

She was very worried that since I was a friend of Sue's I would turn out to be another crack headed slacker and thus she fell victim to the same fearful reservations I had in regards to her,after that fate intervened,fostered by honesty and respect.

Thankfully have never had a blind date, unless meeting someone from a personal ad for coffee counts as a blind date -- seems more myopic than blind to me, since you're starting out with at least a photo and some profile text in those cases.

Worst practically-blind sort-of-date was a year or two ago, when some guy from another floor of my office building asked me out to lunch. He was a cutie, so I said yes. But, while standing in line to order at the deli, his first topic of conversation was, "Are your exes all bastards?" When I looked at him in confusion, he clarified, "because all of my exes are *****es." Oh boy, that right there was enough for me, thank you. Later in the same lunch, he confided he had not one, but two ex-wives. Much later, a few months at least, he came across my personal ad on match.com and messaged me out of the blue to say 'hi'. The message of course included a link to his profile, so I had a look, and saw he had 'reduced' his age by at least ten years. kekeke...

Tried it once and the girl was "so-so" but her nickname should have been Hoover.

Was set up by some sleezy girls in kollege because they thought she and I would be just about as incompatible as can be. She was a serious student that didn't seem to drink, smoke or do any bad things and I was out drunk 5 nights a week.

And then there was boob-boom Barb, but that may be a story for another day...

Great stories, I went on a few blind dates also, nothing yet, still looking, but the girls I met seemed to like me a lot. First one was an on and off type of girlfriend, very beautiful, blonde, average height, perfect featuers, but in the 7 years I have known her she turned more and more evil, and now is the worst person I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.

The second one tried to use me as a rebound, but since I relized that rather quick she ran back to her ex-boyfriend, and the third one I just met last weekend, she lives kind of far, but who knows....

I was on a blind date once who was also deaf, I couldn't figure out a way for her to know if she was interested in sex or not so we worked it out so if she was interested she would pull on my ding a lang 1 time and 40 if she wasn't.
