Victim of a blind date set-up

[thymelady]

You have friends. They care. They want what's best for you.
Or rather: they want to see you with someone, so that they know how to define you.
If nothing else, you'll be back in the relationship limbo where we all live happily ever after.
Right?
Well.
Now and then, there is one man or other who they declare will be perfect for you!
They may even be right

I'm going to put a wild guess out there, but did you by any chance have to go through all that recently?

I've never had a serious relationship, so I can't really say much, but I do like to believe real love comes from having known or been friends with someone for a while. I'm not so sure I like the idea of dating, just because it feels a bit...forced, but I don't know. *shrug* I guess it's all relative.

Not a wild guess at all. This is supposed to take place this evening. *sigh*

In my younger days, I never had any blind dates as such. You met other friends' friends, nothing weird about that. I've lived in two longer relationships and am irritatingly happy with my free and single status, I guess. ;-)

After you're in your mid 30ies, things turn a bit siiirius. (LOL, couldn't help) People have histories, there are other kids involved... To me, it'll be just another acquaintance. But the whole thing "make dinner, we'll come and mix up your plans" made the whole thing so ridiculous. ;-)

But - they want to be kind to me. Must not forget. ;-)

Oh, friends with good intentions... It's so difficult because one doesn't want to hurt them, but sometimes, the experiments they put one through can be a bit not to one's taste. All the same, I hope it goes well and you aren't put into any more panic with plan-mixing. :)

LOL, that's so sweet! Thanks! One must take it as it comes... Who knows. But it ain't Richard Armitage coming tonight, that's for sure. 8-)

Cute little heart you had there. See if I can do it back: ♥

You poor thing! Hug! I know how that can be. My cousin used to like to play matchmaker with me and random guys she knew. It was a disaster, and if I ever hear anyone say I'm "lonesome" ever again, I will likely scream. LOL!

The way I see it, if I am meant to find Mr. Right, then I'll find him. I just don't feel the need to rush things, you know?

And who knows: maybe as a show of their good, peaceful intentions, aliens will abduct RA and subsequently create a bunch of clones for us! ROFL! Hey, a girl can dream, right? XD

"if I ever hear anyone say I'm "lonesome" ever again, I will likely scream. LOL!"

LOL right back! Men showing their soft side is good... when you've known them for a while!

And, yes - if it's Mr Right, it's Mr Right. Why rush things, indeed??

The evening turned out well enough, btw. He was a talkative, interesting man. He may be fun to get to know as a friend. That's really all. Why make it into a blind date?? Can't people meet without the pretence of being interested in a relationship?

"Maybe as a show of their good, peaceful intentions, aliens will abduct RA and subsequently create a bunch of clones for us!"

Now, THAT is what I'd call progress in the inter-galactic co-operation! :-D
