Thumbs up The Best Blind Date Ever

Last night a couple of my friends set me up for a blind date last night and it went great. I met her and my friends at a bar and we connected very well.
She was verry outgoing which is great because Im generally quiet. I also like her job she teaches "special" kids so I know she likes kids and she is very patient. And a big plus she really likes my truck.

If she can change the oil, then you really got a keeper! Good luck!

Sounds like she is worth going after. Good blind dates are hard to find. I have been trying to get my friends to fix me up, because I have exhausted the supply of women in our town (small). They either won't go out with me at all or if they do, they refuse a second date. I even offer to change my socks and underwear once a week instead of every two weeks. I just don't understand it. Anyway I am asking all my friends if they know any really nice women who can't talk. This way they can't say no if I ask them out. Good luck with the new girl.

Nice!

My parents too met on a blind date, and look at me now! Well, don't let that make you think all blind dates end up with someone like me. I'm sure some turn out well. haha, good luck with the girl!

I met my wife on a blind date, sortof. I was set up with her sister, pissed off her sister within 5 minutes (threw her in the lake). The rest of the night I spent with my wife and that was 8 years ago.

I was on a bind date once eigth years ago and she has not left since. They are good, because a lot of the pressure from a normal date does not apply.

Blind dates with other friends around is a nice start nobody feels to uncomfortable. When the two of you are alone on your next date hope all goes well.

I've only had two blind dates in my life. The first was horrible. The second is now downstairs playing with our son (he's 4). Last November was our 10th anniversary.

Good luck, and I hope yours works out as well as mine did...

Grease Monkey: Teachers are special people and Special Education teachers, in my opinion, are in a ministry to those who really need them. Special Ed teachers seem to have infinite patience and frustration levels that peak out much higher than most others. They are also very very observant.

Having been married to a teacher for the last 33 years, I offer the following: Treat her well - it will never go unnoticed and be yourself because she will figure you out anyway.

Well wishes to you.

Russ

Smile The Best Blind date Ever

Grease Monkey,
I went on a blind date 15 years ago and now have been married to her for 13 years, and we have two beautiful children. It doesn't hurt her father restores cars and trucks. He also happens to have quite a nice collection of Fords. She said I married her for her father, I never have denied it!
Good Luck,
Jeff Barker
