Have you ever been set up on a date with someone?



My step mom called me today and left a message on my cell telling me that she set me up on a date and to call her after 8.

I called many times from 8-10:30. I finally got ahold of her but I think she was getting ready for bed. She said she'd call me in the morning. But she did tell me that his name is John. He's a junior at my school and that he's studying computer science.




:freakout

ughhh i dont think i could do that because first of all it would be awkward as hell!! haha and second of all... who knows what he might be like! not to stereotype because I was a computer science major when i first came to college ( BAD IDEA, i obviously switched haha ) butttt... they can be a little geeky lol but hey some like geeky! he could also be very smart sooo who knows :dunno good luck!

Yes, my first boyfriend was a fixup.. we didn't date for very long because he was a whiney momma's boy.

I hope that this isn't too awkward. I'll be finding more out later today. :worry

My sister set me up on a blind date - and he became my DH!

Sure have!! On Dec 17 we will be married for 24 years!! :pinkie

I was set up on a blind date when I was first stationed in Hawaii. One of the senior guys I worked with and his wife set me up with a guy that his wife worked with. The guy went all out and took me on a dinner cruise and bought me flowers. However, it was one of the most miserable dates I ever went on. There was just no chemistry and you can't force that no matter how much a guy spends on the date.

This waiting to hear more info is driving me nuts.

yep once... son of a family friend.. boy was that a bust! but, i got dinner...haha:D

blinddate :dunno. They can be good or bad. Just be careful you know :fetti

Nope I never have but you never know it could turn out to be a good thing. If it's not hey atleast you got dinner. ;)

well not a 'blind-date' per se.... but my friend from HS took it upon herself to play matchmaker and set up a double-date with my current boyfriend....

Yes. Not by my mom or step-mom though. I was set up on a date with my first real boyfriend by one of my best friends. She was dating his best friend at the time. And then my now SIL set me up with their cousin. I didn't like him so I rambled on about my ex. :giggle And then she told her brother (my now hubby) that I wanted his number. I guess she was determined to have me in the family somewhere. :lol

Never have been, but it might be a good experience! My brother is a computer science major and he's pretty darn amazing :teehee I suppose I might just a tad biased, though!

hubby loves computer and hes hott!!!especially when he starts speaking all computer termy im like i have no idea what you just said but i am sooo turned on lol im the same way when he talks about jets lol
and if it sucks you'll get free food at least

No idea about fix-ups. My bff tried it once, and that was when I realized we had *vastly* different tastes. :duh He was a sweet guy, I just felt bad 'cos I was so not interested.

Re: comp sci guys. They're hot. But... uh... I might be biased. Some of them are prolly really awkward though... but they're always really smart!

I've been there. A very good friend from my school's speech team set me up with his best friend from elementary school. It didn't work, at all. This guy cried more than I do... which is kinda interesting, since I so seldomly do.

When I found out his name, my step mom said it was John. Or maybe I heard her wrong. Or maybe she heard him wrong. Cause I got a friend request on facebook from a guy named Chung. Which kind of sounds like John.... Kind of. Anyway, I find this very weird because a girl sometime ago requested me and I accepted even though I don't think I've ever met her because she went to a different HS than me. But they have the same last name. So it could be her brother or something which is kinda crazy. lol

I got some more info. His name is Chung, not John. Lisa misheard. He's Vietnamese. 23 years old and 5'11". When she said he was very cute, she said it enthusiastically. So I guess he is cute. He's average weight.

I still want to see a picture of him.

i was once. i had a great night with him, but that was it. he lived too far away & i found out he had a record :scared
but he was really cute. good luck!!

A record? Like.. lots of women? Or an illegal record? lol

A couple times. It didn't go anywhere.
