What Kingrene said is true. Girls love to talk about themselves so ask questions and if she has a personality she can take it from there. Also be funny, be assertive and don't be indecisive. And you need to start the date out with something that will brake the ice since you have never met her. And wear some sort of nice cologne, girls love a guy that smells good. I had a blind date a couple of years ago and I took her to ride a sky coaster (its like bungee jumping...sort of) at this place called zero gravity park in Dallas. She didn't know we were going there until we pulled into the parking lot. She almost freaked but it was such an adrenaline rush that she completely came out of her shell. We went for a few drinks after that and then went to one of the comedy clubs around town. She laughed, talked and had a great time the whole night but before we got on the sky coaster she seemed to be real shy. BTW. Avoid taking her to the movies and don't go to a party with her unless it is later in the night and you have had time to talk and get to know each other. ------------------ [This message has been edited by crash5179 (edited July 07, 2001).]

Hey Rob I went on two blind dates at Tech. One was great, the other sucked. Just be yourself, play it by ear, and have a good "out" excuse. (I had an awful one. At 10:00 on a Saturday night, I told The blind date, I had to study for a calculus test. Needless to say, she didn't buy it) Anyway, enjoy it. What can it hurt? ------------------ "I never did like that "Dr. Stupid""-Monty Burns
I feel left out in that I never got to go on any blind dates while I was at Texas Tech. Thinking back, though, my wife (at the time) probably would've objected. ------------------ Why not visit MovieForums.com
Don't EVEN talk with her about sex on the first date. When I was dating between marriages, I had a semi-blind date who told me about the time her husband told her he wanted a divorce. They had spent a rainy Saturday f***ing their brains out-- at least five times as I recall. He crawled to the end of the bed and told her that he wanted a divorce and walked out. They divorced, but what a way to say goodbye. ------------------ "How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak.

Well, here's how it went.... Absolutely horrible. While I am setting this up (I had called Kathy around 8 Sat night) my date hands me off to her friend. That's bad sign number one. We agree to meet at Rosa's around 8:45-9 for some dinner and to see how it goes from there. Well I get there and Kathy and her friend are there. Well we get dinner. I get a 'normal' enchilada meal, they get 12 freaking tortillas and some cheese. Well, now instead of having a blind date with one person its with 2. Strike 2. Well the conservation goes bad. Around 8:20 they go to the restroom and when they come bad two Frat Daddies named Zane and Dane come up to the table and start flirting with them like I don't exist and they invite them to their party. Well, they want to exchange cell numbers but no one has a pen....... except me. So I think, what the hell and say "Kathy I have a pen". She proceeds to write down their cell numbers in her checkbook ledger. Well, that's it-- this date will be over. We go outside so Kathy can have her smoke after Chip and Dale leave. After a few minutes of sh!@t-chat I'm about to leave when Kathy extends her hand to shake my hand. I shake hands (ugh) with her and her friend, Ashley, and go to my car. This was at 9:30. The date was done in 30 minutes. I then go back to work wanting to knock some stuff out, well I remember one of the afternoon guys is having a party. So, I give him a call and get over to his house by 10. I then proceed to 'have some fun' and drink a lot of this yellow liquid that came out of this metal barrel, I think it was called a keg. Then this 'keg' had, I think the word is 'floated' around 2am. The next thing offered to me were these cans of more yellow liquid with the words "Coors Light" on them. Isn't Coors the name of a ballpark or somethin'? Anyway, I came home Sunday morning at 9:30 and somehow this whole bad blind date didn't really matter anymore. I think most of y'all would agree with that. After sleeping for most of today I come into work. The DJ that set me up was there, so I tell him how it went. Everything is ho-hum until he says, "Wait, who was the short one?" I say "My 'date' Kathy." He then says, you got screwed. Ashley is actually the short one and Kathy is the tall one. So, now I am feeling just a bit bitter, but I will have my revenge. Kathy is going on the dating game Thursday and she is going to get reamed on the air. So, in summary, drinking a lot of yellow liquid is good and getting revenge on some dumb bi!ches makes it better. How was your weekend? Rob P.S. Whoever was wanting to e-mail me, go ahead.

You made that up about the frat guys being named Zane and Dane, didn't you? There aren't really people in the world named Zane and Dane, are there? (Well, I guess I know there are Zane's in the world since I have a nephew with that name, but he would never hang around someone named Dane). ------------------ Why not visit MovieForums.com?

Robert, the advice I gave you was meant for a blind date with a girl who was not a rude b**ch like the one you described. Good news for your though! There are plenty more women. Go get 'em Tiger! ------------------
Ryan-- I am not making any of that up. BTW, don't you agree that drinking a lot of yellow liquid makes a night go by just right. ------------------ I work in radio in Lubbock.

I wouldn't know, I don't drink often enough to have much of an opinion of it. I suspect that the times that I've gotten drunk would've been fun with or without the alcohol (since I was in places like New Orleans during the times I've been drunk. One would have to work really hard to not have fun in The Big Easy). I actually knew a set of twins once whose names were Chip and Dale (as a matter of fact, I saw Chip not too long ago at the Kinko's in Amarillo). ------------------ Why not visit MovieForums.com?
