I think Jean Shephard wwrote the best story I ever heard on blind dating. In it he tells of all the fears he had of going out on a blind date;all those dreadful fears we all have had about what a loser this person might be, etc. About half way through he realizes HE is the blind date!!! It's really choice....We never consider ourselves as the blind date...a nice twist.I avoided blind dates for years. If you're past 25 and single, EVERYBODY is trying to fix you up. Then, when I was 36, a woman who was attending one of my sales trainings suggested I should meet her stepdaughter..."a really nice girl." I had he flu at the time and would do anything to get this woman out of my office! We agreed to meet at a nearby restaurant a few days later for drinks and dinner. The woman brought her stepdaughter and I brought a friend to help bale me out of this mess. Twenty minutes into the conversation I was convinced that here was the woman I wanted to marry. We shuffled the two "chaperones" out the door after the first drink. We couldn't meet again until four days later and the first thing I did then was ask her to marry me...she accepted. Now I'm 50 and know for sure that I made the right choice. Luckily, she feels the same.
Best blind date I could imagine.
