Blind dates are common with your crowd. Your friends, who one-by-one are getting married, are "concerned" that your biological clock is ticking very fast, and you are becoming an "old maid". The husband of the last friend who got married, John, has a brother, Jack, who is single and very available. You agree to meet Jack.
You and Jack, your first blind date, meet at a rib joint, which happens to be one of Jack's favorite restaurants. Once you get to the rib house and walk in you are shocked to see that all the waitresses are scantily dressed. You attempt to walk out, especially since you are a vegetarian, but a gorgeous guy runs over to you and introduces himself as Jack. He asks you if you are Linda and you nod yes. He then escorts you over to a table he has already been sitting at.
The entre has not yet been served. His idea of an enlightened conversation is who will be in the final four. You are not into sports, but you listen politely hoping he will change the topic of conversation soon. When he doesn't change the topic, but he pauses to catch his breath, you quickly begin talking about your job and how much you enjoy it.
You are so bored you begin thinking of how you could make as polite an exit as possible. Jack is a sweet guy and you two could be friends but you really don't see thing going much beyond friendship. He seems to be very interested in you though, and you are happy that at least guys still find you attractive.
Now imagine a date with someone you met through internet dating and have been chatting online with and exchanging emails with for quite some time.
With on-line dating, you already know each other pretty well if you have been conversing for a while. When you do finally meet, you meet at a restaurant where the food is complementarily to both your tastes. You talk and laugh and are truly happy to be finally meeting after 2 months of conversing.
You both know a lot about the other before you meet. You both enjoy beaches. You both love travel and children. Neither one of you is a couch potato, and you both have extroverted personalities. Your first physical meeting is a great success for both of you.
On-line dating usually works much better than blind dating. With blind dating know nothing about one another except that you are both "attractive people". With on-line dating you are already "friends" before you physically meet.
Which scenario is better for you?
