Blind date story: In high school, a friend set me up with one of his friends. It went OK. The guy was actually gorgeous, and his family was RICH! However, over time it became really obvious that this guy was a HUGE douchebag (can I say that here?) and his family had no intention of letting him be with me long term. Behind my back, his family set him up with a girl from another RICH family they were friends with.
Whatever. He was actually really boring, but I was a bored teenager, and the sex was good, so there it is.
I have not been on a blind date since, but not because I'm opposed to it.
I just wanted to share a story about the OTHER side of the coin: The person you are set up with is "perfect" at first glance, but over time a real dud.
Bottom line is no one is perfect. What you look for is the one who is perfect for YOU.
