would you go on a blind date?

[binsbins]

ever since i broke up with my boyfriend, about five months ago, my friends keep trying to set me up with people (mostly their classmates, some coworkers)

i'm not sure how i'd feel about it tbh. i haven't given it much thought so far because i'm not looking for a relationship right now either way, but even if i was, i don't know if i'd be comfortable going on a date with someone i've never met :u

how do you feel about blind dates? have you ever been on one? is it common in your culture?

[Tickle Star]

Maybe

[Ego ista]

Sure why not

[IKKY]

Never been on one and don't think it's something I'd do. I like it when things naturally.

[Cheese_it]

you can give it a try 

[Pirine]

Ive never been on one. Though im not completely opposed to the idea.

Also my friends would never even think to try and set me up with someone, I think you have better friends than me lmao

[where my hood unnies at]

nope

[Ddeona Oneul Bame]

OFC not~

[Joysa]

I'm really shy and awkward in person, I don't think I can do it. 

[tang]

Its kinda common here, I don't think it's a big deal tbh. Trying wouldn't hurt

[coward]

Sure, why not? I've had friends who did Internet dating and it's kinda the sane thing. I have another friend who does the "it's just lunch" thing and had good comments about it. I could see myself doubt something like that.

[Rojen]

If it's someone close to a friend I prefer to hang out all together with 3-4 more people and then date if we are interested in each other, blinds dates are too awkward and straightforward to me

[Thigh-high feminist]

Depends on the person offering to set up the date.

[Róisín Dubh]

nah, I'd feel too anxious and wouldn't enjoy the date

[juu]

why don't you meet in a group with your friends? that would be less awkward

[Doc Noir]

It entirely depends on you whether you're at least a little bit comfortable about it. It's not that common in my culture, even if a friend "recommends" you someone they acquaint you before going on an actual date. I haven't personally done it, but I say go for it for the overall experience; you're going to meet a new person that you might like either romantically or as a friend. 

[ChungJoJo]

why not, i wanna go out and meet new people.

[Insane]

I've never been in a blind date and don't feel comfortable with the idea of going out with a stranger. It's not just something that goes with my personality

lol it might just be a cultural thing tho, or the fact that 90% of my friends are in relationships lmao

idk, i'd feel more awkward in a group tbh

because the rest of the group would know it's a set up lol then it'd just be a blind date with a live audience which sounds terrifying imo

i guess it depends on the personality of the person in question tho, i can see how that might help some people

lmao maybe, though I wish my friends would do it for me cause they know some attractive guys 

[WenSuelRene]

No, I'd rather not go out with a random stranger  

[No.1]

no. my aunt wanted to set me up with her friend's son for some reason but no i'm not that desperate 

[Anthropology]

Maybe. If I'm desperate, then I'll try it as long as my friends are the ones who are setting me up with a date.

[Suzy Quatro]

Maybe... the idea of it might be fun and exciting but I would be afraid of everything being awful in practice, but whatever I think there is where the thrill lies. From my nature I'm not very keen on taking that type of 'risks' without having any type of control about whom I'm meeting so I would just hope for my friends acutally trying to set me up with someone nice they genuinely think I can get along with.

[layixings]

nope i will feel awkward around strangers
