When I was a young lad I set up my cousin to go on a blind date. He had been dating a girl who turned out to be mean (treated him poorly). He had broken up with her but said, "If I don't find another girl soon, I'll end up going back to her." I was dating a nice girl and he wanted to know if she had a sister. I said, "yes, and she doesn't have a boy friend." So, I set things up for a double date.
The bottom line: They liked each other, got married and raised 3 great kids.
As for myself, I don't recall ever going on a blind date.
Oops, yes, I did go on a blind date but nothing ever came of it. She was not a talker and I am not either, so it was a job trying to keep things going. Have you ever tried to have a conversation when the other person never says anything? Also, she was a drinker and I am not. So we were not a good match.
