Blind Date: This is completely out of order, right?

I recently went to a Blind Date event run by my University. I don't usually go to these things, but everyone was taking part because it was for charity. However, I regret going because I think the girl I was paired with behaved like a right bitch. Do you agree? And please tell me not all girls or dates are like this.

It worked like this: I fill out a form beforehand, a girl somewhere else does too, forms are swapped at (roughly) random. The girl's form says where you'll meet for the date (she chooses), so the guy goes there, and you have a Blind Date. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but although these kind of things (Speed Dating, Blind Dating, etc.) are often taken as just some lighthearted fun, without anyone really expecting to find true love, it IS at least the point of the date to go into it looking at the other person as a DATE, right?

The girl I ended up with wanted to go to a pub for the date. I couldn't contact her in time (because I hate pubs) so I just had to go there.

When I arrived I waited around for fifteen minutes after the time at which she said she'd arrive. In the corner of the pub there was a group of friends - boys and girls - all laughing and having a fun time. After those fifteen minutes, a girl sitting there got up and asked me if I was her date. We realised I was.

She'd come with all her friends, and wanted me to go sit down with them all at their table. How much more un-date-like can it get? I didn't even know these people, let alone her, and I'm meant to be Blind Dating with her? AND THEM?

I then told her I really hated pubs, so could I perhaps take her to a nice restaurant? No, sorry, she's already eaten, and she doesn't want to leave her mates. They're having a nice jolly time together, "how dare I want to split them up". Wasn't that the freakin' point though?

I said fine, I'll bare it for a while, so I go sit down. She talks to me a bit, but, like with all Blind Dates, of course there are going to be odd awkward or silent moments. Usually these are kind of cute and are got over (that's the idea), but she just acted like I was boring, and kept turning back to her friends to talk with them. She even cut off her own sentences (let alone mine) to talk to her friends whenever they laughed.

I was already wondering why I'd come. It's the girl who decides where the date will be, but she took this to mean that she was in full control because I was just a desperate loser guy who'd be dragged around anywhere for the girl's leisure.

The pub was really far away and I had to walk all the way there in the cold. She wasn't even waiting for me when I got there, and only introduced herself after fifteen minutes. She didn't want to go to a nicer place even though I said I hated pubs. She'd even brought her friends along so it wasn't even a date. And she didn't even talk to me, she talked to them. Isn't that horrible? It's not like I was going to go to the pub anyway, I never go to pubs, but I came for HER, because we were meant to have a DATE!

She may not have taken it seriously at all, but I think it was completely out of order to be SO flippant considering she was making ME come to her. And hadn't she even considered that the GUY might be taking it more seriously even if she wasn't? To top it off she was fat and ugly, but a ridiculous socialite. "Social Secretary" of her college. No wonder.

I pretended I had a headache and left, and got myself a McDonalds.

Well, what do you expect really, it's all just a bit of charitable fun. I passed, but some of my friends went (I take it this is the RAG Blind Date we're talking about?), and not all of them are even single...I don't think they told their bfs though...

I absolutely agree. What an absolute horrible meanie!! I hate the way you were seen as the one was desperate for a date and could be just "put anywhere" and you'd be happy. She could have at least had some respect for the fact that you both equally signed up for something that was supposed to be pretty equal. To be so unappreciative and rude, I'd hope she never gets a REAL date. :mad:

Better luck next time, axios! And no, not all girls are like that :wink:

What do I expect? I dont know, appreciation? Okay it was for charity, but that's besides the point. Seen as it was HER making me go there, she REFUSED a nicer place, and it was SO far and SO cold, only to ignore me!!!??? Yuck.

Idiot, he wasn't expecting 'a shag', he was just expecting a person not a demon.

I never knew that charity meant you had to be an ignored doormat. :rolleyes:

How dare you. I was expecting her to talk to me and recognise that I'd come all that way for her. Not just ignore me.

What will this teach me!?
That there are now not one, but two complete bitches out there?

Thanks, sexy minx michelle.

Sorry! Maybe I didn't read it quite so thouroughly as I should have :s. I think that ok, the OP has a point, and it wasn't fair on him, but still, unfortunately, if you sign yourself up for these sorta things, you've got to expect the odd demonic type...

Sounds like you pulled the short straw. Maybe you should have made an effort to get to know her friends.

Arrrgh! What is WRONG with you? You've already proved to us on your thread that you're a bit of a nympho, but not everyone else in the world is, you know.
