Blind Dates

So I thought that I would post this blog post from my husbands blog and see how many comments I could get about this specific subject. I love the way my husband writes he is sooo good! Everything he writes about on his blog makes me laugh. I wish that I was able to write the way he does. I hope that everyone who reads this blog gets a good laugh, because most of us have been in these situations of being set up on a blind date before. I have to say though, blind dates actually do work. My husband and I met on a blind date, not thinking that it would work out, but eventually it did. In the end, it did take me a lot of blind dates to find the one who I did marry. I never liked blind dates until I was set up with the right person. So here it is!

First Dates Suck (written by Chris Dayley)

So...

A while ago I was set up on a blind date by one of my buddies, who typically had good taste in women and whom I thought I could trust to set me up on a legit date. We masterfully crafted a date that was sure to woo any girl, and which was geared around spending a lot of 'quality' one-on-one time with our dates. (What we actually did was jack some peoples paddle boats and paddle around one of those lakeside neighborhoods.)

Welllllll, I wouldn't classify myself as a 'shallow' guy, I just know what I like, and it didn't take long to figure out that I was not going to be calling this girl again. Probably about 12 seconds. Nevertheless, I was committed to being a fun date, so I wasn't rude or anything. We had planned a movie first so we could get some cuddle on. Well I certainly couldn't be so cruel as to not cuddle with my date when everyone else was, so we cuddled and enjoyed the movie.

Anyways, to make a long story short, we had a fun date but as predicted, I never called the girl again. This is where the story starts to suck. Well, like 3 years later, (like a month ago) I had that same buddy who had set me up with that girl come up to Utah to visit me. He said he had some girls up here we could visit so I of course obliged and we went to visit them. How surprised was I when some random girl that I didn't know came up and hugged me and said "Hey Chris! I haven't seen you in forever!". Awwwwwwkward. I had no idea who she was. Well, my friend reminded me that it was that girl he had set me up with years ago. Like a punch to the mouth I recalled the date and laughed at the unthinkably small chances that I would ever run into this girl again, let alone hundreds of miles from where I had taken her out.

Maybe we were destined to be wed? WRONG. I spent most of the night glued to my friend, and tried not to make it awkward. Anyways, this is why I hate first dates. I can usually tell within the first 30 seconds if it is gonna work out or not, and if it doesn't, boy it can suck if you ever see that person again!
