How much information do you need to accept a blind date?
Posted: 5/20/2008 4:39:51 PM
Since 99.9% of the time, I meet internet dates in a public place, I don't require much info just to meet. A picture, so I'll recognize the person, a name, and a cellphone number....that's about it. Of course, if we plan to meet again, hopefully it's because we've talked and gotten to know each other a little more in depth.

I don´t need to many informations for a blind date. I am not a virtual person. I have a real life and everything I read on my screan is a nice story to me, which I never judge, whether the story is right or wrong. I have to look in somebodys eyes to start to believe anything......so even after just one mail, I have no problems meeting someone for a coffee....there is no risk if you pick a crowded place for the first date..
If I wouldn´t take time to meet people for the first time, how would I gain new friends??

I like all the information I can get for blind dates, though I've also willingly gone on some with next to no information. As for meeting, I almost always insist that the lady pick the place. I know that I'M not a creep, but SHE has no assurance of that, other than mine. So I want us to meet in a place where she's assured of her safety and comfort.

i would think by the time you have emailed back and forth, and yes the all important recent photo, that that should be sufficient to meet the person in a public place for a drink, coffee, dinner or whatever the plan may be, if you dont know at least that much , you shouldnt be going in the first place. op? a loser, you cant categorize all ladies the same, nor can they categorize all men the same,, all to often thats what happens and we get tunnel vision, dreading that first meet, everyone is different we cant expect perfection, it doesnt exist, thats what first meeting is for, to determine if there is a potential there, nothing else. so what? you got out of the house for an hour or so didnt you? public place is a must, i insist on it,

jetlagbob,
for starters you should post a picture,I would not meet someone unless I saw some sort of photo first. I would only meet in a public place and for coffee, if it turns into lunch then you know you at least like the person you have just met. I will meet someone right away after speaking on the phone once, I only give my cell #. If it works out you make another date if not you say good bye and don't wast any more time.

I'm visual...so for sure I need a picture...
So this was either a joke or the definition or irony. All this from a woman who doesn't have a pic posted.
