I am the same (or was back during the ice age when I was dating), however, I can have a conversation with anyone. It comes to me as easy as breathing. For those who feel awkward on a first date, that can make one “get in their own head” and hinder free flow exchange of words or make one really frightened of silences.
 
My worst first date was when a friend wanted to fix me up with her new boyfriend’s buddy. She now lived about 45 minutes away from me, this was way pre internet, so I’d never met her boyfriend.

I go over to her house that evening, boyfriend and buddy arrive, it was gruesomely apparent she failed to tell either of them that I have dwarfism. Poor guy, kinda redneckish, he was so uncomfortable, he mummered answers and after dinner ran out as if he were an on call neurosurgeon.

She thought it would be fun to surprise him. It was not.
 
My friend that set us up did not tell her what I looked like. I found out before we went on the date and I made him send her a picture. I don’t know why friends think blind dates are cool. They’re not.
 
Based on prior experience, my first question would involve asking her if she’s done discerning convent…

Probably best to get drunk and lary and start ranting about politics, and debating fine theological hairs. You are taking her to CAF for your date aren’t you? Good. So I’d start with discussing the modesty of her outfit. That always goes well. And if you are going for a meal, insist that the waiter feeds you and you receive the entire meal on the tongue.

Also, make sure she wears a veil and ask if Michael Voris can chaperone…
 
Sigh. Isnt that the point of a blind date, to get to knoe someone? If you are not attracted to the person, then its okay, then no second date. The point is, you tried and that’s good. Well duh, a blind date IS awkward. Lets stop pretending it isnt. First timss are awkward. Thats just the reality. First day on the job, in class, to learn a new skill, het to know an acquaintance.

People spend so much time talking about their bad blind dates or whatnot without even considering how the other party thought of them. I do not see why there is a need to be passive aggressive or snarky in this thread. Finding a life partner is already hard in itself. Do not add insult to injury to those who are sincerely seeking and trying. Thata why sometimes i hate hanging out here because of the negativity.

Hi Finn,
I noticed a lot of light-hearted humor and comradery on this thread. I scrolled back through and I’m not sure what you’re referring to. If you’re struggling in dating, I’m sorry. 😔 Sometimes the only way to get through a tough or awkward situation is to laugh about it and make light of it, after all, we are only human. We often dont know the reasons for how people act, and perhaps Jesus does this so we are purified and seek to concern ourselves with His opinion alone, His truth.
 
I am the sort who enjoys meeting new people, doing new things, we come in all sorts!
 
I’d rather know ahead of time that someone would actually agree to go out with me rather than waste my time and money trying to have a conversation with someone who would be anywhere else.

A first date can still be about getting to know one another and see if you’re a match.
