Blind dates!

[HalfDzed]

Anybody been on these things? A friend is setting me up with some out of town trick he keeps insisting I should meet.

Flowers? Or a simple hand-shake? Who hell invented this shit anyway?

[Monk-of-Mogadishu]

I've never dated anything other than my hand so I can't really give you field advice but I'll say what common sense dictates; you probably should never, in any case, ever give flowers to a girl on the first date. A handshake should do. If the girl is Somali or Black then she's going to be the one doing all the talking so all you have to do is wait it out until the date is over, give it an hour and she'll text you. Game over.

[HalfDzed]

Aright, man. Good looking out.

[Afraa*]

Flowers, Just cuz its a blind date doesn't mean you shouldn't be a gentleman.

[HalfDzed]

Flowers on a first date sounds mad cheesy and sissy. I asked to see how others felt about it.

A hand-shake is free and doesn't put pressure on anyone. It has nothing to do with not being a gentleman.

[Advo]

Do not do the flowers, chicks now days will automatically place u in the friend status with that move.

Instead give her that one hand hug making sure she gets a wiff of ur cologne.

[HalfDzed]

Advo,

She's from your ends. Similar field as me and all. Curious to meet a girl with some intellect. I've been meeting nothing but bone-heads and airheads lately. Major drag walahi.

You'd probably recognize her family.

Okay Lady & gentlemen....there are few things that I do not agree with on this topic....

Monk, what kind of girls have you been meeting walaal other than Ismahaan??

You said " If the girl is Somali or Black then she's going to be the one doing all the talking so all you have to do is wait it out until the date is over, give it an hour and she'll text you. Game over." What kind of girl in her right mind would blabber all night without letting him talk or letting him show her what he got? N the texting right after the date??...yo thats a desperate move, real talk!!! Take it from the pro I recommend that you stop dating Ismahaan...and get a real girl who is not desperate

Afraa, what the hell?? Why would a guy bring flowers on a first BLIND date?? Yo, thats ANOTHER desperate move, but by the guy this time....lol
-HalfDyzed, You don't know her like that? What if she doesn't like flowers at all?? What if she doesn't get interested in you??? Like Advo said....it will automatically put you in the "friend zone" and trust me if she is that "intellectual" kind of sister....you would hate yourself for doing that!! lol
btw, don't do a hand shake...I think she will recieve an arrogant vibe from you...so simply smile...open the door for her...(but definetly NOT the car door....thats just silly to me!!)...and pull out her chair! That'll work just right
Oh N I also liked the hug Advo mentioned and the reason behind it...so if u end up doing that...then drop one of the other things that I have mentioned above...you don't need to over do it!! Ya feel me?

Kadarre, What is wrong with a girl with intellect? Do you have a low self-esteem?? Do those kinds of women scare you off? Do you feel like you can't N won't be able to handle them?? Hmmm

[OliveOil]

N to answer the question, I have never been on a blind date but I have been a wing-woman before

[shidow1]

Never give flowers on the first date......and dont look weak.....remember women like bad boys....and never become mr yes...man....also try not to call her right a way.....personally i hate blind dates....

jack of all trades lol! admitting dating ONLY fardoza and giving advice on dating other humans

I'd say make an excuse this time and meet her some other time casually without your friend's involvement. Trust me, she will be more interested in u if you call off the first date. Take my word ( underscore )

This could work but watch how you do it, it could backfire on you seeing as you like her for her intellect

Who said there is something wrong with a women with intellect? Don't put words into my mouth darling. Tone down that feministic BS.

and...I dont have a low self esteem i have a high sex drive instead. . No women scares me they just put me off. Dont u think intellect gets boring but sex doesn't?

lol! i didn't see the intellect twist in the discussion! I responded to the original question. Talking about intellect, i know many guys are intimidated by smart and successful women.

personally, I'd rather call an escort than date an airhead!
