Ive never been on a blind date before. I constantly hear horror stories about them. The funniest story I ever heard was a friend rocking up at a blind date and his date had rocked up with 2 of her kids , that he wasnt told about. Her excuse…she couldn’t find a baby-sitter. Terrible.
The Setup
I was at a birthday party on saturday where I met Kathrine. After some time chatting and admitadly a few beers she started telling me about her friend. She was adamant Erin and I would get along like a house on fire. She asked , no demanded, that I giver her my number so she would set it up.
The only description she gave was that she was more “veloptuos” than her.
I thought this could be interesting. Worst case scenario I end up with a terrible tale that I could tell at dinner parties, grand kids or at dates.
I gave her my numer and that was that.
3 Days later I get an sms from Erin:
“Hey Sir Peter, 
i got your number from Kat..she told me we should meet..How do you feel about that? Cherio Erin”
The Sir thing is part of a routine I always use. I introduce myself to everyone I meet as Sir. yeah I know, amazingly people are quite complient, calling me Sir even after finding out my real name.
I replied “Oh hi, Your Kat’s Crazy friend. She said you were nuts! Sure I’d like to meet. Id like to add you to my collection of crazy people .”
She later replied ” No im not crazy At alll! Shall we have drinks at Mojitos Tomorrow 7:30. ”
Blade: ”Sure, what do you look like so I can regonise you..”
Erin: ” Tall P.blonde and you? ”
Blade: ” Short Fat and Bald….Like Danny De Vito”
First of all I prefer SMS exchanges, they are low pressue, you can take your time to word your reply. Gives you time to come up with witty remarks if your not sharp.
Secondly I knew that Kat had probably given her a description of what I looked like, so giving her the whole Danny Devito Schpiel only communicates that im not that concered with trying to initially impress her. besides I thought she was kidding with that Tall Platinum Blonde crap.
The Preparation
Got home from work took a shower and took a couple seconds to pick out what I was gonna wear for this experiment. Nothing crazy flashy. clean golf-t with cargo pants. She hadnt yet given me a reason to break out sundays best. Plus this was a casual drink. Made sure I smelt good as per standard.
I headed out with as little expectations as possible.
If shit went pear shaped, like she was dude waiting for a sex transplant surgery, a real Jerry Springer candidate, I would simply finish my drink thank her for comming and GTFO of there like a bat outa hell.
The Meeting
I got to the cafe at exactly 7:30 and ordered a cocktail. She was late.
at 10 minutes late I sent her an SMS:
Blade: “..I’ve already ordered a cocktail, if you are any later you might have to carry me home.”
3 minutes later this tall platinum blonde walks in through the cafe door. It was Erin.
The Date
Erin was a couger. Mid 30s, big friendly smile with a dutch (Holland not Boland) accent.
I dodged a bullet on the looks front *whew*. I could stick around long enough to finish a plate of nachos.
We indulged in some small talk, talked about the US elections. The loved the fact that Obama had won.
She teased me a little about agreeing to go on a blind date setup by someone she didnt know. I replied by telling her that getting to know people was like a science to me.
The evening so far was going well, she was very smart with a great sense of humor, well traveled and probably went out more than I did. She she didnt take herself too seriously and wasnt afraid to get cocky with me.
It was time to Bounce ( move to another venue ). I took her to my fav hang out Neighbourhood. She mentioned she loved phoose-ball so we played a little. This went on for sometime. I then moved her to couches to take a look at photos of her trip to Cuba.
The end of the night
After dancing it was time to head home. I lived nearby so I joking told her when is she taking me home.
The goodnight kiss lasted about 20 – 30 mins. what is it with dutch girls and too much tounge!?
all in all a pleasant experience. perhaps i got lucky. would i do it again, yeah I would. BUT
There really isn’t a need to. All im saying is, you might be pleasantly suprised.
