Whack idea of bloggers setting up blind dates

Labels: IDK what to label this

So the past couple times I have went out to hang at bars there has been a couple there that was on their first blind date. It started the last game of the NBA finals. Every freaking bar in NYC was packed and we headed out right as the game was starting, so the chances of getting a seat anywhere were pretty slim. We finally decided that there is no way Dave & Buster's would be packed. We got there just in time to squeeze into the last couple seats at the bar to watch the game. I was sitting next to this spanish guy who was having a drink alone. We started chatting and he told me he was waiting on his date. It was their first time going out and a mutual friend set them up. Low and behold a black chick walks in...lol. I know me and my friends probably ruined their first date because we were loud yelling at the TV, and still talking to them all the while. Hell it was a bar, everybody talks to everybody.

Now I have been to Hudson River Cafe, and a couple other places since where I have been sitting next to couple on their first blind date. I never ever thought that I could do it. I would never do one of those dating sites either... but I thought it might be fun to have my blog fam set it up. Then I said nevermind and came to my senses because the whole idea is just weird to me but I still wanted to share how whacky my mind works just in case anyone else wants to be the guinea pig, and tell about the journey on their blog.

So here is how I was thinking it would work.

1. Blogger posts characteristics of the type of guy/gal he/she likes
2. Readers comment with a brief description of a guy/gal they know in the area they feel would be a perfect match
3. Blogger decides which of those people he/she would like to go on a blind date with
4. Reader alert their friend but doesn't make them aware of the person's blog. (Just in case the date is a nightmare we don't want the person to read about how bad it was after)
5. Couple goes on blind date
6. Blogger writes about how it went

So whose in for trying it? I damn sure ain't... but it might be fun for others in the blogosphere!

HAPPY HOUR TONIGHT AT COVO... HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!!!
