Blind dating, let's discuss
Maybe it's been because of my blind date experiences, but I haven't had much success with them and I wonder if it has to do with meeting someone, at the same time that you're supposed to have a date with them. I find myself wondering if the chemistry has to be more than it would be had you met someone already, prior to going on a date with them.
What's everyone elses' take on blind dates? Do you think that it makes things more difficult, because you haven't met initially? Or do you think that it doesn't matter if the date is blind or more "traditional" so long as there is that chemistry/connection. Maybe my opinion is simply skewed because I haven't had much luck with them.

Re: Blind dating, let's discuss
Interesting question.
I've never been on a blind date, but I don't think it would matter what type of date it was, if there's that connection, you're going to feel it.
I think with a blind date, there is some sort of "pressure" to begin with because you are set-up by friends with the intention for each other to meet and possibly try out a dating relationship. There is some sort of expectation there unlike spontaneously meeting someone somewhere.
You either have chemistry or you don?t. I do think that chemistry can either be gradual over time or it can be instant so I wouldn't always base the first date on full chemistry feeling provided that you don't see any red flags and do like the qualities you see in the person.
I met my exh on a blind date
We were set up by his sister who I worked with at the time. We had an instant connection and had a great first date... they won't always work out but sometimes they do. It didn't make anything more difficult and really wasn't a big deal.
