Blind Date vs Internet Date

Your friend has decided that you need help with your social life so they set you up with a blind date….a friend of a friend of a friend. You, foolishly, accept. Now there you are. It’s less than one hour since you were introduced.

You are sitting in a Thai restaurant and you hate Thai food. The entrée has not yet been served. There idea of enlightened conversation is the weather They know the weekly TV schedule verbatim….you haven’t sat through a movie in months because you run marathons and volunteer at the local food bank.

They Say, “Volunteering is a waste of time because you can’t help ‘those people’ anyway.”

You look at your watch; see that it’s only been 10 minutes since you last looked at it the last time and wonder how long it is before you can gracefully remove yourself from the situation. Been there?

Now imagine a date with someone you met through internet dating and have been chatting online with and exchanging emails with for quite some time. First, you don’t need to be introduced. You already know this man. You are sitting in an Italian restaurant enjoying a delightful meal because you both know that the other’s favorite is Italian. The conversation flows easily as you discuss common interests. He runs marathons and loves history just like you do. You happily discuss the volunteer work that each of you is involved in. You look at your watch and discover that it is late…very late…where Has the time gone.

There is a big difference between a well-intentioned friend “setting you up” and choosing a man for yourself who shares your interests and tastes, isn’t there? Now which one would you rather have?
