Today, I went on a blind date that my best friend had set up for me. When I arrived, I introduced myself and we sat at the table. After we ordered our food, he asked the waiter for some crayons and a kid's menu, and colored for the half hour before our food came. He didn't talk to me at all. FML

Today, I went on a blind date, even though the whole concept freaks me out a bit. My date showed up with his sister, who sat at our table and critiqued everything we did, from how I chewed my food, to the way we nervously laughed. He hardly said a word the whole time. FML

How did it go?

Today, I went on a blind date set up by my best friend. When I got there, my "date" was my ex. My best friend knew, and she thought it would be "funny" to see how we would react. FML

Classic blunder

Today, I went on a blind date that my friend set up at a coffee shop. I arrived early, feeling nervous but excited. As I sat waiting, I noticed a person waving at me from across the room. I smiled and waved back, only to realize that they were actually waving at someone behind me. My date never showed up. FML

Today, I went on a blind date. All my date would talk about was how he was 'really his own best friend'. FML

Today, I went on a blind date. Not only I had already been on a date with the guy before, we'd also had both forgotten about it until halfway through the dinner. FML

Today, I went on a blind date that my friend set up for me. It was going pretty good, then he said he was going to go out to smoke. 10 minutes went by and he still hadn't come back. I called my friend and she said he doesn't smoke. FML

Today, I went on a blind date. My date spent the whole time at the restaurant on his phone and didn't even try to show interest. Thankfully I'll never have to deal with this individual ever again. FML

Today, I was sitting in the restaurant waiting for my blind date to come. I had sat for an hour until I finally got fed up and went to leave when at the same time the guy at the table next to me stood up to leave too. I noticed he had been sitting alone. Turns out he was my date. FML

Today, I had a blind date that my friend set me up for. My date was the ugliest, most disgusting person you will ever meet, but I thought that I would give him a chance. He saw me, eyed me up and down, then said to my friend, "You're kidding, right?" FML

How about starting a conversation next time - it doesn't always have to be the guy who chats YOU up, you know...

wow your friend is a loser. I'm pretty sure going on a date with a preschooler is illegal in all 50 states.

I guess he will post it on MLIA saying that you did the same thing and that you are his soulmate.

That's probably what the guy was going for...except he tried too hard to be "cute" and didn't pay attention to his date. Biggest. Poser. Ever.

YDI - there's a difference between dating younger men and robbing the cradle. Your first clue should have been meeting at Chuck-e-Cheese.

Yeah those kinds of writing mistakes are often overlooked by the human eye since our brain just skips over words like "of," "in," "and," "so," etc. The brain often reads the context clues around the word and just automatically fills in the pieces wothout reading the actual word, so the OP's mistake rarely gets caught at first glance. It's interesting what our brain does without thinking about it.
