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

I don't see how this is necessarily a bad thing....

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

"Today, I went on a blind date my friend set me up on. After ordering my food, I requested crayons and a kids menu and started coloring while we waited for our food. All she did was stare at me. New favorite game? I think so. MLIA" Your "friend" should have told you about that part of the guy he was setting you up with. I'm 21 and still color, but I'm not going to completely ignore who I'm with, and I certainly wouldn't do it on a BLIND date with someone you could possibly be learning more about. That's just stupid of him. I would have ordered a bunch of expensive things and then 'excused' myself to sneak out and back home.

clever plan actually. nice move there, guy.

Three possible outcomes: 1. You join him coloring, you have fun together, the ice is broken and you're off to a fun and memorable start. 2. You don't join him, but you find it interesting or whimsical. 3. You don't join him, and you don't like that he's doing it. All three scenarios are good for him. In the first two, you like him more because of it, and in the third, he finds out immediately that you're boring and stuck-up and that he's better off without you. It's a brilliant move, really.

Sorry, but coloring is not permissible on a first date. Six months in, sure go ahead...but you still pay attention to your bf or gf! But on a first date, you should be giving the person sitting across the table your undivided attention. Would you color during a job interview or when first meeting your SO's parents?

YDI for sitting out the whole date. I would have left after 5 min.

He probably acted like a retard on purpose. He did not want to be on that date with you once he got there. That is a good way to get you to NOT be interested. However, YDI for sitting there. You must be desperate to sit through a whole dinner and not ahve enough respect for yourself to get up and leave. What he did was rude and obvious. He knew it, you knew it (and now we know it). Yet you stayed. Why? Because you must have felt desperate to try to make something work that clearly wasn't meant to happen. I bet you're awaiting his phone call right now. Get some respect for yourself. There are more fish in the sea.

Did he talk to you after the food came? Come on, there's gotta be more to this story.

Sounds like Sheldon (big bang theory) :)
