So would I soulmate
Hang, I am a guy

two afibs with blondie i doubt if we can keep up lol

true, but no harm in trying

blondieee
love is blind lol

blind dates are scary to me due to my past.
id go to a blind date if im sure the person is a female. looks dont matter to me much if the woman is amazing in her personality/interests/mindset.
im just worried if i go there and theres a guy interested in me would end up in an awkward situation as i have zero interest in guys and i dont like hurting people for no reason.

No need for dice, it will be you first

admirable honesty

Well, it would be a shame to waste the evening as you went to so much trouble!

i am so sure of that blondie laughing silly till someone gives me a straight jacket

a year?
I have to get a wiggle on, off to work

will check on those soon thanks

Thanks again everyone for all the replies. When you do decide to meet someone from a dating site, the first meeting you expect to be fairly brief if you both live local, maybe a meet and greet over a cup of coffee, so either one of you could decide not to take it any further. That could be the same whether they have a photo or not. I would take the risk of a Blind date if the email communications between us was good.

So? They don't have to upload a photo online, although I do find that weird, but they could send it to my Gmail...
Not wanting to give their email address, no excuse either. I don't give out my private email, but I have set up a Gmail account for dating sites, Ebay, Amazon etc. Doesn't give anyone any detail at all cos the name I use for that Gmail account is fake.
So I don't find it understandable to not send a photo. It would mean I'd have to take the risk to meet some freak.
Work I don't regard as an excuse either. What's wrong with looking for a partner? I don't know any dating site apart from Mingle that lets you see photos and read profiles without signing up yourself. So it's pretty safe.

I had a friend years ago who was blind.
As you know they see someone by touch.
He went on a date with a girl and the next day I asked him how did it go?
He said, it was the most horrific book he'd ever read!

Seeing my dating history since I've been a member of Mingle2. I probably have a better chance of getting a date if she were blind.

Me to scoob

As some people here said, every first date with an online person is technically a blind date. :)

And if you think about it , once we take the necessary safety precautions, and dont invest excessive money on a first date, we dont have that much to lose in the grand scheme of things .

Even if the date turns out to be a jerk, its not like we are there to accept a marriage proposal or have babies with them at that point :)

What matters more to me therefore, is how people treat each other on their blind date , especially when the other person doesnt meet their expectations.

I have heard some people applauding themselves for walking out on dates they deemed unattractive, or continuing the date with snickering or cold silence ,or even reacting nastily if a date they deemed attractive , politely refused their kiss at the end , or refused the offer of a second date.

All of us are human and we wont always react perfectly when we are disappointed , but it turns my stomach to hear people describe their impolite behavior towards their dates with laughter or pride.

Thats why it might be helpful to mentally prepare for the worst on a date, and maintain a commitment to be kind to our dates, even if we feel compelled to end it politely after an hour due to an "emergency"

How we treat our dates when we are disappointed, says way more about our character than it says about the impression our dates have made on us.

I believe there are many valid reasons for members wishing to maintain anonymity on a dating site by not posting a photo, all because some people wish to maintain their privacy I don't see that as weird, and few people are prepared to give out personal contact information until they have met up in my opinion. Using an alternative Gmail address would probably be a good suggestion to give them to receive a photo, but you might receive more photos of them than you really wanted.
