Blind date

[LizzieBelle]

Hi Everyone, I could do with some advice please.

I have a blind date arranged for me in the New Year, and I am up for it having been single for 3 years (kids now aged 17 & 20) My problem is, I don't think he has any family around as he spent Xmas in the pub. Does anyone else think this is odd?? Do you think I should go ahead with this date, or does it sound like he is a bit of a waif and stray?? He works and has a house and money (same as me) but would you go and do the date or not entertain the idea???

I'm stuck without anyone to talk about this!!! I would appreciate any thoughts from you lovely helpful gals!

how do you know he spent the day in the pub? Who has set up the blind date? I think I'd go and see how we get on anyway and find out a bit more about it. You never know unless you try? Although yes a bit weird to spend all day in the pub but there maybe a reason why.

Maybe he spent xmas in the pub with his family? i know people who do that.

It wouldn't necessarily put me off, I'd go and see what I thought. But then a recent thread did out me as a "pub drinker"

Hi girls,

Thanks for responses! I know he spent the day at the pub, as I am friends with a person who works there. The point is, do I need to get in with a 'pub drinker' as I have good family roots myself. I am not a 'pub go-er' - I prefer other things to do in my life. Oh I just don't know! It would be so nice to have a boyfriend to go out with!

Isn't the point ot a blind date that you go out and then find out what sort of person he is and whether you'd like to see him again?

You are not agreeing to marry him! Go have fun (or not) and then if you like him so out again.

Don't stress

He may stop going to the pub so much if he has something better to do ie see you!

Did your mate say he got slaughtered, swore at everybody and passed out? if so, that's not so great. If he was just there having a few drinks then fine IMO.

I don't think you should meet him as you are judging him completely unfairly.
