[Blindtlk] Blindness and Singleness

[Mark Tardif]

I went on a blind date once, but with a sighted woman.  But I think I was 
blind to an immediate personality clash, and it all went wrong.

There's been a lot of really good advice already.  I just wanted to add in
one more possibility for you.

I met my current husband on a blind date.  Yes, I hear you all laughing, but
it's true!  A good friend of mine was convinced that I should meet this guy.

I was resistant.  I wasn't too interested in dating at the time but she was
very persistent that I meet him.  In the end she invited me to go out for
the evening with her, once I agreed, she casually mentioned that he was
coming too.   Not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings, I decided to go along
and just have fun.  That was 11 years ago now.

Have you mentioned to your friends/family that you are interested in dating?

Perhaps someone knows someone who is also looking for a partner and would be
willing to introduce you.  The first date could be with both couples, which
I think takes some of the stress off.  With four people someone always has
something to say, so I never felt those awkward pauses in the conversation.

Does your church have a singles group? or a college group?  Those might also
be places to meet people.

I guess my point is that you don't have to go it alone.  there are people
who would be happy to help you meet people or point you in a direction.   Be

clear with what you want and don't be afraid to let others know.

Julie
