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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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
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. Ten 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

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.

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.
