This post is really to brag that I had a great blind date last night (thanks you know who) - but it made me wonder who else has met someone they've never even seen a picture of, have hardly spoken to/memo'd, and know v little about? All I knew were a few clues - medium or tall, athletic, bright & trusted within IC, apparently single
Standing outside a pub door, wondering who was going to walk up to me was intense - I was gobsmacked when X arrived, spent a really enjoyable time yelling at each other in the pre-xmas crush and can't stop smiling now

I have met plenty of people, thankfully all have come away scarred for life, mentally  But in a VERY good way.  Think Blue_Toes was one of the best, as all I had to go on was a brown jumper and tall hehe He has had a lot of eye widening moments since,.. and he is one of so many who have reported back to me their kind words of guidance -I guess- I have given them.
All it takes is one peson to give a little of their time to show the people they meet are not BAD freaks, but normal freaks, just like the rest of us A rose by any other name has thorns that will still make you bleed. | |

Met some one off here but at reading station for a coffee... then spent the afternoon getting drunk in the pub. I think the bugger still got my knickers... dont think its a good idea to ask his current sub if he still has them Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile! Edited 21 Dec 07, 10:23 AM by twisted_kitty | |

While it wasn't exactly a blind date..I did only have a picture to go on prior to a meeting for coffee in Sheffield train station with Miss Anna. As far as she was concerned I was the least promising sub who she was meeting and almost called it off a few days before. Then as if things couldn't get worse, upon meeting she didn't believe the things I said were genuine seeing as they were so similar to how she thought. Fast-forward several months and I've fallen in love with the most amazing person - totally randomly - and I've never been happier. Miss Anna and kitten continue to flourish and I've only got IC to thank and perhaps some perseverance on her behalf.

When I was dating I rarely wanted to see a photo. It somehow seemed to make the process more exciting.

I've met people that I haven't seen a picture of. It's pretty scary. I'm not very hard to spot so they usually find me luckily! I always try and meet people early, so there is less expectation to get on wonderfully. www.brightonfab.com www.fetiqueuk.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhKU-tmSQR8 | |

I've met people without a picture. I find someone's self description is always more reliable than a photo which may or may not be representative of them on the day. They describe things that you should be looking out for, which you might miss in a still picture. And yes I've met (and shagged) people with very little knowledge of who they are, what they do, what they like etc. Sometimes drink was involved, sometimes it wasn't. http://desocialized.com/ Edited 21 Dec 07, 11:26 AM by Rhoobarb | |

Have met some wonderful people but all have supplied pics, l tend to require proof of age before meeting anyone, its always exciting meeting someone for the first time, but due to several arkward (and l am being polite here) "vanilla" dates l do require at least a pic, although it has to be said more then once the person did not resemble there pic, although not always a bad thing. guess it may have been said about me too, as we all try to present ourself's to the best of our ability....
You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.... | |

I met someone very recently without seeing a photo first ... I am still very much smiling and am jolly glad i went! multi sunt vocati,pauci vero electi aka boobookittyfuck .... the little scratch on the roof of your mouth that would heal if only you could stop tonguing it, but you can't. | |

I much prefer to see a photo first as it means unpleasant surprises are less likely. Although, I did meet an IC chap a few months ago not having seen a picture. I spotted him from his description of himself. Only politeness stopped my from walking on by. |
