I would go on a blind date just to use the first one.

I've done number 9, but I wasn't on a blind date and there were some drinks involved.....

I would do number 8 if I could keep a straight face

I would force mine to do Star Trek trivia the entire night.

Number 4 that would make an interesting date.

You could try a line I overheard at a party ....

"what sign are you?" 

"Gemini" 

"OH!!   No wayy man!"  and walk away

My friend went on a blind date once and the date actually did turn out to be blind, Had the white stick and everything. They never did get a second date (not on account of his disability though).

I went on one blind date when I was younger.....turned out to be a pompous bore of a guy and spent the evening telling me what a great catch he was and how all these women were after him.

A bit sad that he felt the need to do that i.e. clearly lying/overcompensating else why would he need to go on a blind date!?

All I know is - it's a bad sign when all your blind date wants to talk about are ex-love interests.  And you just listen and try to be sympathetic just to survive the night.

Yes - it's said to be a no-no to talk about exes on the first date!   Not a winning formula!

My friend who set up the blind date was a bit upset with me, but I left the club early.  He started dancing with some other girl so I snuck out.  

And then there is the moment when you realize that your matchmaking friend doesn't know you very well, or is well-meaning but clueless.

I think she was well-meaning but clueless as to this guy's personality.   

All my blind dates were also one night stands. Now I just wish I could repeat them lol.

LOL

The last blind date I was on... The woman brought two of her former boyfriends along... Talk about a weird setup... As the (short) evening progressed I had plenty of time to chat with the guys as she insisted on dancing with all of us on a rotational basis... One of the guys was actually pretty cool and we hung out together a couple times later on as we had some shared interests... Never did see her again though.... The mutual friend who set the date up was furious with her... After the weirdness of the situation wore off I just kind of shrugged and played along - thankful that I would never be on a date with her again...
