Blind but Dateless

You know, I've always secretly wanted to go on a blind date. But here's the problem. In order to go on a blind date, you need a friend willing to set you up with one of their other friends. This creates multiple problems.

#1 - Your friend needs to have a SINGLE friend of the appropriate sex.
#2 - Your friend needs to believe that the person they are setting you up with is not a total loser or jerk when it comes to relationships.
#3 - Your friend needs to believe that YOU are not a total loser or jerk when it comes to relationships.
#4 - If you're such good friends with your friend, you've probably met most of their other good friends which means that either they aren't good friends with with the person they'd want to set you up with and/or they don't know a heck of a lot about that person.
#5 - Three words - bad date retaliation.

And my biggest problem....

#6 - Your friend might not like you and think you're a total idiot or that no one should be subjected to the crazy that is you.

Of course, I say all this tongue-in-cheek. I've never asked any of my friends to set me up before. And oddly enough, no one has ever even suggested it. Then again, I don't really have a big problem finding dates, either... But it still begs the question in my mind.

Eh... gotta just stop thinking about this. It only feeds my paranoia. :P
