The other night, a co-worker went on a blind date with a man that she "met" via an online match service. Everyone had given her advise, meet in a public place, have someone you know at that same place just in case, etc. She followed the advise, meeting at a local restaurant with two friends eating at the same place. The next day we were all eager to hear how the date had gone from her perspective. He was not as good looking as his online photo had indicated (no surprise there as photoshop can do amazing things and who doesn't want to look their best) but what really surprised her was how mild-mannered he was in person. Not her type she said but still a nice guy who just did not know how to be himself around women. "I felt more manly than him." but she still thought that she could be friends with him as he wasn't a jerk and that was what she had feared the most.
Despite the somewhat disappointing date, she plans to continue using online means to try and find someone with whom she will find that magic chemistry that we all hope to find.
