only 3 blind dates?That definitely didn't work. A lot of people I know tried countless blind dates.It's not easy to find the right one,hence,to try more will help.

I know people this has happened to, the person they finally met was nice looking and had a good job and was really nice but they in their mind were expecting something different so they were "turned off"
I couldn't have said it better myself.

I think that most people have a preset image of what the person is going to look like when they meet.
My biggest shock was the man who had no arms.. He had prosthetic 'hooks' and when he asked 'aren't you going to ask me?' I didn't know what to say..

Well that sort of surprise could be easily avoided if both parties have a webcam. At least you know what they look like.

I married a blind date. It lasted 12 years. Lots of fun until the last two years.

I only went on 4 blind dates in my life, one turned out to be married which i only learned as we were driving past him and she screamed absinities at him from the window of the car. One was a psycho that I won't go into detail about but it really irratated me that my friends thought we'd be a good match. One was an easy 300lbs had 3 inches on me and I beleive just wanted a buddy to go with her to the all you can eat places. The last one was the daughter of someone I worked with, boy was that a long night.
None of these were through the internet just friends fixing me up. My opinion on the internet is if your not dating material where you live well.......

I'll do better and give you TWO specific reasons I didn't like my blind date:
1) He talked way too much about his ex, and went into EXPLICIT detail about sex with her.
2) After speaking about his ex for so long, he wanted to talk about the two of us marrying and settling down.

Give us something SPECIFIC about why you did not like the people you meet in a blind date.
Were they really interested oe was this just something they did to get people off their back?
