PING!
Your “friend” didn’t show you a photo of her sister? That’s a real red flag.
Dating apps are only good for hookups. It is far better to know a person in general to witness their personal conduct overall.
I think the article below about the guy who decided to leave via the upper floor window in a high rise explains all this.
I had a blind date once. I had to help her cross the street and order food for her.
Cause she was blind. Never again I said!
You don’t need a computer or app to get a date, all you have to do is learn to talk and take the initiative. The more you do it the better you get and it makes the date easier rather than just flat out meeting someone you never saw before and going through the motions like a job interview. Oh God, that is the worst “What do you do for a living....Oh this weather lately” AAAAARRRHGHHH! Above all else avoid democrats.
Met #3 on the web. It was through a work site. I installed a new door and she was so happy with it she asked me to marry her.
Kinda. ;^)
Has to be in person, in my job I meet a lot of nice guys and dated a few.
I went on a blind date. She wasn’t my type so I told her I was a garbage man. Her eyes went blank and she never said another word to me the rest of the night. Not even bye.
She was just “big boned”?

My parents met on a blind date in 1943, at the end of which mother proclaimed to her GF that she was going to marry that man. She did, of course, and they stayed married until her death 30 years ago last Tuesday.
OTOH, I would NEVER suggest a blind date today under any circumstances.
The trick is to meet up at the pre agreed upon date location.....preferably well lit and a lot of people around.
If it goes sideways you just hit your car and jam out...that way there’s less chance of stalking as she doesn’t know where you live.
Think Craigslist transaction scenario.
Computer Dating Is a Really BAD Idea
My name is Debbie....................
it really isn’t funny any more
She looks like Laz hit it.
I don’t know, I like my computers, but I don’t think I would ever want to date it.
Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn’t with computer dating. It’s always been that way since the beginning of time.
When I was in my early 20s I went with some friends and acquaintances to a bar/restaurant in manhattan. Was in town for work but heck I was young and padded a few days for myself. At that age and in those those days NYC was was fun. Being young, we got smashed drunk. Met a beautiful buxom redhead. We got along ok at the table so I invited her to my work dinner event the next evening. She was very pleased to accept. She excused herself to use the loo. A minute later I had to use the loo so I went downstairs. The lighting downstairs was much better than in the bar and suddenly she was not as attractive as I had thought. And, she was on the pay phone. She didn’t see me but I saw her, and heard her. She was talking to her mother about this great guy she met who invited her for dinner the next night. So I used the loo, and on my way out she was still on the phone and saw me and smiled. I winked at her, went upstairs, straight out the bar and into a cab.
I still feel bad about that but the whole night was filled with poor judgement. Hopefully she’s happily married with grandkids. Just not mine.
