Before my favorite midget friend moves, she is insistent that I meet a friend of her's and her husband. It's a fixup. I am not interested. I hate blind dates or friends trying to fix me up for a multitude of reasons but by far the biggest reason is...I always hate the person my friends think I will like. I don't want to hurt my friend's feelings. I don't want to hurt the blind date's feelings. But I am anti fixup, period. In 10 years I have liked one person that a friend fixed me up with, and I didn't know I was being fixed up. Maybe that's the trick, just don't tell me!
It seems to have worked for the people that I have fixed up, but never in reverse. I am not sure that any of my friends really know what it is that I like in a man. I think my friends think more of what they would like for me, or for what they themselves like rather than what I like. Regardless of what it is, I just plain don't like the fixup.
In the end I will probably end up meeting this guy. Oh how I dread the day! Seriously, I dread it. Let this be a lesson to all of my friends...If you are trying to fix me up, DON'T TELL ME! Just do it.

You're a big girl. If you let them back you into a blind date, just suck it up and get through it. Lukily, your friend won't be around for you to dodge those NEVER-ending questions on why it didn't work out. LOL
ReplyDeletereminds me of sitting in Travatos waiting for a "fix up" that never showed up. I feel exactly the same way, but sometimes you go just to be polite to the friend who thinks they know what you will like.
