went on a singles temple trip. met someone. very nice. felt a good vibe, but i just dont know. he seemed different than your typical sa activity guy. no schmoozing. it might have been "interested" in me, but i just dont know. turns out he knows our eq president. they went to school together and did some electrical work on his house. ran into eqp's wife a few days later and while we were chatting she said something about their house that made me remember the guy from the temple, so i mentioned him to her. she went ON AND ON about how great he is. then asked "do you want us to set you up with him?" i just dont know.
i have NEVER been on a blind date or a set up. ever.
DO IT! If you know you felt a vibe and she is willing to set you up...take it as a way to get to know him without you pursing him. Once you have met him "officially" if he doesn't do anything, then you can just let it go. Its not really a blind date or set up since you've actually met him before. :)
ReplyDeletei would. i swear i would. i trust the eqp and his wife. we are old friends and i like them a lot, but there is one thing i didnt mention. this other girl(woman)she is the one who "invited" him on the trip, but she said many times they are just friends. in my experience that means 1 of 2 things. either he is pursuing her and she doesnt want him(do i want sloppy seconds or cast offs?) OR she doesnt want to let on that they are seeing each other. such drama. another reason i despise the whole sa universe.
ReplyDeleteMy mom met my step-dad at a BYU Single Adult dance! Turned out he was a graduate assistant baseball coach at BYU and my uncle was currently playing for him. I think if you get a good vibe, and someone you both know vouches you should give it a shot.
ReplyDeleteYou can't really always tell a guys interest level from the outside. Personally I'm really out going with girls I'm not really interested in, but really shy with girls I am interested in. Who knows, I say go for it, even though I know in real life I wouldn't have the guts...
umm... not a blind date if you have met him. Maybe all he needs is a nudge.
ReplyDeleteI agree. It's not a blind date. What have you got to lose?
ReplyDeletego for it!
ReplyDeleteok-i am exposing my achilles heel: i would almost rather pass on the opportunity than risk him telling my friends that he wouldnt be interested in a date with me. now this is ridiculous, random, low self esteem. i am nice. i am cute. i am funny. boys like me, why wouldnt he want to go out with me?
ReplyDeletethe other thing is the "just friends" girl-i dont want to get in the middle of some sa drama. yikes. that would be horrible.
I say go for it. I have been on probably 150 blind dates. Some are great, some are not so great. But it's worth the shot. Plus, this isn't even a blind date. You already know you are attracted to him so you are ahead of the game. If he tells your friends he isnt interested in going on a date with you, no big deal. You aren't emotionally invested. I say go for it.
ReplyDelete150?!?!?! are you kidding me? wow. thats a lot. is that a new trend?
ReplyDeletetripp-it would be a big deal. i know its silly, but dont we all have silly things that we deal with?
if i know them, they will probably say SOMETHING to him at some point and if they do and if they offer again, i will take them up on it and report it in full detail here.
