blind date with kid behind me

I was standing in a long line for a late lunch.

I notice behind me - a woman dressed up to the hilt and she is very nervous. She is talking to the guy standing next to her - asking him what he does for work. He is pointing and showing her where his office is.

I realize this is a blind date going on!!

The sad thing is that you could totally tell that she was so nervous and hoping the guy would like her.

But the crazy thing is that she has her daughter with her.

If ever there was an example on why your kids don't date I do think this is it. She and her date were nervous and obviously full of infatuation energy and chatting nonstop. The poor teenage girl was totally left out and bored. I could not understand why she brought her along.

Wow. I can't imagine bringing my kids to any kind of date- but a blind date?! Poor kid!
And what if I totally hated him, or he was creepy, or whatever. He'd have not only met me, but also my kids.

I thought for sure you were posting that YOU had been on a blind date!! Totally threw me off guard, since I was like "huh? She hasn't told US about any blind date- how dare she go ahead and have one without telling us!?"

Moody, who is not confused anymore

NO - I would NOT go on a blind date without posting here for sure! Because there would be all sorts of details to discuss and question FIRST with you guys!!
