had a blind date. got all ready, walked into the room and there sat a slightly pudgy guy with a baby BABY face. completely shaved head (and it was really a head that needed hair). Went to dinner. he was very nice. Paid for everything. (we did go out with friends, so it wasn't too bad). then we went out after that. realized finally that he dips snuff (which is appalling to me). Started listening to music and found out all he listens to is country. Went back to a friend's house and stayed up talking for about an hour. Everything he mentioned that he liked I didn't like. just preference issues, I guess. He was nice and sweet. But.... I don't think two people shoudl have EVERYTHING in common, but from music styles, to hobbies, to what he watched on TV, nothing was the same. then he called me this week and we talked and it was nice, but we are so different in tastes. I just don't know........

Sorry to hear that! Just curious.... Who arranged the blind date? Whoever did, obviously didn't know you.
I had a few dates lately that were just FROGS. The fortunate thing was, I knew what they looked like, the unfortunate thing was, once they opened their mouth, the attraction was over.
I do have a blind date that
Sorry to hear that your date wasn't everything you hoped it would be. But chalk it up for better luck next time. There are plenty of fish in the sea - one that you will be compatible with!

My first question was, "who set up the blind date?"
Oh dear - it sounds like this poor soul has three strikes - his looks, the snuff and the hobbies/interests.
While I don't think you need to have everything in common, you do need to have some major things or complementary things at least. I would NOT be okay with dipping snuff - that is a turnoff to me.
NEXT!!
At least you did get out of the house and you are learning to see "what's in it for me" and not just worry if the guy likes you - that is all good stuff.
Unfortunately we all do have to date a lot of toads before we find our prince.
Maybe this poor fellow will be a prince to someone else.
