There were two blind dates in my life.
The first was when I was in college. An annoying friend would not take "no" for an answer when I told her I didn't want to be set up. So I showed up for the blind date. With a stick. And dark glasses. She looked horrified, and I decided to see how long I could get away with it. I oooohhhh'd and aaaahhhh'd during the movie. I ordered from the menu (reading it) at the restaurant. The girl was dumb as a stump. When I got her back to the dorm, I walked across the street, got in my car and took off. There was no second date. Did I mention that Shammy V1.0 could be a douchebag at times?
My second blind date is where I met my ex-wife.
Karma is a bitch.

Do a little touching, and see how he reacts.
tell a story and put your hand on his shoulder.
Sit where you can touch your knee to his.

Good luck, my friend. All I can suggest is this: don't care too much about the results that may or may not happen. Not caring whether it works out or not is the only way to avoid getting stressed out and ultimately feeling bad (no matter which direction things go.)

It turned out to be a good time. He is a very nice man. I can't say I felt any chemistry but I am proud of myself for going. The next time will be easier. |

I have had umpteen coffee dates where the time was spent in enjoyable conversation, but didn't amount to anything more. Nice women all, but I knew there would not be any date in the offing. It does get easier with each meet. And don't worry too much, one or more of the guys will push the right button for you. |

I've only gone as far as telephone calls, and that took me four days to build up the nerve to call a man (he wanted to meet, but I suggested I call him). After 4-days of "yes I will, no I won't," I did it knowing it would only last a few minutes, and feel awkward. As it turned out, it lasted an hour, and we had a great conversation. That has given me the confidence to talk on the phone with other men, although I haven't come across anyone else up to now. Maybe one day, I'll actually meet one in person, but I'm in a better place than I was a year ago, and building confidence one small step at a time. I'm doing this my way, in my own time, and if a guy does not have the patience to wait, that's okay by me. These are my training days, and I'm not getting attached to anyone. |

Caris.
If you need the practice chatting on the phone. I will be happy to volunteer. No hidden agenda.
I'll warn you though, I have been known to be somewhat witty and sometimes a bit of a flirt.
