Your friend has decided that you need help with your social life so she sets you up with a blind date, a friend of a friend of a friend. You, foolishly, accept. Now there you are.

You and Jack, your first blind date, meet at a rib joint, which happens to be one of Jack’s favorite restaurants. Once you get to the rib house and walk in you are shocked to see that all the waitresses are scantily dressed. You attempt to walk out, especially since you are a vegetarian, but a gorgeous guy runs over to you and introduces himself as Jack. He asks you if you are Linda and you nod yes. He then escorts you over to a table he has already been sitting at.

As you begin talking, you realize that Jack knows the weekly TV schedule verbatim. You haven’t sat through a movie in months because you run marathons and volunteer at the local food bank. He says, “Volunteering is a waste of time because you can’t help those people, anyway.

When the waitress comes over, who appears to be wearing a bikini with lace over it, Jack orders ribs and you ask the waitress if there are any vegetarian items on the menu. She says yes we have onion rings. Jack is surprised that you are vegetarian and tells you that, you can also have his french fries. You wonder how much longer you will have to endure this.

Now imagine a date with someone you met through internet dating and have been chatting online with and exchanging emails with for quite some time.

With on-line dating, you already know each other pretty well if you have been conversing for a while. When you do finally meet, you meet at a restaurant where the food is complementarily to both your tastes. You talk and laugh and are truly happy to be finally meeting after 2 months of conversing.

Before you meet you already know that, he is a health and fitness nut and so are you. He is a family guy and loves children and so do you. He wants to one day have a family of his own, and so do you. You cannot believe, once the date is over, where all the time went.

There is a big difference between a well-intentioned friend setting you up and choosing a man for yourself who shares your interests and tastes, isn’t there?

Which scenario is better for you?
