I think this is the place. I stupidly left my glasses at home, I know it’s a blind date, but I shouldn’t have taken it literally!

I’m quite early, at least I think I am. I’ll sit here. ‘Ooh, I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to sit on your lap!’ 

Try again. That’s better. She’ll be here soon. I wonder what she looks like. I’ll probably be wondering that all evening!

Ah, a waitress.

‘A beer please. You’re not a waitress? Oh, you’re my date! Sorry, I’m John you must be Jane. How are you, erm, where are you?

Hello, hello……’.

    Uh oh. He is NOT making a good first impression…

        Poor bugger… 😉

    This has all the makings of date made in heaven

    Looks like you’ve wandered into Batman’s Bar. Oh, well–uneasy come, uneasy go, right?

    Funny story. A true blind date.

    Dear Keith,

    There’s blind date and then there’s BLIND date. Who can blame her for rushing off? Fun story.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

      Unfortunately he couldn’t see what the problem was!

      Thanks, Rochelle.

    maybe he can consider it a blessing not to be able to her. 🙂

    Ah, the forever question. To see or not to see depends on your perspective and role in the disastrous meeting.

    Oh! My goodness! This is Sooo fun. Thanks for brightening my day!

    Err… did you get the beer?

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings March 28, 2025 / 15:10

      That’s the only thing I did get!

      Great to see you again, Dahlia.

      • Dahlia's avatar Dahlia March 29, 2025 / 03:40

        Thank you Keith. Great to be back!

    I hate it when that happens! She sure gave up easily and obviously has no sense of humor. Good riddance 🙂

  13. GHLearner's avatar GHLearner March 30, 2025 / 16:24

    Hehehe. Poor guy. I can’t blame her for vanishing though. Sitting on her lap is a bit too much passion for a first date.

  14. Laurie Bell's avatar Laurie Bell March 30, 2025 / 20:30

    Eeep
    Not a great first impression
    But maybe they’ll laugh about it together in a few years if she gives him the chance

    Lesson learned, he’ll do better next time.
