The Blind Date ♥ Meme 

As of Saturday November 8th there are only 46 days left until Christmas. That means there are only 52 days until New Years Eve. It doesn't give anyone much time to ensure a gift or a kiss, let alone the time to find that special someone! So why not let your friends help out? Sometimes the best people are ones you might never meet!! A friend of a Friend? A Friend of a Friend of a Friend? The Six Degrees of Your Friends List could be the answer!   01. Comment with your username! 02. Your friends will think about you as a person, and try to offer up suggestions of who just might be the perfect person to spend the upcoming holidays with! Even if you have a special someone... maybe you do deserve better!! Or better yet? Have an affair! They're always good for doubling up on your gifts!! 03. Comment with a friends username! Maybe they're too in the dark about their own lack of dating prospects! Help them break out of that shy in the corner stage in their life and get them into the dating pool!! 04. IPs OFF and anon ON  NO WANK, NO NEGATIVITY. 05. Pimp & participate!

Um.. pass.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

I suppose this explains why you don't have a significant other.

[winchesterbitch.livejournal.com]

Because I won't let my brother go out with someone you're pimping out to at least two other guys I can see?

Sure. Why not.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

Oh, for heaven's sake. It's a blind date! A single date. We aren't prearranging a marriage here.

I'm just trying to get Cait to meet some new people before she resorts to going out with her boss or some other ill-advised thing.

[winchesterbitch.livejournal.com]

Blind dating is like blind shooting. Do it once, you might get lucky. Do it more than once and you up the chances for disaster with every shot.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

You make it sound so...unappealing. And dangerous.

I only thought perhaps she'd end up with a new friend or two.

[winchesterbitch.livejournal.com]

It is dangerous. And trying to get someone out on four blind dates at once, if not more? That sounds like desperation, and yeah, that's unappealing.

You don't go on a blind date to meet a friend, you go out to a bar or a club or a coffee house. Or just start a conversation. Seriously.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

Sounds more like keeping a busy social calendar to me, hardly the earmark of desperation.

A blind date is nothing more than an initial meeting, what more can you possibly expect to come from it?

[winchesterbitch.livejournal.com]

It's a date. People have certain expectations when you start tossing the word date around. Especially on the holidays.

It's your friend's funeral. Or police report. Whichever.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

That's absurd.

Actually, it's quite possibly mine if she's unamused with this.

[winchesterbitch.livejournal.com]

Which is all the more reason not to pimp her out to four different guys. *smiles* Just pick one and get to know him, better chance it works out that way. Or at least, better chance she doesn't kill you.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

She can do the choosing, I'm only offering suggestions. *sighs* I'm sure it's apparent that dating is not my forte.

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

Huh. What's the catch?

[(Anonymous)]

There is no 'catch.' Cait's a good friend of mine. She should date more, that's all.

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

Right. So you want her to have to deal with a random dude suggested for a meme who might not even exactly be interesting in dating as such... or at least, not like... more than the few days he may or may not be around?

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

It's just a date. A blind date. I don't see how an internet meme is much different than any other random meeting. Just as I was telling your brother, it's ultimately her choice and it's only a chance to meet someone new. I don't see why there has to be the expectation of anything else.

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, it's him who really should've known better. uh... Let me get back to you an' all when I've got any idea where we'll be by then? It's quite possible that we'll be a bit tied up. *or recovering, which can also incapacitate either of them from attending a party, but hey, that's just on his mind...*

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

That is possibly the most sensible thing I have heard in this place. People put too much pressure on a situation that should be fun.

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

I'm generally a time-with-girls-should-be-fun kinda guy.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

Then, should you meet, you and Cait will get along great.

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

Maaaybe. The little tiny problem is that I don't stick around. Ever. But other than that... *shrugs* As long as you don't give her the expectations that she's getting a keeper or something.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

Oh, heaven's no. I don't even know if she wants something like that and you certainly can't decide such a thing without even knowing the person, that'd be ridiculous.

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

Right. And by not sticking around, probably low chances of even a second date, in case she thinks it's good. *shrugs* And again, we might not be able to make it or something. But if she's down on other options... I guess.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

You sound as if you really don't want to do this at all. I think your brother was only trying to be helpful, maybe you should give it a try...even if it's not with my friend. You never know, you might actually have some of that fun you are fond of.
