Story Time
Two Sundays ago I was talking to a girl in my ward and she asked me if I would be willing to go on a blind date, seeing as I'm not getting any other dates (and my old roommate met her husband on a blind date) I was willing to give it a try. She told me that the boys name was David, he was tall, blonde, lived in LS and was a little shy.
Later that week my roommate Chelsea came home and her friend David, who I had met a couple times before, walked in the door with her. I was sitting on the couch and he started to complain to us that his friends felt the need to set him up because they didn't think he was social enough and that he had a blind date on Friday. David is tall, blonde and kinda quite but I was busy on Friday and it wasn't because of a blind date, so it was definitely couldn't be the same David. After he left I asked Chelsea where David lived and she told me LS. I became a little suspicious and told Chelsea of my suspicion but we thought that since LS is a big apartment complex there had to be more than one David that lived there and this David and my future blind date couldn't be the same person.
The next Sunday(Last Sunday), Chelsea and I went visiting teaching and the girl who was setting me up was at the apartment we went to. We asked her if she knew David's last name and she didn't, then we asked if she had set him up on another blind date the previous Friday and she said that's when she was originally planning the blind date for, (starting to look more suspicious) then Chelsea asked if she was dating David's roommate (apparently David had told Chelsea that the blind date was a double with his roommate and his roommates girlfriend). Her boyfriend was roommates with David. So I learned exactly who I was going on a blind date with, and that I had already met him multiple times, and had even given him my solicited opinion on a jacket he had.
We decided we wouldn't tell David that it was me he was going on a date with, I really love awkward situations far to much and I felt that this would definitely be awkward. And let me tell you I wasn't let down. I walked in and he introduces himself to me and asks my name so I tell him. We all got in the car and headed to the store (for the date we made pizza). It got brought up that I'm from Arizona and he asked where in Arizona I was from, because he was also from Arizona (pretty sure I we had discussed that I was from SV the first time that I met him). When we got into the store we went and got our ingredients, at this point he turns to me and goes 'I know you from somewhere and I just figured out how I know you.' I laughed and told him that Chelsea had to hold her tongue all week, especially when he was telling her about the blind date he was going on. The rest of the evening was fun, however I feel like going on a blind date with someone you knew is overshadowed by the fact that a 3rd party had to set the date up and so the people on the date weren't interested enough in the other person to ask them on a date (kinda like the tie dates that my last ward would set up). If anything it made for a good story for my first blind date.
bah-hahaha.....
