The blind date was something new for me. I have not been a big blind date kind of guy. I have not been a big date guy. So my telling of how the blind date went will be from my perspective. It was three couples that went on this blind date. Me and my date, and the other two couples. For the sake of this review I’m going to concentrate on my “date” only.

You have to remember I’ve been out of circulation for a long time. So my comments will have a certain misogynistic quality to it. And there I go using that word again. My date was a nice lady. I have nothing bad to say about the chick, ok?

We went to J.M.K. Nippon. First strike. I don’t like Japanese food. It was cool and all that. But just not something I would do. I didn’t mind the food. I don’t like sushi and I refuse to try it. I tried to be funny and all that. I just felt that there was no vibe going on. Not that I was looking to marry the chick. Again it’s just me.

Second strike was when we went to Oscars Pub. A bar was something I could do for the second part of the date. Give me some alcohol and I’m fine. But as it is with me, mistakes were made. First I guess I didn’t go and sit by her. So the conversation process was killed. Of course the chick didn’t come and sit by me, either. So it was a wash in my mind.

The third strike was the fact I wasn’t into the whole spirit of the blind date. I have some issues I still have yet to resolve. Nothing that needs mentioning here. Just something I have to deal with.
