Don’t Judge a Book by its Cover or your Date…


Throughout the years blind dates have always been a successful means of meeting someone new. For those of you who are unfamiliar the term “blind date” it does not refer to being blind folded while on a date. Blind dating is defined as meeting someone for a date that you have never met before. These dates are usually organized by two friends (usually the opposite sex) who have a friend that’s single, and both friends decide to introduce their friend through a date.
On the 4th of July I was at a popular event held in Tempe, Arizona with a good friend of mine. She introduces me to her sorority sister who happened to be very good looking and single. After talking for a while I decided to mention my golf partner to her. He was a 29 year old male law student who also is single. We decided it was a perfect opportunity to arrange a blind date. I called my golf partner and told him if he could meet up with a nice girl I had met for him to go on a blind date with , he happily agreed.
The two decided to meet at Barnes and Noble since they were going on a date on the following Tuesday and there wasn’t much to do during the weekdays. They were just going to relax get to know each other and have some coffee. As Tuesday came my friend arrived ten minutes early to the bookstore and to his surprise his date was their waiting on the couch. He noticed her as very attractive from clear across the store and decided to send me a quick text saying “thanks a lot man she’s hot”. I was sitting at home relaxing when I receive the text message and I remember feeling a small sense of accomplishment. As my friend got closer he realized she had selected a book to read while she was waiting. He got within a few steps of her and saw the title of the book “How to Deal with my STD”. Upon noticing the title he immediately made a beeline right turn down the next isle and gathered himself for some personal time. After calming down from his abrupt laughter and hysterics he decided to leave the store. He drove home leaving his date sitting there on the couch. After hearing the story I gave him the advice he should at least talked to her……....ear
