I would usually refuse whenever a friend would offer to fix me up on a blind date. However, there was one occasion when I decided to give in when a friend of mine told me that she had the perfect guy for me and wanted to fix me up on a blind date. It would be a double date, with my friend and her boyfriend.

I contemplated backing out several times, but I finally agreed to meet the three of them at a local restaurant. However, I was incredibly nervous and convinced that this guy would not be my prince charming. I saw- that my friend was waiting for me as I entered the lobby. She told me that the guys were already sitting down at the bar having a drink while waiting for a table.

My friend also told me that my blind date was absolutely perfect for me and is looking forward to meeting me. I was unconvinced that he was perfect for me considering that every guy that I date is always different from the previous one.

I didn't even know that I had a particular type. My friend informed me that we share the same interests and hobbies and that he was tall, dark and handsome. I just rolled my eyes and let her lead me over to the bar where my blind date was waiting for me.

I was totally captivated from the moment my date stood up to greet me. He was definitely pleasant to look at and he kissed my hand softly when he said hello. We engaged in some small talk after he bought me a drink. I could not believe that my date was so handsome and that I was on a blind date.

My date spoke intelligently and seemed very passionate about life. We barely remembered that our friends were there after talking for a few minutes. He kept my attention for the entire meal and made me laugh.

I was impressed that he had a sense of humor to go along with his brains and good looks. I could tell that he had the type of personality that would challenge me. I knew that my blind date had turned out perfectly by the end of the evening.

That perfect date took place about five years ago. I can't help but smile when I remember that date and look over at my husband sitting next to me on the couch. My blind date was definitely turned out to be perfect for me.
