HU Hu... lets give it a try.. Who knows..mayb you will like that gal.. hu hu

I don't agree with blind date but since you don't have any special girl yet you should.

Who knows! you might find soul mate by blind date.

Good Luck

Never had ja.

Just heard from some Chinese families.

Think it's not too bad. If it's just the first meet and introduce each other ja.

That's only first step...Then let nature goes......

No worry ja Van. ))) Have a good time. Cheers!

errrr....more comment, at ya 37 is fine to have yaown family but I have a friend he's half thai-chinese who engaged with the woman by blind date about 10 years before and just married her at his age 50 ja.

<<<<<<<<<maybe another solution for you>>>>>>>>>>

i've never dated a blind person ... might be an idea though ... at least she won't run away when she first sees me !!!!

Cosmo: Family fix ups with blind dates...............get a photo first.........lol

It's funny, because my friend wanted to fix me up last year with her best friend/co-worker. I said to my friend, okay tell her to email me with a photo......well I received a few emails from her, but no photos?? I said no photo, no meet........when I visited BKK again last Dec, my friend said we'll meet and I 'll bring my friend too? I said okay, no problem..........only because I wanted to see my friend.........however, I met her friend, and now she's my gf........and we're so happy together, so you never really know about a blind date......and you're looking at her!

Good luck to you, because it worked for me........ lol

You're sooooo ta-Lok deeeeeeee!!!! <<<<So pity Not looking>>>> ;P

Personally I would defend fiercely my freetime using it to meet people that I choose !

Sorry, but with all the respect with different cultural attitudes, I think that it very very rarely works.... actually

I would say the same with internet weddings if I was not on a dating website...

anyway I wish you very good luck

"Maybe because my parents and family members do not know what I want " Arrr... what do you want ? man or girl ?...lol j/k

Maybe you think that you were expected by your family with each date. This can make you a bit against the date. Anyway I've never dated a blind person too....lol Good luck ja.

many times that my relatives or kinships introduced the son of their friends or business partners or whoever they think may well-matched me.. ( they judged that themselves goshhhh!!)

this kind of arrangement always happen in chinese family i think ..

this convo was about a year ago..

aunt : Jum how old are you this year ?

me : 24 laew 25 next year ( which is this year im 25 )

aunt : do you have a bf ?

me : mmm.. no.. I don't need any bf right now , not ready for the new relationship and im ok with my single life ( at that time I was not over my ex yet )

aunt : well at your age i already had a baby u know ..

me : ??

aunt : My friend she got a son who is around your age or 3-4 years older .. has a good family background .. the family runs business about bla bla bla... he is now studying an MBA at the state and bla blabla..

me : *yawn*

aunt : *continue saying how nice the guy is , well- education , equally in wealth and status .. this and that ..

me : auntie you know that i am very selective right? i don't know why you guys keep pushing me for this .. this is the 20 th century and im the new generation! i think diffirently than you and those from 60th or 70th .. it worked for you and many others in your era but it doesn't mean i have to do the same way you did .. who knows maybe the guy you are about to set the blind date with me might have the sadism behavior ?? or he might have some crazy characters??

aunt : no way i guarantee you about that!! ( more convincing statement keep going )

me : well, no aunt i don't like to be pushed and i think i can find a good man to set up my own family by myself.. i appreciate your concern about me i know u want to give the best thing for me... but please if u want to see me happy .. you will have to agree with me on this issue..

aunt : you are just like your father , very stubborn !!

me : yes i am ,but i am sweeter 555

aunt : yeah right '

he's had a few guide dogs though!!

cosmo- pinkstar is single (not looking)- but we all know that means (looking but don't want to admit i'm looking)!!

why not drop her a pm on your next visit??

Hmmm I personally couldn't care less about blind dates - I hate them. My folks and relatives sometimes ask me where is my gf? Im sure mom would love grand-kids but I quess she will have to just wait...

{Unny}: you may be right....I think I should give it a try....hu hu...I could be married!!!

{spiroidal}: I know what you mean, mate...family meddling can be a real pain

{PinkStar}: No, no special girl...sad, huh?!?

{ZeaLion}: Wow, r u sure?!? 50 years old...was he getting married for the first time though?

{CiaranM}: Mate, I think you are right...only the blind will have me...hehe

{afook06}: Eddie, congratulations on finding your g/f through a blind date...she is a hottie...you lucky bastard.

{Vento}: Mate, I know what you mean, but I feel we all need to find a balance between freedom and love you get from your own family (damn, am I deluded or what?!?), well at least, that is what I have been told.

(OMG}: Yes, you are right...I feel there are high expectations from my parents.

{LadyVin}: OMG, you have been through it too...join the club...hehe

{Wallace}: thanks bro...see u on Friday night...stay sober until then.

Lost Hippy in Thailand: 43,000 members+ ...............= 51% Ladies =20% ladies (not looking) + 20% (looking) + 11% (married/engaged/with a partner) = 40% (not looking + looking)........if the non looking are really looking, that means a lot of ladies are looking..............so let's have a big TF party!!!! lol

all my respect was exactly based on the importance that family has for me as well

keep going in search of the balance, it won't be easy but it is worth trying

;-)

you shouldn`t even be going on blind dates. Its beneath you.

anyway, Good luck. )

::Blind date may make ppl blind more than before::

WHY?

-Cos some lonely ppl think that is right person

-too many pressure during meet up especially convince from family

fookster is a stats machine!! but he may have a plan!! let's have a find cosmo a girlfriend party!!

If you dont mind a girl who like to drink, one who need full attention most of the time, one who cant cook and one whom doesn't want any kid and need a seperated bedroom after get married then we can have a try.. shall we?

follow your heart and use your mind to guide the way. (a heart doens't know how to talk, but it holds more than a million words). maybe on your way, something might appear which you won't even relized. so again, follow your heart.

smile*

babyoiy: separate bedrooms?? Cosmo will think about it...............hmmmm, hmmmmmmm, hmmmmmmmmm?

lol

C'mon Van... you'll find someone... otherwise you can still go back to that hairdresser (journals ago)..

I agree with Fujico btw... take care
