The idea of a blind date sounds exciting, but nobody really knows what they’re getting themselves into. It can go rather well or horribly wrong.

Let’s tell you a short story. One you probably know too well.

1. You are on your lane when your friends decide to set you up on a date

You people don’t have work abi?

2. At first you are like 

No thanks.

3. But they are relentless, so you give in

Ugh. Let me live.

4. Then you were even like what’s the worst that could happen?

There’s nothing new under the sun.

5. You and your date agree on a day, location and time

God, don’t make me regret this.

6. When you get to the location before your date

This is definitely not off to a great start.

7. You, after a waiter comes to take your order for the third time but your date hasn’t arrived

Have I been stood up? God please.

8. When they eventually arrive and they look nothing like the picture you saw

What’s all this?

9. When you go in for a brief hug, but they hold on tightly to you

Oh, my God. Take it easy na.

10. You, waiting for one of you to break the ice

Say something. Say something.

11. When you finally start talking and all they talk about is themselves

Hello! I’m here too

12. And you are forced to laugh at their dry jokes

Ha. Ha. Ha. Let’s end this please.

13. And they bring their ex into the conversation for no reason

Ah, this one is on the rebound oh.

14. You, thinking of a way to end the date
