'Blind Date' was my lifeline. It was 90 minutes when I could forget about everything, forget about the world.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The blind date that has stood you up: your life.
I learned how quickly I could go from having never met someone to having the world think I'm dating them.
One week before my 17th birthday, I had a blind date with June Rose, a television actress on network soap operas, a model, and a regular on the popular Dick Clark's Saturday night 'American Bandstand' show from New York. We were married five years later, one week after my graduation from Columbia.
T.V. found me. I was offered jobs. It came in handy when I started having babies. Just one night's work, and then I could go home. I loved 'Surprise Surprise', but it was hard work. 'Blind Date' was a doddle by comparison.
Blind dates are treacherous. You don't know who this person is. You wonder, 'Should I call my grandma during coffee to get out of this?'
It's always nice to remember that there was a time when I loved something that I didn't know much about; it just reached my ears and moved me.
You know, I'm not sure I ever even had a blind date!
I'm a person who likes to hang out. I would never go on a blind date. That sounds like the most uncomfortable thing on the planet earth. It's like, 'Hi. Nice to meet you. So, what kind of music do you like?' Date ended.
I've never done a blind date but my parents met on a blind date.
My whole life, meeting people is like a blind date, because I feel like they've already seen the video on me.
