My Blind Date Went Blind!: And Other True Stories of Dates Gone Wrong
The awkwardness. The anxiety. The sweaty palms. Ah, the joys of a blind date. But then there's the laughing about it afterward with friends, and doesn't that make it all better?
A hilarious collection of more than 50 true stories of dates gone crazily wrong―though sometimes with a happy ending― My Blind Date Went Blind! is as much fun as sharing stories with a best friend. Here's the date who shows up with his soon-to-be ex-wife in the backseat. The date who thinks it's sexy to eat a bowl of noodles in one mouthful, tearing off the dangling ends with both hands. The date who can’t pay for the $2.00 matinee when he discovers the price went up to $3.00. The forgetful woman who administers the same pop quiz― Can you spell "segue"? Who is Frank Lloyd Wright? ―two dates in a row. The rabid Harry Potter fan who just won't stop calling (with updates about his therapeutic progress). And the date of the title, who loses his vision in the middle of dinner―a literal moment of hysterical blindness―and needs to be walked home. (Oh, and he wasn't able to pay the check either, of course.)
With sidebars including Worst Pickup Lines Ever and Very Bad Movie Choices for First Dates, it is the perfect antidote to the dating You just have to laugh.

Couldn’t put it down because it was easy escapist reading. Thematically it was confusing and I was truly lost by the last two stories and then it just ended with no real ending.

I thought this book would be funnier than it actually was.
Sometimes I like to read stories of dates gone wrong in order to feel better about not dating at all. This book amused me a little and comforted me a bit, but there were no laugh out loud moments.
This book was fluffy distraction, which was the bare minimum of what I was looking for.

I wanted to like this book. I've had some horrible dating experiences and hoped that others had had worse. Unfortunately, my dating life is worse and funnier than the authors. It took me three years to read this - that, in and of itself, should explain how torturous this book was for me.

This book is a compilation of stories that are about blind dates. The book is divided into sections such as medical stories, stories involving lies, etc. The book is fun for the most part, but some of the stories fell completely flat. I finished some and was like, "That's it?"

Read half of this before giving it as a gift and it wasn't as funny as I wanted it to be.
