My friend is setting me up on a date that I'm not so sure about. What do you think?

[LostInAnomie]

Today, my best friend called me. Apparently, his wife's best friend (since childhood) is single and they think that I would be a good match for her. I reluctantly agreed to go on a date, but now I'm starting to have second thoughts. I'm worried that if thinks go badly his wife will be offended and start to dislike me. My best friend is kind of whipped and if his wife no longer likes me he'll probably be forced to follow suit.

Should I go on the date, or should I back out?

1. As long as you are not nasty

or insulting.. I say why not?

:shrug:

2. I think you're committed to it now,

I hate set-ups. If somebody is bound and determined to set me up, I'd prefer if they did it in a group setting rather than pushing me to go out on a date with a stranger.

3. Well, it will be in a group for the first date.

I'm just a little worried about what happens after that. I'm not usually one to go for set ups either. I've met this chick before, and we get along well, but it seems like there's a little more pressure since both parties are best friends with the people setting us up... if that makes sense.

At least I don't think it would be a good idea.

5. Don't think of it as a date. Just think of it as a group of friends getting

together. That's really all it is.

6. yes

if they hit it off, nice, if not, no harm

7. Exactly. I think we self-destruct what could be simply entertaining

evenings by placing all this unspoken pressure on ourselves (or allow others to place said pressure on us)

9. correct

"what will be will be" - just let it :)

8. Go, and have a good time.

Apparently your friends aren't worried that you'll start to dislike them if things go badly. Why should you stress out about it?

Besides, the chances of things "going badly" are about as slim as the chances of this being the most wonderful amazing date you ever had. So you might as well just relax and enjoy it for whatever it is. :hug:

10. Go on the date

It may be nice.
