Alright, so after months of my hair colorist (Buddy) trying to set me up with his nephew.. I'd given him permission to give his nephew my number.
Buddy told me his nephew (His nephew's name is Matty )
Matty called me on the phone a few times.. but I still bailed when he asked me to meet him at a bar to watch a soccer game. It would have just been the two of us and I geeked out and made up an excuse to not make it.
This past weekend.. I finally stepped up to the plate.. thinking there were 3 good signs, why not! I invited him out to a bar that at least 7 of my friends and I were at. I was soooo nervous. This was my first blind date, ever.
So, anyways.. he finally walks in and BUMMER!! I am 5'0" and he was like 2 inches taller than me.. and I was bored out of my mind..
Now what!?! We all went out Friday and he called Sunday night to 'thank me' for the good time.. I soo don't even want to call him back. But, I can't do that! He's my hair colorists nephew! I don't want to go in next time and come out with orange hair!
What would you do?

Unless you're totally turned off, one more chance, if not then, you'll have to come clean.

That is rough.... Maybe one more time but trust your intuition that you just don't have
the hots for him. Be honest and your hair won't get screwed over hopefully!
2I'd talk to your colorist. He's the one who set you up. He can help you break it off.
3I would probably give him one more chance since he was so nice, BUT if you aren't attracted to him don't force it. YIKES!
4I would give him one more chance, unless like Jinx said he totally turns you off. Then I would do what colormesticky said and talk to your colorist.
5Sometimes blind dates turn out to be wonderful. I married mine!!
6Aw, Lisa! That gives me hope!!
7I should add I didn't really like him either. Actually it was more of feeling indifferent. I even went out with him 2 more times before I started to really like him. That 3rd date was magical. So sometimes you have to give it more than one try. I should add he was cute, very sweet and nerdy -- not my type
I liked the bad boys up until then.
8It's hard to find a good hairdresser!
9LOL @ the hairdresser comments.

Give him another chance, but go with a group so you aren't stuck with him all night. Maybe he was just nervous, if it still doesnt work, I would talk to your stylist and say he is very nice, but X......Just say you think he is great but you aren't intersted in him "that way". I've had very good and VERY bad blind date experiences, so I feel for ya!
11louzie.. i think you need to give this non-matt damon look-a-like another chance.. maybe just go somewhere alone this time. I mean.. he could be a great guy and you might not know it.. so check it out lover
12I agree with colormesticky, I think you should talk to your colorist.
13this is why I always hated blind dates.
14blind dates are hard...i went on one with my aunt's friend's son...suffice to say he tried to kiss me 10 minutes (no exaggeration) after meeting me. they can be rough, but hey...at least you polish your dating skills!
if he asks (which he may not, the thank you call may be the end of it...no offense my dear
), i think you should give loverboy one more chance. you were probably taken aback by the discrepancy between how he had been described to you and how he appeared, and that
probably colored (no pun intended!) your entire experience.
that said, here's your plan:
15- give it a little while before you make plans. if he calls you this week and asks about this weekend, tell him it's no good, but next weekend is fine.
- go on the date.
- if you're still turned off, call him and explain you met someone else on that weekend in between your dates, and you're going to give imaginary man a try, but you had a really great time and you wanted to be up front with him that you weren't interested. (sneaky, i know, but fewer hurt feelings this way!)
- next time you have a hair appointment, if the colorist asks how your new man is, murmur casually that it hasn't worked out with anyone recently, and you are still waiting for mr. right. he'll get the point.
otherwise, i would leave the colorist out of it. it's his nephew, he's bound to be protective and might end up hating you...and as TeamSugar said, a good hairdresser is hard to find!
