Blind Date meme

 

The Blind Date meme. Pretty self-explanatory. No matter how awkward and unexpected they might be, there is always something exciting about them. Who is your company for the evening going to be? Will it be a person of your innermost dreams or someone you absolutely can't stand? And most importantly...
 
How are you going to handle it?

What do:
1. Post with your character! They're now in the middle of a blind date.
2. Comment to each other! When you do that...
3. Go to Random.org and roll a single die!
1. 
First date
 -- You've never been out on a date before, so someone's decided to give you a helping hand.
2. 
On the rebound
 -- You're recovering from a painful breakup, but your friends/family think they found a great person for you anyway.
3. 
Not strangers at all
 -- Someone thought you didn't know your date. Turns out you know them from somewhere.
4. 
Hideously awkward
 -- Hey wait, that's your ex/boss/doctor/distant family member! Or, even worse, it's that person you absolutely despise. This will go well!
5. 
Existing partner
 -- You two are just acting like strangers to spice up your love life.
6. 
Future spouse
 -- Unfortunately, you have to have an arranged marriage. Fortunately, you get to meet that special someone for a date beforehand. How will the night go?
7. ...or, instead of rolling, come up with your own scenario!
4. Play out the date. This meme can be completely fluffy, smutty, or hilarious. If you don't want smut, you can put that in your subject. It doesn't even have to be romantic.

"Yes," she agreed. "We'll do something you haven't tried."

Together, they disembarked from the Eye, silently joining the stream of other sightseers. Bela brushed the pin in her hair, checking to be sure it was still secure. It's presence lessened her sadness that the evening was drawing to a close.

"Did you bring a car to the restaurant?" she asked as they headed in that direction.

"Yes, though it is parked a short distance away, in one of the public garages. Would you like a ride back to your flat?" Orion asked as he looked down at her with a soft smile, his hands clasped loosely together behind him. "We could also call a cab for you, if you would prefer."

Bela shook her head. "No, I also drove. Was just going to see if you needed a ride, actually."

They rounded a corner, putting the park within sight. The artists and vendors were beginning to pack it in, and the patrons had begun to drift off toward their evening nests. Up ahead, the hood of her silver Mercedes glinted beneath a streetlamp.

"This is me," she said, rooting in her small handbag for the remote entry. She tapped a button, and the car chirped in reply.

Bela turned toward Orion, laying her free hand on his shoulder and taking another short, chaste kiss. "Thank you for the lovely evening, Orion, and for the pin. I look forward to seeing you again sometime."

Orion's hand lit on her side once more in kind then fell away to let her go.

"Likewise. If you like, I can see you home before I return to my own space," he offered. He knew the hazards women could face even though walking from their cars to their homes, and while he was sure that Bela could handle herself, he would still rather have that peace of mind that she would get home safely.

Bela was very tempted to take him up on the offer if only to invite him upstairs for a nightcap. However, she decided that could wait.

"I appreciate the chivalric gesture, but I will be fine. The only time I'm ever accosted in Chiswick is when the leafleters come 'round, and since there's not presently an election on, I'm sure I'll be fine." She laughed and climbed into the car, smiling up at him for a moment before closing the door and firing up the engine.

He raised a hand, then crossed his arm over his middle and gave her a bow as she left. Now he was free to go about his business back at the bookstore, but he would certainly be looking forward to meeting with her another time.
