Would You Accept a Date from a Stranger? - Thinkjoust Tuesday #44


I'm sure most of you have been on a blind date, which is technically a date with a stranger. However, many blind dates are set up by trusted individuals in your confidence. Your friend knows this 'great person' who they can just tell is your future spouse, so you begrudgingly agree to give it a shot.

But that's not what I'm talking about in this particular post. I'm talking about a date with a TOTAL stranger.

They may be in your congregation. They may be a classmate. They may be someone walking past you in the street. You may even be familiar with their face and/or name, but nothing else.

Then they do something crazy. They call your number from the church directory. They pull you aside after class. They stop you cold in the street. They do the unthinkable.

They ask for a date.

You're obviously single in this scenario, so what do you say? And why?

Do you say 'yes' because you like adventure? Do you say 'no' because you're creeped out that they know your name, and you don't know theirs? Are you flattered anyway?

Let's talk about this. Leave a comment below!

  1. As long as I don't get a creeper vibe, I'd say yes! Dates can go either way even when you know the person, so why not see what happens.

    But seriously... If I was attracted to this stranger =P
