There are alot of people who you can have a mediocre date with. I am shocked sometimes at the percentage of mediocrity in the population.
I just got back from a date. Was it great? No. Was it bad? No. It was mediocre. I have been on so many of these things that it's getting kind of annoying. I don't want to stop trying - I'm not a quitter! - but they can start to zap your energy.
Seriously, what happened to the funny, intelligent, analytical men in this world? I'm pretty sure they exist.
Oh, and if anyone has a pack of matches they could lend me that would be awesome because right now I'm in desperate lack of a spark.

As someone who is just getting back into dating, I'm trying to look at the fun side. I admit that I have already have had one less than date. In Calgary the men out number the women and men seem more than willing to introduce themselves to a large group of women. As far as I can tell this works in terms of editing our social lives but one night it was like we had an audition table out at the bar. We just wanted a ladies night out. 2 guys come over to talk, they stay a while then leave. Within 2 minutes there was a new group of fellows introducing themselves. If one seems good enough I will take their number. If not, no number exchange. This does seem like a built in elimination process. Not as cold as MTV's next. But sometimes a big "next" is needed.
I agree the bland ok'ness of it all can get a bit depressing. However, consider that the reason might be that you've going on blind dates. Perhaps when both parties are a bit more comfortable things can be more fun?
I don't know the answer as I'm new to this whole deal... but I'm still hopeful that I'll find a guy that actually interests me and doesn't kiss his own biceps at the dinner table. A girl can hope :)
Stop...Scaring...Me.
I have had some good dates, am readying myself for bad ones, but have yet to experience any. Don't want to jinx tomorrow night, so I'm just going to try to stay positive...
...what's the worst he can do? Build a fort in the middle of the coffee shop? Talk about how hot his body is and demonstrate with a bicep make-out session?...Actually, that may in fact be better than a "mediocre" date, because at least it would make a good story, rather than make me want to keep my eyes open on the date with toothpicks while snoring lightly...
ack. Not sure if I have the stomach for it.
Exercising caution,

Blind dates are difficult, tt's just been a while since I had this many boring dates in a row. This last one we ended up talking about work almost the whole time. Work! And that was a date that I had been excited for, even.
Blind date sparks tend to be much more minimal, but you can usually still feel a bit of it. Usually you can tell if you're having an actual conversation, not just answering eachother's questions.
Honestly? I prefer a bad date over a blah date. Like you said Kel, at least it's entertaining!
