1) Ask them to set you up on a blind date.
2) Tell them it has to be someone they’ve known for a while.
3) Wait for them to come back to you with: “Oh, (s)he’d be perfect for you!”
4) Allow them to set up a time and date as well give you tips on outfit.
5) Appear at date; never allow double date.
By step 4, you should have a clear picture of how your friend(s) see you. If you don’t by then, step 5 should do it. After #5, you have basically 2 choices - to, or not to, stay friends.
If you still don’t know after step 5, you have to wake the fuck up!

hahahaa .. should I say I’m sorry you had to find out your friend’s perception of you that way?

Oh no, you should actually feel happy for me because one less asshole is one less wrinkle. How do you think I still have ultra-smooth skin?

Personal experience, eh?
The only blind date I ever went on was arranged by (oh, the shame!) my mother. Turns out my mother had a very high opinion of me, though, and I married the woman. She has been MY WIFE for 16 years now

Actually, Jim, it’s not from personal experience. I’ve never liked the idea of a blind date. I’ve never dated much either. I still don’t know which ones I can consider as dates even. Hmmm…points to ponder.
But…you’ve proven my case and your mom hit the bulls-eye there. 16 years is no joke. Have you written about that on your blog?
Although some mothers suck at that. Someone I know has proven that with all her sons. All of them are perfectly mis-matched with their wives because their mommy made the connections. Good thing they’re all shit-heads and have paired up so good people don’t get infected.
