    I got the heads-up last night that someone is going to try to set me up with someone. I'm not totally averse to the idea, but I am wary as my experience with blind dates, limited as it is, has not been especially positive.
    My question is this: Just how shallow is it of me to ask to see her picture before agreeing to a date.

    Just don't let her walk into a wall or out into the street.

    Just go, stud. Not like you can trust the photos anyway.

    Oh, and pet her dog before you try to kiss her.

    Don't laugh when she tells you she's a virgin.

    Unless she's totally fugly. A broken nose or leg is an easy, guilt-free way to end the date early.

    Should I arrange for an "emergency" phone call 10 minutes in? That seems a bit much, and I really don't want to be that guy. Then again, I don't want to waste a lot of time with an uggo (OK, that was really shallow, but you get my point).

    Don't worry, I'm sure she has a great personality.
