Many of us have. Sometimes they become great love stories. Most times they are the first and last date for their participants.
And then there's that blind date that becomes a "I knew [insert pronoun] once."
Such was the case for a young New York woman in 1946 when she had a blind date with a slightly older man. The date was sweet but a love affair it was not meant to be. Off her gentlemen caller went and life ground on for this young lady, who later married and had a good life.
But one day she heard there was a short story published that seemed to be about their date and this lady got chills. The blind date had become a quite famous writer and he had obviously mined their one meeting for his material. And what was the blind date/writer's name?
JD Salinger.
