On-Line Dating Versus Blind Dating

Blind dates are common with your crowd. Your friends, who one-by-one are getting married, are "concerned" that your biological clock is ticking very fast, and you are becoming an "old maid". The husband of the last friend who got married, John, has a brother, Jack, who is single and very available. You agree to meet Jack.
You arrive to your first blind date. Your friend told you that Jack is a great catch, and "kind of cute". You are at the restaurant door and a big guy walks over to you. He introduces himself to you as "Jack". The girls did not tell you that Jack looks like Baby Huey. You both go back to the table where Jack had been waiting for you.
Once you sit down with Jack, he begins telling you how this place has the best ribs in town, and ribs are his favorite food. You look over the menu hoping there's something on it for you to eat besides french fries.
You are so bored you begin thinking of how you could make as polite an exit as possible. Jack is a sweet guy and you two could be friends but you really don't see thing going much beyond friendship. He seems to be very interested in you though, and you are happy that at least guys still find you attractive.
Now imagine a date with someone you met through internet dating and have been chatting online with and exchanging emails with for quite some time.
With on-line dating, you already know each other pretty well if you have been conversing for a while. When you do finally meet, you meet at a restaurant where the food is complementarily to both your tastes. You talk and laugh and are truly happy to be finally meeting after 2 months of conversing.
You both know a lot about the other before you meet. You both enjoy beaches. You both love travel and children. Neither one of you is a couch potato, and you both have extroverted personalities. Your first physical meeting is a great success for both of you.
There is a big difference between a well-intentioned friend setting you up and choosing a man for yourself who shares your interests and tastes, isn't there?
Which choice will you make?
