Are you preparing yourself for a blind date with someone you haven’t met before? Use these 5 blind date tips to have a perfect blind dating experience.Blind dates are an exciting thought, but yet, it’s something that doesn’t always turn out right.On one hand, you’re meeting someone you don’t really know and that thought seems daring.You know what blind dating is, don’t you?
To sum it up in a sentence, the typical blind date is a date where you don’t know the person you’re going to meet on the date.You haven’t seen them, nor have you spoken to them or met them earlier.So the most important aspect you need to remember about blind dates is that it’s completely awkward for both the involved people.Imagine walking up to someone you’ve never met in your life and having to force a smile and share a happy conversation with them.On the other hand, if your date turns out to be an obnoxious loser, your hands are tied and you’ll have to endure them for the rest of the evening.
* Be flexible in your expectations
Now I can’t tell you not to have any expectations at all, but instead, all I can suggest is to avoid having very high or low expectations from the date. Head to the date with an open mind, and try to think of it as if you were going to meet a friend.
* Bug your matchmaker
Try to get to know as much as you can about your date from your matchmaker if it’s a friend who’s setting both of you up. Even if your friend’s trying to build the suspense by hushing all details, ask your friend to tell you more about their personality so you know what to talk about during the date.
* Standing a date up
If you can’t make it to the date on time, make sure you let your date know about it at least a few hours before the date. And do apologize profusely for it too.
* Have a nice time
When it comes to a blind date, the surprise is part of the package. Sometimes, it may be a pleasant surprise, and at other times, it may be a less-than-pleasant experience. But nevertheless, plaster a smile on your face and try to have the best time you can with each other.
* Don’t be rude
Your date has taken a lot of time off from their life to spend it with you. Respect that thought and your date. Even if you find your date boring or someone who’s on the opposite end of your perfect definition of a lover, don’t treat them with disrespect. Be pleasant and finish the date with a happy memory, even if it wasn’t a perfect fairytale ending.
