Blind Dating

So you got set up?

We’ll your sister, mother, dad, or friend thought it was time you get out on the dating game. You’ve talked about it, perhaps even laughed about the blind dating moment…however it’s here and it’s happening to you!  What now? We’ll let’s get to the basics of blind dating, kinda break it down so you know whats about to happen.

First, you now have a set up on a blind date through a friend or a co-worker who knows both you and so and so would be perfect together. Now its time to prepare, of course your going to ask as many details about the other person,(hopefully, your friend knows them enough to know you would be great together!)  what do they look like? What kind of personality do they have? where do they live? So forth and so forth, That’s great do it, the  more you know, the better your going to relax a tad from the anxiousness of whats to come.  After you get all the sweet dish about your blind date, as we’ll the phone number I hope… its time to set the environment, the what,when,and where.

Now the adventure is really going to start… The where:  If you read on the dating tips area above, you will now know, that’s dates are a form of getting to know each other, almost like an interview but don’t make it out to be one. Keep it short and sweet but most of all an easy place to meet up at.  Perhaps a walk around the local museum, a picnic in the park, or drinks at your local coffee shop/ Another great idea, which I thought was sweet is going to a craft store, where you can make your own art to take home (hey, I know what your thinking) but its a creative blind dating! However, don’t go to the movies or a loud bar or club. Its near impossible to hear or talk to each other..and the whole point is to do so!  Now that we know where were going..how about when?

You want to aim at a time and date that of course works for both of you. So you ask whats the best time for a date?  Me, if  it’s the first date…and a blind on at that, I like to keep it during the day light hours around lunch, preferable on a Saturday.  This is for a number of reasons, one lots of things are going on for a Saturday so it keeps your options open,  two most folks (we’ll key word most) don’t work on a Saturday and the best answer to this…number three if the date is going great you can extent the hours and if the date is terrible wrong, you still have time to hang out with friends later! See…blind dating is so far…is not so bad!

Now, lastly, what are you planning to do? We’ll first off your planing on going on a blind date. Get yourself together, breath and then shortly after give them a call, that is if they weren’t planning on calling you first. For now though we’ll have you calling. After you get them on the phone, just announce who you are and that your excited to meet them and the whole idea of blind dating, get the details and share your ideas of what you would like to plan for the both of you, included the time and date of this wonderful adventure. As we’ll, how will you recognize each other, if you never met before? (Yes, I know cell phones) but, you never know about the connection or if batteries die, trust me its happen to me, and it sucks!  Just remember these little details, when your on the phone with them.

Now, that your all set up on the what, when and where your good as gold. It’s all about getting your dating skills down when you met up with your blind date. Remember, that even though blind dating is a pain in the butt, it can be a great adventure, however one last tip before I close this off, what if you don’t like your blind date? No worries, if you followed the plan from time, date and where you should just go on and enjoy yourself…you never know even though it’s not love, it could be a great friends in the making.  But most of all be straight forward about how you feel, if it doesn’t work out let them know. Like I said in the dating tips area….its a date not a seal deal to marriage.  So good luck and have fun…but most of all be safe!!

added tips or online blind dating:

*If  it’s an online blind date.. make sure you get as many details of the person your meeting.

*ALWAYS tell somewhere where your going and what time ALWAYS.
