Blind Dating

A blind date is not exactly the most romantic and easiest way to meet other lonely hearts. Perhaps it is not what you expect and do not know how you could refuse. Maybe you will be rejected. However, it is advisable not to refuse any opportunity to meet new people. Some benevolent friends, usually a couple, propose you to meet the partner of your dreams. They describe him/her briefly and it seems to qualify and have access to the title of your possible partner. Before you know it, avoid asking a lot of details about the person you will meet. Obviously it will be placed in a favorable light and your friends will simply issue opinions. It is better that you make your own opinion in which the person will meet is concerned.

You will be tempted to find out what he/she likes about 'the future' so you can comply with the expectations they alleged. The problem is that a meeting should not be blind to project an image about you that is untrue. Can you handle a blind date? First of all do not expect things nor build scenarios. Disappointment will be more in this case. Do not think that the person you meet is not the prettiest, or something worse. Simply be patient to know the truth.

For the date night, choose a public place, preferably a terrace or a cafe where you can discuss openly. You can let you friends decide the place, but you risk that the whole evening will be captured by them and not get to talk 'directly' with your partner as freely as you wish. Perhaps you feel good and you want to repeat the experience and so you can propose that the next meeting should take place somewhere you have learned you both enjoy.

Or maybe it has been a terrible meeting. In this case, do not create expectations by saying that you will call. If the blind date failed, she/he will realize that this is unlikely to start a relationship. You can say 'we will talk sometime', but avoid asking for phone number.
