What to do on a Blind Date

Wait, let me guess. You have been single for sometime and a friend thought it would be a good idea to set you up on a blind date with a guy she/he knows. You either had nothing better to do or you just couldn’t say no or you were curious; so you said yes. Now you are having the jitters and are more than a little apprehensive about the whole affair right? Well, worry not. Let me tell you about some good ways to handle a blind date.

First and foremost don’t have any high expectations of your date so that if your date does not turn out to be the kind you were hoping they would be, you would not have any disappointment to face.

Give your date a chance to know you and get to know your date as well. Ask questions and really listen to what your date has to say. You might just end up liking him/her too much.

Be humorous to lighten the mood but avoid sarcastic or dark humor; that might just be something that your date doesn’t like or doesn’t get.

Talk about light hearted stuff; don’t go for a discussion about political or religious issues. You can end up arguing or even worse; offending your date.

Talk about why you think your friend set you up. You can also ask if it is your date’s first blind date. These things come in handy to lighten the mood.

While talking keep it to general topics or just ask about where your date grew up and their likes and dislikes and other stuff. Don’t ask too many personal questions; that can lead to awkward moments in the date.

Guys, if you want to make a good impression on your blind date and if you have really liked her; you should pay for dinner. A little chivalry goes a long way.

Finally, at the end of the date if you want to have another date with the person; guys ask for her number and girls drop hints.

These are some things you can do at your blind date so that nothing goes wrong. If you till don’t like your date, well, then bad luck.
