5 Tips For Surviving A Blind Date
So you’ve set up a blind date. And now you’re asking whether he’s going to be the man of your dreams or someone who you’d totally cross the road to avoid.
But don’t worry. Here are 5 tips on surviving your next blind date…
Keep it simple. Don’t go for anything too elaborate for your first date. After all you’re going to want to get out of there if he’s not for you. So stick to a date that’s pretty simple like coffee or cocktails.
Have an escape plan. We know this doesn’t sound as though you’re really in to the date but having a plan of how you can leave without being insensitive to the other person is a good idea. It maybe a good idea to start the date by saying you only have a limited amount time. If you get on then you can always “cancel” your other plans.
Be yourself. One of the most important tips is to just be yourself. Have fun, relax and just see this as meeting a new friend instead of pressuring yourself to think you’ve got to be super impressive.
Bring a friend. Most of the time, blind dates are AWKWARD. So to save yourself from hours of staring at the clock and long, awkward silences then bring a friend and ask your date to bring one of his. Handy if you both have single friends looking for love.
Be positive. Go in with a positive attitude. If you go in with negative thoughts then it’s not going to work out. Even if it turns out that you don’t have any romantic feelings you could very well find a good friend.
