When you go on a blind date, you can't know what kind of person you will be in front of until the day of the meeting. The appointment may have been organized by a mutual friend, a work colleague or through an online dating site. Either way, it's a good idea to arrive as prepared as possible.
Steps
Step 1. Plan activities
For example, you could play softball, tennis, bowling, mini golf, or even board or card games (however it can be difficult to play just two). Be careful planning new activities you don't know well.
Step 2. Organize the meeting
Schedule short meetings in public places, such as bars or restaurants, or even in a park. If the meeting does not go well, meeting you in a public place will make it easier to find an excuse to leave.
Step 3. Choose the clothing
Wear clothes suitable for the activities you have organized. For example, for fun or outdoor activities, dress informally, while for more formal meetings, for example at a classy restaurant, dress elegantly.
Step 4. Be prepared
For topics of conversation, find out about the news of the moment - national, international and mass culture. For a successful date, it is important to create a bond with the other person, have similar interests and create a stimulating conversation; physical attraction is a bonus. Also remember not to lie just to make a good impression.
Step 5. End a blind date that isn't going well
Smile and, in a kind way, tell the other person that unfortunately you do not feel a bond with them and go home (for this reason it is better to arrive at the appointment separately and each with their own vehicle).
Advice
- Try to have fun and enjoy the evening.
- Be yourself.
- It is very important that you trust the person who organized the appointment.
- Before the meeting, find out about the preferences of the person you will meet, directly with her or with a mutual friend.
- Remember that the first impression is always the most important.
- Do not give out personal information, such as your home or office address.
Warnings
- If you met the person through online dating sites, be very careful who you give your contacts to.
- Don't always just talk about yourself.
- Don't go overboard to make a good impression (for example, don't come with a dozen roses or jewels).
