Save Blind Date

We have heard so many scary stories about blind date. Actually, blind date is not so frightening. Its can be funny and safety as well. If you feel scare, you may bring your cell phone anywhere you go or may be set up a ”Double Date”, so that you can have a friend to accompany you.

The main key of this blind date is YOUR SELF. So, Prepare Yourself.
Do you really want to do it? Get a real reason why you should do it. If you ready, really, and get a clear vision why you want to do this then, keep on reading this article.

Here are 6 tips for you:
1. Where To Go
you should choose a place that everyone can visit at all, or such public place, so you will feel more relaxed and have fun in the public area.

For blind date, you better avoid any kind of lunch or dinner date, because when the blind date not going well, you re stuck together in entire meal for that time. Same thing with watching movie, it will make your blind date simple and short.

My advice, you better keep your date as simple as you can, so when you are not interested in them, you may make a quick exit. But if u interested in them, you can arrange to meet them again.

My advice, the best date should be:
a. in a café, meet for a coffee
b. A dessert in the evening
c. Lunch during weekend
Those dates won’t take you in a long time. Whatever place you pick up, you should keep you self comfortable, enjoy and fun.

My other advise, you better pay you bill by your own. So you can avoid from feeling that you owe something to them, or want to take some advantages from them. But, if they offer, then let them pay.

2. At The First Meeting
Select clothing that is appropriate for your date, such as a casual for a movie or a little bit more dressy for dinner date. Please, don’t wear some clothes that are too strange or over the top. Remember to trim your nails, shine your shoes and iron your clothes. If you are woman, make sure that you don’t look too sexy, because it can make man think different about you. Make sure that you shave and smell good. A bit cologne or perfume can be nice, but don’t over do it. But be sure that the clothes that you wear is comfortable for you.

When you meet them, offer a polite greeting and handshake. Smile and be friendly. If you are nervous, cover it. If you are Men, be gentlemen, open the doors, pull her chair, hang up her coat and etc. If you are Woman, be polite, keep smiling and thank him to everything he did for you.

Remember, you only got one chance at this first meeting to impress them, so you should make a good one. And don’t forget the most important one, relax! Take a deep breath and relax. Make your self comfortable as much as you can.

May be there is a little bit things that you don’t like from the person, like cologne, perfume or clothes, but make sure that you don’t put to much attention to that things, cause you will end up with negative thinking about you, or may be more worse.

3. Making Conversation
This is a very important point in the blind date. Because from here, you can get the plus point from them. Think of some general topic, like ask about his or her family, friends, or work. Keep the conversation light up.

Watch your words, tone of voice and body language as well. Body language is the most important in communication. So keep your body relax and react appropriately. Keep your eyes on them, not to another person at there.

Here some advise what you better ask:
- Ask about them
- Ask about they job
- Ask about they family
- Ask about they hobby
- Ask about where they lived
- Discuss about music, film, food, but don’t politic.
- Talk about your self, but don’t make the entire conversation become yours.
- Show some interest about what they say

Make sure that you avoid this question:
- Past relationships
- Speak bad about someone
- Say anything stupid and mean.
- Talk about something that they don’t really interest on it.

4. Watch Out
While you are with them, there are something that you should watch as you “warning sings” such as:
- Talk about past relationship in the date.
- Talk badly about his or her family.
- Drinks a lot
- Do not pay attention to you
- Wearing a wedding ring
- Displaying something illegal, rude, disturbing, criminal, mentally ill behavior

My advice, you better make a quit exit strategy in this case.

5. Quit
Even the date going very well, it will be an exit to quit from the date. How if the person that you date, you don’t really like? And you in the single blind date?
You better have a friend that standby and you hold your phone all the times. So, you need to make an excuse to your self, hit the bathroom and call you friend to pick you up in several minutes.
How if you can’t stand anymore with your dates?
Tell them that you have an important appointment after this and you can’t cancel your appointment. Like with you mother, father or may be workmate.

6. End the Date
Finally, you should say good bye to your date mate. Whatever you enjoy the date or not. Make sure that you say thank to what both of you have walk trough. If you interest with the person, let them know that you really like to see and meet them again. So, you may give your phone number, email address or any kind of contact number to reach you.
If you don’t interest with the person, make sure that you won’t give your number and say’ “Call me.” Or giving a hope like you are going to meet them someday. Try to be honest, if you don’t like it, you might say, “I think we have a lot of in common.” Be kind and always make an effort to spare from them feeling.

All blind dates don’t much different from your first date.
Hopefully with this tips you can enjoy you blind date, and get you to your another blind date.
