When you’re being set up on a blind date, things could go either way: you might have a fun experience or you might end up cursing your matchmaker. Even if the outcome of the situation isn’t completely up to you, there are many things you can get right or wrong.
Check out the best tips for a successful blind date and discover how you can make the most out of the situation even if you find there’s no chemistry between you and your date.
Don’t Go In With a Negative Attitude
If you start cringing the moment you hear the words “I have a friend...”, you’re setting yourself up for a negative experience. Try to stay positive about your date. Even if they don’t end being someone you want to see again, your date’s best friend could be your soul mate.
Have a Say In Planning the Date
Before you agree to a time and place, one of the best tips is to contact your future date, and see if they’re already working on some plans for the date. It’s always best to keep it short and meet in a public place where you don’t depend on your date for getting back home. Start with an email exchange before you move on to a call and making definitive plans for the date. Drinks are better than dinner, since you’re not stuck until your main course gets to the table.
