Are You Going On A Blind Date?

Sheila was at home relaxing after working earlier during the day at her job. She decided to playback her telephone messages on her answering machine. As she was listening to her messages she came across a message from Dennis. Dennis was a guy that Sheila had been chatting with via an internet dating website for the past five months. She had never met Dennis in person.

She replayed his telephone message several times trying to decide what she should do. Dennis seemed like a nice guy, but Sheila was not sure if she should go on a blind date with him. He had left a message wanting to know if she would go out with him.

After thinking about the message from Dennis, Sheila decided to return his call and agree to go on a blind date with him. Sheila wondered how the two of them would go about getting the ball rolling for their date. Well Sheila, you and Dennis may want to consider some of the following tips for your blind date:

Tip One:

Plan to meet your blind date at a public place such as; a restaurant, coffee shop, museum, art gallery, etc… Just make your first date simple and easy with no strings attached.

Tip Two:

Make a great impression on your blind date by dressing appropriately for your date. That’s right, dress to impress. You may only get one chance to make a lasting impression for your date, so do your best.

Tip Three:

Just be the person you really are. Meaning the real you is the person your date would like to see and hear. Keep in mind most people are looking for honesty, truth and realness in relationships. The person you date should know who you really are so there are no surprises later on down the line if the person you date becomes a permanent mate.

Tip Four:

Get your conversation started with topics you think may be interesting to you and your blind date. For example, you could talk about current events, hobbies, entertainment or sports. This is a good way for the both of you to break the ice on your date.

Tip Five:

Let a family member or friends know who, when and where you’re going on your blind date for your safety. Keep in mind you do not know the person you’re going on a date with and your safety should be a primary goal when you date.

Tip Six:

Enjoy yourself, relax and have fun with your date.
