A blind date is meeting someone you have never met before for the purpose of dating.
It is often our friends who think we are a perfect match for someone they know.
They arrange for our meeting and we land up to meet someone we don't know, someone we call our blind date.
A blind date is like any other date except that you don't have the slightest clue about him.
So you need to be extra careful about everything.
Men and women should be extra polite and put their best foot forward.
There are more things to keep in mind to make your blind date successful.
Men must try to listen more than trying to make the date listen.
Remember, a woman decides in less than a minute whether or not she should date you.
So be extra polite with her, make her feel special and let her do the talking.
Always keep the option of going out open.
If you are in a quiet place while your date likes some discotheque or some open terrace party, you should be ready with Plan B.
If you have the options on your tips, you wouldn't be confused about the venue.
And she would like your planning strategy.
Keep your eyes on her.
If you try to look at other pretty females, she will notice it and leave you.
Make her feel special by giving her all your attention.
Ask your date open-ended questions and do not ask about his ex or past.
Questions that can be answered as Yes, No and I don't know must be avoided.
Ask something that makes her smile or that lets you start a wonderful conversation.
Do not ask confusing or issue based questions.
Avoid any questions that can get you into a long discussion.
You are here to know each other and not indulge in discussions.
If you really like your date, try to let her know.
Make eye contact with her or say something that impresses her.
She might laugh when you start praising her, but she will get the idea and your intention.
Don't show off your family business or your handsome salary, luxury car etc.
What should impress your date should be you and nothing else.
Men must show leadership.
Ask her for a dance or for a long drive, ask her if she is comfortable etc.
This will show her your masculine side and impress her.
In case you find your date really nice, you must try to take her contact number or ask her how she would get in touch with you again.
If she is willing to meet you again, she would not hesitate in giving away her number else she will make some excuse and you must get the idea that she doesn't want to meet again.
You must also be ready with your alternate plan in case your date doesn't turn out to be too good.
The escape route should be such that it doesn't hurt him/her.
May be you can ask one of your friends to give you a call at a certain time to know about the date.
If it is going fine, you can tell him the positive things and hang up else you can make an excuse of your friend's emergency situation and leave.
Remember that your first blind date would determine whether or not you will get a second date with the same person.
Therefore be careful with words and actions.
