So you\u2019ve set up a blind date. And now you\u2019re asking whether he\u2019s going to be the man of your dreams or someone who you\u2019d totally cross the road to avoid.<\/p>\n
But don\u2019t worry. Here are 5 tips on surviving your next blind date\u2026<\/p>\n
Keep it simple. <\/b>Don\u2019t go for anything too elaborate for your first date. After all you\u2019re going to want to get out of there if he\u2019s not for you. So stick to a date that\u2019s pretty simple like coffee or cocktails.<\/p>\n
Have an escape plan. <\/b>We know this doesn\u2019t sound as though you\u2019re really in to the date but having a plan of how you can leave without being insensitive to the other\u00a0 person is a good idea. It maybe a good idea to start the date by saying you only have a limited amount time. If you get on then you can always \u201ccancel\u201d your other plans.<\/p>\n
Be yourself. <\/b>One of the most important tips is to just be yourself. Have fun, relax and just see this as meeting a new friend instead of pressuring yourself to think you\u2019ve got to be super impressive.<\/p>\n
Bring a friend. <\/b>Most of the time, <\/b>blind dates are AWKWARD. So to save yourself from hours of staring at the clock and long, awkward silences then bring a friend and ask your date to bring one of his. Handy if you both have single friends looking for love.<\/p>\n
Be positive. <\/b>Go in with a positive attitude. If you go in with negative thoughts then it\u2019s not going to work out. Even if it turns out that you don\u2019t have any romantic feelings you could very well find a good friend.<\/p>\n
