Blind Dates

Setting Someone Up on a Blind Date

We all want to see our single friends and family happy, and if we can assist in helping them in finding the perfect match, even better. But before you start playing matchmaker, take a moment to think about whether or not the two people you have in mind will actually work out for each other...or for you. If the two don’t get along romantically after the first date, it’s usually no big deal. But imagine things do go well for a while and then the relationship ends. If you’ve made a connection between two friends, are you prepared to lose one or both of those friends? What about co-workers? Will their soured relationship have an effect on your job? You may wish to speak privately to both of the people you are setting up and explain that while you hope all will go well, you want them to know that no matter what happens you hope it will not affect your relation ship with each of them individually.

Anyone who’s been set up on a blind date has the same question in the back of his/her mind: What if I don’t like him/her? If you find yourself in the situation of disliking a blind date, the best dating advice is to shift the gears of your verbal and body language as quickly as possible from potential mate to potential friend. Steer conversation away from romance and toward more general get-to-know-you topics. Even though you both may not be a romantic match, there’s no reason why you may not have other things in common that will keep you in each other’s lives. Presumably, there was some reason why you were matched up in the first place!

If your blind date is not even someone you’d want as a friend, end the date as quickly and politely as possible. Be sure to tell the person who set you up on the date the type of person you are looking for so s/he won’t make the same mistake again!

The actual act of meeting a blind date is usually stressful enough, but planning a blind date can leave some singles clueless. Here are a few tips to help make your first meeting a pleasant one:

1. Choose to meet in the afternoon for coffee or tea.
2. Select a neutral location such as a park or a museum.
3. Invite your date to a mutually-interesting event such as a sporting event or a film.
4. Have a couple of options in mind, in the event that plans change at the last minute.
