If the world was ruled by me Teddy Shabba it would be against the law to go on a "blind date." Sadly, however, for now that is not my role in life. Yet, what I can do is lay down some ground rules for men going on blind dates. 1. Make every effort possible to turn the blind date into a party. If for whoever set up the blind date can not or simply will not host a party for you to meet consider hosting a BBQ yourself. Make sure to invite all of your attached male friends this way you put yourself in a win/win situation. If she is your type and you hit it off end the party early and perhaps she'll stay and help you clean up or better yet go somewhere else. On the other hand if she isn't your type or you don't hit it off you can end the party early and tell her to go home as well or keep the party going and hang out with your friends. 2. If the party option isn't working for you take your blind date to coffee or ice cream with options afterwards just in case she does peak your interest and if she isn't your type finish your ice cream and leave. 3. Tell whoever is setting you up exactly what you will not tolerate. This way when you feel compelled to walk out you can always tell them that you told them you where picky. 4. Go into it expecting the worst. If you expect the worst, hopefully no matter what you will be pleasantly surprised. In a nut shell Blind Dates don't work because odds are if you had found her attractive you would have already made your move on her anyhow. Plus when you put two people together and say like each other the natural tendency is to start looking for flaws and the human brain has the ability to create any reality we want. |
