While blind dates can serve us as the much-needed getaway from our crazy busy lives, they can turn out to be quite awkward if you aren’t well prepared. And we certainly don’t want that to happen. So in this blog, we will be sharing a couple of tips to help you pull off a perfect blind date.
Excited?
Let’s get going.
Top 3 Tips to Pull Of a Perfect Blind Date
Trade Expectations for Appreciation
Expectations; it’s the one thing about humans that is overbearing. Can you recall how many times friends and families have let down your expectations? Well, it might have happened often, and we are sure it is not a good feeling.
We do this on Date nights. We drive ourselves to the dinner table with a bunch of expectations. Imaginations like their dressing style, likes and dislikes, how they look pop in our head.
But if we avoid these pre assumptions and expectations, wouldn’t that make a date more exciting and fun? Trade your expectations for appreciation and you will see for yourself how it changes your dating game.
Creating Impression with your Clothes
Meeting someone you don’t know can add a lot of pressure on creating a first impression. So, remember it is essential to choose decent clothes.
Do not go overdressed with fancy clothes or hop in your regular casual clothes. Pick out an outfit according to the place of dinner. If needed, just call up your friends and ask for their help. But keep in mind, don’t wear anything that might make you or your date uncomfortable at the dinner table.
Getting to Know Your Date
Once you both have made yourself comfortable, the next move would be to talk. Do not make the Date talking about yourself. We understand you may want to express yourself, but let your Date also speak their mind.
Get to know them and pay attention to what they are saying. By listening to each other, you just started a comfortable date night.
The brownie point; the more you know about the person, the more clear you can be about if you want to go on a second date with them.

It’s Not Okay To; (Read On)
Leave Your Date Hanging
Was the date good? Did you guys have a great time? If so, just let the person know you would like to meet again.
But if it is the other way round, do not avoid the confrontation. Be polite enough to convey what you truly feel without breaking their heart, don’t leave them hanging.
Be Judgemental
Don’t be too quick to judge your date. Even if you do not find an instant connection, Blind Dates can be weird.
Remember, even you were nervous about meeting a stranger. Take some time to know them; if you like them even a little bit, give them a shot to a second date.
Ask Very Personal Questions
If you are going to ask very personal questions on the first date, then don’t. Every person has their style of talking and sharing. It is important to know if your date is comfortable sharing.
After all, it’s your first date. Try to make it fun and light for both of you. The date can be intense once you get to know each other.
Be Something You’re Not
We all want to pull off an impression on the first date. But have you realized if going to extremes means losing or hiding the real you?
Wouldn’t it be great if you act naturally and just be yourself? This way the person gets to know you for real and even you enjoy the date. Don’t let yourself fall to become someone you are not.
It is your date; you deserve to be yourself.
Climb Your Way up to an Exciting Blind Date
A blind date can be exciting or daunting, depending on the way you roll with it. The anxiety and nervousness are normal, but we hope above mentioned tips will help you pull off a perfect blind date.
