Should You Avoid the Dreaded Blind Date?

You hear horror stories about blind dates? You hear that most people are never fixed up with anyone good. You hear that there are code words that people use when they are describing potential blind dates to their friends. You hear that a nice personality is a code for the person being ugly and you fear what the other adjectives may actually mean. For all of these reasons and more, you have been avoiding blind dates.

Yet, are you making a mistake. Are you missing out on meeting a really great guy or gal? You could think about the idea of a blind date in another way. Instead, of just thinking about the potential of getting a bad blind date, you could think about the idea of getting a good date. Yet, to get a good date, you need to think about the person or persons who will be setting up this date. This may actually be the key in getting a good blind date or a dreaded blind date.

This means you need to evaluate the person or persons who are setting up the date. You need to consider such things as:

• · Does this person have a steady man or woman in their life? Is this a person you would date?
• · How did this person meet their last steady mate?
• · Does this person have a lot of the same tastes as you do?
• · Does this person have a lot of the same moral codes as you do?
• · Does this person actually know what you are looking for in a man or woman?
• · Does this person know what you don't particularly like in a man or woman when it comes to dating? For instance, if you really do not like dating a person who has been previously married does this person know this fact?

These are the facts that may be necessary for the person to actually set you up on a blind date that has a chance to succeed. If this person, actually knows a lot about you and is a lot like you then there is a huge chance that he/she could set you up on a blind date that you will enjoy. This person may even set you up on a blind date that will have the potential into turning into your next romance.

These are the considerations you need to make. What you need not concern yourself with is the mere worry about what you hear about blind dates. Remember blind dates can be like fish tales, they can grow as the story repeats itself.
