Blind dating is great for people who like a bit of excitement in their lives or for folk who are having trouble finding the right one.
What sets these dates apart is the total surprise and the array of possible dates.
That said, it is just as possible that you will have a bad date as you will a good one.
With this in mind, there are a several things that you need to keep in mind and a manner you need to go about with.
It makes sense to prepare, find out as much as you can about your date as you can from the person who organized it.
However, don't make snap judgments on them based on this information, it is good to stay unresolved.
Make sure you go somewhere that you can have a good conversation, not a place that has noisy music playing, as talking is the key.
If you are a lady, then it makes sense to arrange to meet in a public area just in case, as the person is basically an unknown to you.
Once you have told each other a little about yourself, the discussion will probably move on to your opinions about certain things.
It pays to try and keep the discussion casual to begin with and steer clear of 'heavy' areas that may be a sore point or create antagonism.
Make sure that you are as nice and charming as possible, even if you have decided that you are not interested in the person at all.
If this occurs, try and end the date as politely as you can.
As for your farewell, you should only do what feels comfortable for you.
You might want to give them a hug and a kiss, or maybe you want to avoid physical contact for now.
You need to thank them for the date and say that it was fun, no matter what.
Make sure to indicate to them if you want to have another date, but don't try and organize it right then.
