In this world of computer dating, speed dating, dating services, personal ads in the paper and other publications.....blind dates fall into 3 categories:
1. WOW!.. I can't believe my eyes!
2. MAYBE.. I can learn to love 'em
3. NO WAY..I'd rather stay home with the dog
Many of us have "been there, done that" and no doubt "don't want to do it again"! Ask me...as a Seasoned Single, I went on so many blind dates, my kids called me Helen Keller!
It got to the point that I didn't even bother to wear my eyeglasses anymore; someone would say , "You don't wear your glasses because you think you look better?" My reply: "No....I don't wear them because then I think YOU look better!"
You don't get a second chance to make a first impression..and what you say can ruin the whole date at the get-go (see above example). I always found wearing a smile was the secret..especially when you're at a loss for words (which has never been my problem..ahem).
If you find you're the only one doing the entertaining...start charging them a "cover" - plus a 2-drink minimum. Seniors get a discount! ;D
To those on the quest for the perfect mate...none exists...just "perfect for you" :D. My advice is stay relaxed, be secure in who you are, be fun to be with, and be patient, (and carry some extra cab money)...as good things come to those who wait. You may find yourself praying for an apple...but will get the whole orchard besides...then you will have the "apple of your eye" because you knew how to pick 'em ;D.
What was it about your mate that captured your attention?.. or share a favorite memory of a date you once had. Was it the thrill of victory, or the agony of defeat?
