"Blind Date" TV Show - Learn What NOT To Do On A First Date!

So, here is a typical "blind date" scenario from which you can learn how to avoid big mistakes and do much better on all your future first date.

 

A guy comes up to a woman he is supposed to meet.

 

Mistake #1: He is wearing sun glasses. Not having an eye contact with a person you just met is certainly detrimental to developing that initial attraction and interest, and it creates artificial distance between people.

 

Lesson: Don't wear sun glasses on your first date. Well, at least not at the very beginning of it. Especially if it's a blind date.

 

Then the two get into a car and start traveling somewhere. At this point, even if the guy weren't wearing glasses, he makes no eye contact with a woman he just met because he has to keep his eyes on the road. Same problem - no eye contact. Lesson: don't start driving right after you met. Spend some time together sitting down and talking or walking before you start going somewhere together.

 

Mistake #2: Typically, the two start talking about the most boring and cliche topics. "Where are you from?" "What do you do?" and "How many siblings do you have?" are typical questions that make a conversation boring and predictable. Lesson: don't rush to ask those questions. Instead, imagine as if you were talking to someone you already know. Share your views and opinions on things, joke and make fun of things and of yourself and ask those "typical" questions on occasion, but not all at once in a row.

 

Mistake #3: Later, a guy inevitable starts asking "status" questions such as "Do you like me so far?" "Am I your type?" etc.... This is about the most unattractive thing a guy can do on a first date. It literally telegraphs his insecurity and desperate need for validation from a woman. No woman likes that. Lesson: avoid asking "status" question. If you can't tell whether the other person likes you or not, he/she probably doesn't. Accept it with grace and move on.

 

Mistake #4: The two have too much to drink and start saying and doing things that they will later be embarrassed about. Lesson: simple enough - avoid drinking too much or even better - avoid drinking at all on a first date. Alcohol will never make you put your best foot forward, and you are much more attractive when you are lucid and your eyes are straight.

 

Mistake #5: Two people spend the entire day together. There is no reason to spend an entire day with a person who you just met and you hardly know. Even best friends often get tired of each other after spending time together, so why should two strangers do that? Lesson: limit your first date to 2-3 hours. This is long enough to know if you want to see each other again, and if you do, you will have plenty of time in the future to do the things you want together.

 

The above 5 mistakes are very easy to avoid and they will make a big difference toward your having better dates.
