Blind dates: Changing the way of dating!

If you want to strike terror into the hearts of singles, just mention two words:

                                BLIND DATE

Ok! Let’s be convinced that there are only two good outcomes: You get an amazingly SUPER date and you fall in love with her/him or you get a TERRIBLE date. The idea of going on a blind date can be nerve-wracking at times. But, then when we hear some blind date stories from both ends of the spectrum, we’ve got tales of blind dates that had led to wedding bells and babies. Also, they can also be fun and full of laughter too. Yes, they can be fun especially, when you know the right key to make your blind date run smoothly and happily. So, here are a few variables that we thought might influence the failure or success of a date-hoping to find some good blind dates for you.

• 

• WHAT’S THE SCENE: People keep asking us if the context of a date matters. Should they pick their date up from their home? Where should they meet? At home? At street? and bla bla bla…Yes, it does matter!
• POWER BODY LANGUAGE: Yes, body language plays an important role in attraction, first impressions, and romance. So, one of the body language variables that is incredible is the powerful body language. It quickly decides the success and failure of your dates in the first seven seconds of the couples seeing each other. Other variables too are crucial for your blind date to be successful:
• BROADNESS: Are their arms loose? Are their shoulders relaxed? These things are quite noticeable.
• OPENNESS: Is their torso open, or are they covering their body with an arm or purse?
•  FRONTING: Is the person sitting in front of you angling his/her toes and head towards you?
• VISIBLE HANDS: Are their hands hidden in pockets.

                     These things would make your date go worse and better.

• A SMILE CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING: One of the most common dating advice for people is ‘smile more’. So, we wanted to put this to test. Does your smile matter in the first few seconds of seeing each other? Did they smile at each other? How authentic and big was their smile?
• THAT ‘GREETING LINE’:  That opening line can be intense for a couple on a blind date. Hence, we keep coding:
• The verbal part of the greeting.
•  Who spoke first-the woman or the man?
•  The non-verbal gesture like the hug, the handshake, the side hug, or the kiss.
• Their behavior: awkward, weird, comfortable

• THE ATTRACTIVE BODY LANGUAGE:

                     When it comes to finding the non-verbal signs of attraction, look for:

• THE EYEBROW RAISE: Do they raise their eyebrows at any point during the first few seconds? It is a sign of engagement.
• THE LEAN: Are they leaning towards you? It is a sign of comfort.
• TOUCHES: Do they touch the other person beyond the greeting? Typically, the more someone touches their skin, the higher level of attraction.
• THE HEAD TILT: Does their head tilt? It generates curiosity.
•  SELF-TOUCH: Does this person touch their jewelry, neck, or body? It is a sign of nervousness or attraction.

REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD GO ON FOR A BLIND DATE:

• 

           1.) It is convenient for people who have a hectic lifestyle:

  We know that going on a date brings up nausea. But as we all live a busy life, we fail to meet our ‘better halves. Hence, a blind date is a wonderful chance to meet someone new and share your unique stories with them.

           2.) Other people are often better matchmakers than we are for ourselves:

Yes, that is the truth! Our closest people know us better than we know ourselves. Letting a loved one set you up with someone they like would be perfect for you is an apt way to find your right pair.

3.) Encourages you to date more:

So, if you have been stuck in a rut then, going on a blind date could just be your thing. A successful blind date can give you some encouragement to go on more dates.

4.) No harm, no foul:

  There is nothing to lose by going on a blind date. The worst thing is you may have wasted an hour at a restaurant. In the end, going on a blind date has a ton of pros and few cons. Rest be assured even if things don’t work, you will never see them again.

Hence, take a chance! Call your best friend and ask her to set you up and see what this universe has to offer you.
