How to handle a blind date
- Above all, remember that you are a fun person, and you can have fun in any situation.
- If possible, have lunch or weekend brunch rather than a more formal dinner -- it enables you both to be more relaxed and enjoy each other's company. Attire can also be a less formal and jeans make it easy to go for a walk after lunch if the weather cooperates.
- Try to keep your expectations under control to avoid big disappointments with the looks, weight, hairline and other physical attributes of your date. Concentrate on getting to your date's personality, intellect and interests. Attraction will grow over time!
- Dress up a little, even if the date is casual. Take this seriously and look your best. Don't wear too much make-up, but do wear enough to bring out your natural attractiveness. Blow out your hair. Janis swears men prefer this style -- rather than curly -- and will fantasize about running their hands through your hair at some later point in your relationship.
- If you are disappointed with everything about your date, try not to show it. Don't be brutal. It's only a lunch, and you never know where it might lead, or who he might know that you'd be interested in dating, or vice versa.
- If you like your date at all, go on at least three dates before you decide whether to end the acquaintance. Chemistry grows, and you may need time to nurture it.
- Kissing? If it's natural and comfortable, a romantic kiss at the end of the third date is appropriate. (Janis' rule)
