We've all had them those awful dates you wished had never happened to begin with
Blind dates can be especially be tragic and you have pledged never to do that again. As a single professional its important for you not to have your precious time wasted or the money that was spent on a disastrous date
Here are some ways to head off the problem before it even starts
Blind dates dont even think about it As most know, friends are well meaning but bad blind dates can break up the best of friendships. You have a tendency to have high expectations only to be disappointed again
Pick a place or restaurant you have never been before with an ex-partner. It can prove to be very embarrassing for your date when the waitress or waiter knows you as a regular and proceeds to ask how your ex is doing.
Communicate but dont make yourself the object of attention. Talking to little is just as bad as talking too much. Let your date have equal time and make the conversation light and allow time for your date to respond to your comment or question.
Don't feel like you have to blow a lot of money, especially if it your first date. Trying to overcompensate by spending money is never a good way to begin a possible relationship. If you start out like you are a Rockefeller, they will continue to expect the same treatment time after time. There is nothing wrong with humble beginnings
Never pretend you are someone or something you are not. For starters, this is a deliberate action and will lead to trust issues once the cat is out of the bag Just be yourself and your relationship will be better for it.
Be a giver not always a receiver. The old adage its better to give than receive holds very true. Give to the other person without them having to ask. The language of love covers many aspects of a relationship from compliments to surprise gifts to hanging on to every word said will make the relationship one with promise.
Single professionals can survive first dates but how do you go about locating that person you would love to meet Many turn to a service called Matchmakers. They are trained professionals and will work with you personally to locate the appropriate date for you. Matchmakers are becoming very popular because of their positive reputation in avoiding the disastrous first date.
