subject: The Rules Of A Blind Date [print this page] Anybody can fall in love after seeing a photo on the Internet. Today many people use the Internet to meet other singles. If you want a date with somebody you've meet online, there are some issues you need to know about:
1. Be careful
Before the date try to find out as much as you can about the person, don't trust anybody. It is true you spend hours in the chat room, but this does not mean you know the person. Ask questions like age, job, don't be interested in details like how many relationships the person had, his/her parents' jobs, his/her marks at exams, etc. Be interested only in important aspects.
2. Talk to him/her on the phone
A simple conversation will tell you many things about a potential partner. You can find out details about his/her sense of humor or state of mind.
3. Choose a good location for the blind date
If he/she has already chosen a place that you don't like, say this and choose another place that offers security. A public place is the best location.
4. Don't ask him/her to come to your place
Go directly to the place you choose to meet. Maybe you will not like the person; in this case it is better that he/she will not know your home address.
5. Avoid alcohol
Nobody says you can't drink a glass of wine or two, but don't exaggerate. First of all, you may not make a good impression drinking too much and it's better to stay alert. For the first date you should order soft drinks.
6. Even if you don't like him/her, avoid showing it
You don't want this person to be embarrassed. If you feel he/she is not what you want, say you can be friends.
Anyway, be very attentive to choose the right person for you. Date a person that has the same hobbies as you or at least something in common with you
