Because no ones knows you
better than your best friends, say “yes” when one of your girls wants to set
you up on a blind date.
Start with a phone call. Let her pass along your number to get the ball rolling on introductions. A few text messages are fine, but make it clear that you'd love him to call before your date. This allows you both to get to know each other a bit beforehand. You may find you already have things in common and it will make for less awkward silences on the big night out.
Facebook stalk him. You don't need me to even list this, right? Doing a little online PI work is normal. Who doesn't Google a blind date? Or at least have your friend email you a photo, so you can see if you're attracted from the start.
Dress to impress. Wear something you love. Something
that makes you feel confident. Whether you shop for a new LBD or just want to wear your favorite skinny jeans and heeled booties, it's important you feel your best.
Follow Patti Stanger’s drink minimum. Millionaire
Matchmaker’s feisty star is know to advise her clients not to drink more than two cocktails on a date for clarity. But, two drinks isn’t
much - especially if it’s a long date and you're eating dinner. Depending on your tolerance, what you dine on and how many hours you're out chatting, go for the amount of drinks that works for you personally, whether that's two or four.
Ask questions. You don’t want to feel like you’re on
an interview, but you must ask questions to learn more about him. If you’re
usually chatty and the center of attention, try to pull back a bit so he can
share his thoughts and experiences.
Don’t be negative. Because no one likes a Debbie
Downer, stay positive and keep
things light.
What do you do to enjoy a blind date? xo
