As if first dates were not exciting enough, blind dates are all the more nerve-racking and can make anyone anxious. However, the key to a successful blind date is to remember that it’s just another meeting with a person who could be equally or even more nervous than you. So exude confidence and follow these tips.

1. Find out which venue suits her

Through the mutual friend that set you both up, find out what kind of venue would she like for the date. Is she a party girl who prefers clubs or a quiet sort of a girl who likes quaint cafes? The venue sets up the mood for the date. So if the onus to decide is on you, then you ought to know which place she would like.

2. Prepare a list of questions in your head

Since it’s a blind date, it’s obvious you wouldn’t know much about her, so mentally prepare a list of important questions that you would be asking her. You don’t want to end the date, go home and then remember vital things that you forgot to ask her, do you?

3. Dress casually, albeit smartly

Keep your outfit casual but smart. See to it that you are properly groomed, shaved, your hair is well set and clothes and shoes are neat and clean. As they say, first impression is the last impression, and you surely want to give the right impression, don’t you.

4. Don’t get any gift or flowers

Since you have never met this girl, keep things casual by simply meeting her. Don’t buy her a rose, bouquet, chocolates or some sweet gift. As much as girls like all these things, you don’t want to risk giving them to a girl you may end up not liking at all.
