You don't really know the person's likes or dislikes so what is the best thing to do on a blind date?

long time since i went on a blind date, i was set up by a friend. i could have met the guy before hand if i got of my butt and went down the pub, to see my friend that had set me up. i just acted like my self, and talk about what ever you want to.

Sitting and talking at a quiet pub would be a good blind date.

nah my best mate at the time was there, her mother helped set it all up. cause she didn't like my mates b.f, there was also a neighbor who made sure the guy that was taking me out was to look after me. so my best mate and i, went to a school fundraiser ball. it was a good night, out and i was looked after.

This is a good issue,you know,I have very little chances to know new girls in my life because of my work.I was always working in the Office,and live a life in my familiar friends circle.Then I try to look for girls on the marriage net in China. I can see a lot of information about the girl but that is just nonsense.The things in the net are just unrealistic.After a few times of the net talk.I will date the girl.but it always turned out to be totally different from my imagination which you can put it blind date.Usually,I will buy the girl a meal or drink and sit talking or go to a park or go to see a movie.

Sitting and talking sounds great. That way you can really get to know the person.

I would suggest asking the person about themselves, and maybe they'll follow their lead, and ask you, and maybe you'll get to know eachother that way. LOL

HAHA good one. The best thing to do on a blind date is wear a blind fold lol. Just Kidding. Hmm everyone has an expectation. It's a 50-50 chance that the other fulfills yours expectation or may be not and also you do the same or not. But even if the other doesn't matches your level, either look-wise or in manners or anything but there should be some respect with which you should treat your partner and let him/her know whether they are liked by you or not. That's what i understood and felt. Take Care Hapy Mylotting after a long time;)

The last blind date I went to was a total disaster, lol!Actually not the date itself, butwhat came after. Glad you asked this though, bcecause it brought a smile to my face. I was in highschool and the guy was my best friends cousin. The first date was cute, he took me to a park, and we drank a soda and talked the whole afternoon. We saw eachother a couple more times, but I was very busy with my mid terms. He thought i don't like him because i refused to meet him once and he locked himself in his room for 3 weeks!! I was 17 and he was 20. I found out about this one year later from my best friend and I was totally shocked. She had just found out as well. He didn't seem to like me too much when we met and yet he suffered so much?! Neither of us knew what to believe anymore! One thing about blind dates : you never what kind of freak you might meet, so you best be carefull! Best thing to do at a blind date is to ne as neutral as possible and try to figure out the person standing next to you. And the best way to do that is to take him'her to a public cafe and chat.

I think something active like a walk or bowling is best for a blind date- it keeps the date moving. Going to a restaraunt or a movie can get awkward really easily.

I'm not going to go on any blind dates soon. I am looking forward to time to myself. Also getting to know myself and my problems and solutions. I find that there are problems that I have that I wouldn't have thought about. I hid them from myself, but they are important to me. They are important to me, and I am hoping to acknowledge them soon. But of course this won't happen in a short time, but a very long time I am thinking.
