Blind Date
Blind date with your chat mate
It starts with an exciting online chat then moves on to the phone before arranging to meet face to face. The internet has done away with "real" blind dates, thank goodness!. Video chat especially removes the chance of any unwelcome surprises but the excitement and anticipation before the first physical meeting with an internet date are as potent as ever. Will we get on so well in real life? Is he a gentleman? Does her voice sound the same as on the phone? Will it click in real life, too? A hot flirt is guaranteed.
The date itself
You've agreed to meet your internet accquaintance face to face. But where? Advice on where not to meet seems to be easier to find:
- Never at home
- Not at your local
- Definitely not in a hotel bar - unless you definitely want to end up in bed!
Of course, ending up in bed is exactly want some blind daters want from their date. And as long as that's clear for everyone from the outset then there's no reason why not!
A blind or casual date at home is a no go. Choose a neutral venue like a coffee shop, quiet restaurant or gastro pub, just not your local. It should be a public place you both don't regularly visit. That way neither of you has home advantage.
