I want to meet him, but this is like a blind date. Any pointers?
I placed an ad in one of those online single sites. I got some hits and started corresponding through emails and phone calls with a guy. He wants to meet face to face. I want to meet him, but this is like a blind date. Any pointers?
It's almost like a blind date; a blind date is usually set up by someone who knows the both of you and think you will click. Online dating is setup with a click by two people who don't know anything about each other except what they exchanged in email and the phone.
But you should do the same date precautions no matter how you meet:
- Meet at a reasonable time of day. Reasonable should be considered from the time you expect the date to end not start. You want to make sure you're not going home at a time when most of the world is asleep.
- Meet at a public place for coffee or lunch. Keep the alcohol to a minimum. You want to make sure you have all your wits about you to catch any potential red flags. You want to make sure there are people around. Don't worry, if the two of you connect instantly, it will be like there's just the two of you.
- Put a time limit on the date. No matter how much fun you're having, only plan on being out for an hour or two. If you hit it off, you can make plans for another time. Cut the time even shorter if you feel uncomfortable or pressured.
- Write down his name, his contact information including phone, address, and email, his online name and the website address. Make a few copies: leave one prominently displayed in your house, and one in your car (take your own car on the first date), give one to a friend.
Of course, you might not be asking about precautions, you might want to know how to behave. In that case, you're bound to be nervous, let it work for you - admit it to him and he'll admit he is to and the two of you can continue the conversation from there. Be confident that you took precautions designed to keep you safe and let your charm flow and have a great time.
