You’ve been loveless for quite some time so one of your best buds decided to set you up with someone you never met even if you don’t want to. Yes, you are going on a blind date and you don’t know what to do.

Answered prayer. Check out this guide, do’s and don’ts, and basic etiquette before dating a stranger.

1. Check Her Out – But Not Too Much

If you have a common friend, check out her profile on Facebook or Linked In to have an idea of how she looks or where she works. However, don’t overdo it and stalk her photos or Facebook page. Leave some mystery so you have something to talk about.

2. Dress to Impress

This is your first date with someone you barely know. Even if things may turn out not that good, it is still best to go on a date looking at your best self. How you dress could already give her an idea of your personality. If you showed up on a date wearing mismatched socks or a shirt that looks like it needs some ironing, then you are sending a message that she is not that important and worth your time to even dress up nicely – and it’s not good.

3. Enjoy and Go With The Flow

A blind date is like any other date – except for this scenario, it is the first time you’ll meet her. Nevertheless, just relax, enjoy, and go with the flow. Don’t take things too seriously by dwelling into more serious topics like politics and religion. Just enjoy the night and be comfortable.

4. Be the Best Gentleman You Can Be

This may be a blind date and you don’t know your date that well. Still, it’s not an excuse to act like a bastard. Remember the basic dating etiquette like keeping your phone on your pocket, opening doors for her, not talking about exes, paying the bill, and the list goes on. Maintain a level of decency and respect as well and don’t forget to text her about how you enjoyed her company.

5. Be Yourself.

You are tasked to be the perfect gentleman, but this doesn’t mean you should pretend to be someone you’re not. When going on a blind date, it is important to just be yourself and don’t pretend to be a rich guy from the Hamptons who owns a chain of restaurants. She’ll figure it out in case you are pretending so it is best to stick to who you are.

6. Keep Your Expectations Realistic

More importantly, be realistic. You are meeting an average, normal person, not some Victoria’s Secret model. Don’t expect to hit off and get in her pants five minutes after seeing each other. She may not be the one either so stay away from future-slash-marriage talks. Instead, take it slow and steady. Otherwise, having high expectations could lead to disappointment, especially if things didn’t go the way you plan it to be.

Blind date could be a make or break deal. The important thing is to simply enjoy the experience. Who knows, she might be the woman you are waiting for.
