Why Blind Dates Through Friends Suck

Have you ever on been on a blind date? Did it work out the way you expected? Did your friend you two would get along great but it was, in fact, a complete train wreck? Chances are it was a horrible failure, or maybe just awkward enough that it wasn't an experience you would want to repeat. Why was that the case? Maybe you could've gotten along in normal situations. For example, if you met at a bar or dating site. Two strangers, no expectations, just feeling it out to see what might happen.

 

There are just too many expectations when it comes to blind dates. This is especially true when the date came about through a mutual friend. All the questions run through your minds, “Can I really be my true self? Can I say that what I'm really looking for is a no-strings-attached kind of relationship?” Because of the weight of your friend's reputation you can't be as honest as you'd be with a stranger. After all, people like someone who is bold and knows what they want. Saying so simply and directly might not be something you want getting around with your friends. After all, friends are the family you choose. Dating is a different beast and can be simply about getting laid.

 

If you've been on a blind date you've at least got one thing going for you – your willingness to meet a stranger. These days complete strangers meet all the time online. It's a great, socially-acceptable way to say exactly what you want, and if you're direct, to get it. There are plenty of sites out there dedicated to finding 'true love' but also plenty designed to get people in bed with each other. To each his own. Neither is good or bad, it's simply human nature. As soon as you embrace it the sooner you are to getting the results you would like from life by going after what you really want.
