She kept joking to me that she wasn't a creep and she looks like a nice girl. Anyway, I've never been on a blind date before but it's kind of exciting and nerve-wrecking. Facebook can be helpful or really useless depending on the situation, but I'm hoping I don't bring up a subject from something I saw on her profile haha. Any experiences with blind dates?   | ||

We wrote very brief messages, one or two lines max just agreeing on meeting up for lunch sometime. Also, just because I know what she looks like does not mean it is not a blind date in my opinion. | ||

What does the "blind" part of the date mean to you then, if you've both wrote and seen each other? | ||

Am I wrong in using the term blind date?

I'm not stressing over it, I just thought I responded way too fast but I don't mind it anymore. I'll be fine  | ||

Blind date is typically used when you're setup with someone that you haven't spoken to or seen. You've already seen what they look like, and had a conversation, albeit unrevealing. I would think that would eliminate the aspects of it being a blind date. Semantics aside, I've personally not been on a blind date, but I wish you luck :D Just relax and be yourself. | ||

If you're nervous, then you can understand how she is probably also nervous. Your most important task if you want to be able to see her again is to make sure that she relaxes. How would you behave if you were just hanging out with a female friend? Do that. | ||

 . She seems like a nice-enough girl. The thing you have to know about before you go into a blind date (forgive me if this makes little sense, I'm really headsick right now and I feel like i'll pass out lol) is that its not torture to be there. If you treat it as such neither of you will have much fun. Be cordial, nice, and most of all not an enormous anxiety ridden perfectionist. If you let the conversation flow, keep it light and be semi-charismatic you will have an easy time. | ||

I'd recommend meeting for a coffee/tea or whatever you drink and chat. I'd suggest a somewhat busy coffee shop with comfortable seats and nice 'expensive' drinks like a Starbucks. Know what you want before you get to the counter and when you get there, let her put her order in first and then add yours. Pay for the drinks. If she attempts to 'argue' about splitting the bill, tell her she can get the coffees the next time. Sit down, enjoy yourself. Report back. | ||

I think the meaning behind this is that she prob has spoken to your mutual friend about finding a guy but no girl wants to be perceived as desperate. Also if you are fds on facebook it is almost certain she has stalked you beforehand - so nope it aint a conventional blind date! Good luck, and most importantly, have fun. | ||

Writing down a list of (light-hearted) conversation topics on your phone. When you don't know someone very well and both parties are nervous, it's common for those dreaded awkward pauses to occur. Better to have an idea of what you can talk about in advance than trying to think of something to say on the spot while nervous. Other than that, a blind date is exactly like every other date. Be interesting, fun, well-dressed and socially able. | ||

Or maybe it will lead to boning, but no real connection otherwise. Well, hopefully it will be amusing for you. | ||
