Flirt Glossary – Blind Date
A blind date is an appointment or date between two people who have not met before and know nothing or very little about each other. In the narrower sense, a blind date refers to a date where no one has seen a photo of the other beforehand. Here information can be exchanged directly in advance and you can decide in peace and without pressure who might be a good fit for you.
Blind dates are arranged much more frequently today than they were ten years ago. On the one hand, this may be due to the online dating movement. But blind dates as a special form of appointment also have a very special appeal. For many singles, a blind date is an extremely exciting and very romantic way of getting to know each other.
With a blind date, many superficialities and initial phrases can be avoided and the process of getting to know each other can be shortened.
In the practice of online dating, it is often the case that only a few details about a person or a single have been published in the single's profile on the dating platform. It may also be that no picture or photo of the single is visible. You can find the right match and sometimes your dream partner using search filters on dating sites or using scientific matching processes. Then you might get to know each other better in live chats or via private messages.
If you then notice through deeper conversations or even sometimes postal letters how well you fit together, a meeting outside of the Internet is arranged: a blind date.
Those who meet usually agree on an identifying mark so that they can find each other more quickly. This is particularly advantageous at meeting points in large city centers or in confusing areas. Here the choice often falls on a red rose - after all, the symbol of real love.
However, if you want to be more discreet, simply reveal your outfit to the other person on the day of the date, or wear an eye-catching accessory such as an umbrella or jacket over your left shoulder.
Blind dates are becoming more and more common and may be an exciting and exciting opportunity for you to get to know a nice single man or woman.
For many people, a blind date has a romantic touch. You can decide before the meeting who suits you in terms of personality and clarify values such as loyalty or an open relationship before you see each other for the first time.
Anonymity also removes any inhibitions. You confide in a lot of things even though you don't actually know the person and the excitement of the “first meeting” becomes ever greater. The expectations of a blind date are usually very high. But there is no compulsion. Everyone can decide for themselves whether there will be a second meeting. If not, everyone goes their own way and can plunge into a new adventure.
