The Truth about Blind Dates Everyone Should Know

Once men and women reach a certain age and are still single, they often can’t avoid one thing: blind dates.

They may either eagerly want to get married quickly and hope to meet that special someone through blind dates, or they may not be keen on blind dates but succumb to the enthusiasm of those around them and end up on this path.

Whether voluntary or involuntary, blind dates to find a future partner may feel a bit forced, but in reality, as long as you meet the right person, there’s nothing wrong with it.

Many men and women who go on blind dates are not necessarily single because of their poor conditions. It could be because they are too introverted, have a small social circle, are solely focused on their careers, and haven’t considered their marriage.

Blind dates can also lead to meeting nice individuals and even the chance to find a good relationship.

Today, many people find partners through blind dates, which is a good channel.

However, during blind dates, there are some truths that cannot be ignored.

First Impressions Are Really Important

Some people think that as long as they have good enough conditions, they don’t need to pay much attention to their appearance or choice of words during blind dates, and it won’t make much of a difference.

In fact, for blind dates, the first impression is crucial.

If the first impression is bad, and the initial meeting goes poorly, then both parties are unlikely to have an interest in getting to know each other further. There won’t be a future.

During blind dates, everyone may have some grievances, so in this case, since they are strangers, there’s no need to be overly concerned.

Therefore, if you really want to find your significant other through this method, you should not only pay attention to your appearance but also to your language. Show respect and present yourself in a positive light.

Only when the first impression passes, will both parties have the desire to get to know each other more, including their character, education, and conditions.

Some may think that focusing on appearance and speech is superficial, but after all, you’re looking for someone to spend the rest of your life with. If you don’t want to see or feel that there’s no way to communicate with the person, then the future won’t be promising.

Men and Women Both Weigh Their Options

Some people often say that women are very materialistic and care a lot about whether a man has money.

But in reality, especially during blind dates, women care not only about a man’s financial situation but also his education, job, family background, and the kind of person he is.

Even during blind dates, marriage is a big deal, and women always consider it carefully.

It’s not that women are materialistic, but rather logical and clear-headed. In the adult world, this is entirely normal.

And it’s not just women who care about men. Any man with some capital will also care whether the woman is attractive, healthy, has a stable job, a good income, and the family’s financial situation.

Everyone hopes to find a partner who matches them, rather than someone who is significantly inferior and will only drag them down.

Whether it’s blind dates or meeting people in daily life, no one really needs to be labeled as materialistic. The truth is, the better you are, the more likely you are to meet someone excellent, and the more you’ll want the other person to be equally great.

It’s interesting that during blind dates, there are always those who, despite having just exchanged contact information through a matchmaker and barely met, already consider each other as a couple.

They start calling each other partners and make various demands.

This kind of instant transition from acquaintance to love, talking about marriage, may seem like they get along very well and are very determined, but more often than not, it’s just a quick determination followed by a quick breakup.

Without understanding each other’s basic situation, not even knowing each other’s name or past, talking about love is just self-deception. This kind of passion comes fast and goes even faster.

Such a relationship is irresponsible to oneself and the other person.

Even during blind dates, the natural process of getting to know each other is no different. It’s just about getting to know each other, understanding each other, and seeing if there’s potential for further development, not automatically becoming a couple and rushing into marriage.

Marriage should never be rushed. For future happiness, it’s always best to take it slow.

Some say blind dates are too practical and goal-oriented, and they dislike them.

But even if it’s not a blind date, if you happen to meet someone by chance one day, you would still carefully consider all aspects and seriously think about the possibility of a relationship.

Regarding blind dates, if they are unavoidable, we don’t need to feel burdened.

Just chat, meet, and then both parties should assess their feelings.

If it doesn’t feel right, it’s okay to let go. If it feels good, spend more time together, and then see if you can move forward based on the situation.

Perhaps, on the path of blind dates, there have been many unsuccessful attempts, but we don’t need to worry too much. Just keep trying, and eventually, we’ll meet someone who is just right for us.
