Any girl knows you always have your first aid kit handy because no matter how well you plan, accidents happen. And the same goes for dating, especially blind dates; you can never be too much prepared for the eventual accidents lurking around. So the single girl needs a blind date survival guide, just in case.

Be Ready To Run

Literally and figuratively, be ready to run. For outfit, compromise between sexy and practical. Don’t give up your trendy style, however, in the rare, but life changing, event that you have to run for the hills, make sure your skirt is not to tight and your heels are not slowing you down. Have 911 on speed dial and voice recognition.

Announce that you have something in thirty minutes so you might not be able to stay for long. Have a text message ready to be sent that says “call me now” to your backup girl to give her the hint that is time to call you with the bad news. And for the backup to the backup plan, make sure he sits giving his back to the door so that you can leave on your way to the bathroom.

Be Prepared to Be Left Standing

If there’s one time you will be stood up, it’s on the blind date; interests are just very low and you never know the real story of why he agreed in the first place. So be prepared to end up alone. Bring a book; buy a new purse if you have to, but make sure you bring something to read. This way, whether your date show up or not, you will enjoy yourself.

Choose a strategic location; when a door close, another open. If one man doesn’t show up, be ready to pick up another one. It’s time to put in practice all those flirting tips you have been ready. After all, you were feeling adventurous which is why you agreed to the blind date. Don’t stop there, go the distance, seduce a better man.

Open Your Mind to The Possibility Of Fun

Blind dates are not all that bad, there are pretty good stories too but they are all outshined by the nightmares that sometimes happen. So, open your mind to the possibility of having fun. Find out as much as you can about your date and look for things you have in common. Have a few anecdotes handy and be genuinely interested in learning about the person in front of you.

As you open your mind and your heart, you might meet someone who although not right for you, is perfect for your sister. Or maybe you will learn more about yourself as you discover what you like and don’t like in a date. And there is always the eventuality that you will fall head over heel in love, but for that, there’s probably no survival guide.
