I can already hear your knees shaking just by reading this week’s title. Some of you are thinking, “Do you mean blind date?” “Yikes!” Others are thinking – “I’ve already done that and I won’t ever do it again.”

What really baffles me is when women refuse to go out on a blind date and then complain about being single, that there are no good men, and decline to go out on a date that’s being offered to them. You never know what might happen. It could be a new beginning!

In the case of a setup, someone you know thought an introduction might be worth it. Yes, it could be a total disaster.  Maybe your friend’s definition of attractive and yours doesn’t jive. Or maybe you have nothing in common and struggle to find something to talk about. But, what if he’s funny and fun to talk to? What if he’s wildly intelligent and has that dry wit you like? What if the chemistry is smoldering?

The only way you are going to find out is if you say yes to the setup. Take the risk, have some fun and enjoy your life! Every date won’t result in a relationship, and every relationship won’t last. Finding ‘the one’ may mean going out with a few frogs so to speak before you find your ‘prince.’

You can set the odds of success in your favor if the friend who wants to set you up knows your deal breakers. Just realize that depending upon what they are, it’s possible they won’t have all those answers about the man they want to introduce you to. I say go out with him anyway. You can find out the rest of the info if you and he keep dating.

Don’t deprive your friend of the review. She or he will be dying to know how it went.

Date Deliberately,

Debra
