There will always be a time when a guy is offered a blind date. Maybe you haven't had any luck online, you've dated all the attractive females in your circle, or you've been waiting for your previous relationship to end for far too long and your friends want you to get back in the game. Whatever brought you to the blind date, understanding why women agree to a blind date will help you make the most of your experience.
1. I'm at a loss for reasons to say no.
Yes, unfortunately, one of the most common reasons a woman goes on a blind date is because she can no longer say no. Her friends have most likely been trying to set her up with you for quite some time. This isn't necessarily a bad thing; if her friends have insisted, it's because they value you, and that goes a long way with a girl. Just keep in mind that she is dreading the encounter just as much as you are, and her greatest fear is being rejected by a stranger whom she may have to meet again in the future because you have mutual friends.
2. I can't go through another Saturday night alone.
Saturday nights can be difficult for singles, especially if you're the only one in your group who isn't dating. Many women would rather risk meeting a stranger on a Saturday night than sit alone in front of the TV watching people fall in love. And going out with a stranger is far more convenient than going out alone. Although no one will come out and say it, you can tell she's going out with you because she's bored and lonely. Just don't assume she's desperate; she may simply want some company on this particular night, as do you. After all, you're also on a blind date.
3. I like your photo.
Yes, absolutely yes, if she sees your picture after all the wonderful things her friends have told her about you, if she likes what she sees, she will agree to the date because it appears to be promising. Unfortunately, this also means that her expectations are a little higher than they would be otherwise. If she has been dating online for a while, she is probably aware that a promising profile can predict attraction. Find out if she's seen your photo, and if she has, ask to see hers.
4. In Need of a Special Occasion Date
There are some occasions, particularly family ones when a girl will go to any length to avoid showing up alone. I'm sure some men have them as well. She'll be going on a blind date at one of these celebrations because she needs to find someone. And all of her girlfriends will be privy to the information. She's not looking for someone to date; she's looking for the guy who will silence all the gossip and who knows she's the object. She is looking for the right guy with the right look, manner, and status.
5. Wish to broaden your horizons
Let's face it: we only know so many people, and we don't always have time for online dating. That's where friends and acquaintances come in; they can help a girl meet new people without requiring her to spend time and energy sorting through online profiles. And, because she will share the matchmaker with the date, she will be under less pressure to come up with an interesting topic for conversation. If there is no attraction, it is also much easier to make new friends this way.
6. She is doing a favor for a friend
It does not imply that she is pitying you, but a girl will go on a blind date as a favor to a friend. Maybe your friends are sick of seeing you sit alone every night, refusing to do anything since the last girl broke your heart, and they've finally persuaded you to try it. They will ask a girlfriend to entertain you for a night or more to boost your energy and get you out of the breakup zone. But don't despair; great things can still come from it.
7. Is you Serious About Having a Relationship?
Finally, a girl will go on blind dates because she is serious about finding love. And the more people she meets, the more likely it is that she will get her to wish. She might be the one who starts them, calling up all her friends and acquaintances and asking them to set her up with every single guy they know. If you're looking, this is a good thing because she's a girl who takes the initiative. But if you don't fit the profile, she won't waste her time with you.
