What do you consider a successful blind date? For many of us, if we can make it through the experience without having to run away screaming, the blind date can be considered a success. It doesn’t have to be this way. At Vital Partners, we make it our business to eliminate the need for blind dating.
HOW BLIND DATES WORK
The traditional blind date is set up between two strangers by a mutual acquaintance. Because the daters know next to nothing about each other, it is up to the acquaintance to match them with someone that they will click with. The person setting up the date may be trying to bridge the gap in two circles of friends, perhaps between childhood friends and university classmates, or they may be dipping into their pool of friends to help find a match for a family member.
Although there are examples of couples who met on a blind date hitting it off, this tends to be the exception rather than the rule. As hard as it is to accuse our friends of nefarious motives, quite a few blind dates seem to be for the amusement of the person setting up the date rather than the people actually going out.
IS TECHNOLOGY DOING AWAY WITH BLIND DATES?
Some experts feel blind dates are a thing of the past. One reason for this is that there is so much information available through the Internet and social media. Daters often investigate each other, at least a little bit, before the actual meeting. However, this can be enough of an invasion of privacy to sabotage a relationship before the first blind date meeting.
The real killer of blind dates is that they are no longer seen as a necessary part of the dating experience. Why risk a terrible evening on a blind date when there are plenty of people you can meet through an online dating service The big difference between an online hookup and meeting for a blind date is that with a blind date there is at least your mutual acquaintance to vouch for the other person. When you meet online, all you really have to go on is what the other person has written in their profile. Believe it or not, people have been known to stretch the truth in their On-Line Dating profiles.
