So, let's put it on the shelves, like adults (but with a sense of humor and a glass of something tasty).
Pros of a blind date:
1. SURPRISE EFFECT 🎁
Like in a chocolate bar with a prediction: what if you get a prince? Or at least with normal teeth and a sense of tact.
2. OPPORTUNITY TO REBOOT 🔄
You don't owe anyone anything - no tons of makeup, no details about your exes. You can be yourself... Well, almost yourself (let's be honest, we'll still leave filters in our heads).
3. PLOT FOR A STORY ✍️
Even if the date turns out to be a failure, this is material for a soulful party with girlfriends:
"And then he said that he grows cacti and talks to them!" 🌵😆
Cons of a blind date:
1. THIS IS INCONVENIENT... 😬
You come, look... and internally scream:
"Where is my exit?!"
And he is already waving his hand at you, happy, calling... and you can only smile, as if everything is going according to plan.
2. DISCOUNT OF EXPECTATIONS 📉
You are heels, perfume and elegance.
He is sneakers, a T-shirt with the inscription "I don't eat broccoli" and is convinced that the best gift is a pack of sunflower seeds.
3. NO RIGHT TO CANCEL 😅
If this were Tinder, you would just swipe left and that's it. But here - they've already ordered coffee, and it seems rude to run to the toilet and disappear.
💡 And yet...
A blind date is like a lottery ticket. Yes, you can not win. Or you can fall in love. Or at least drink coffee in a new coffee shop and discover your acting talent when you pretend that everything is fine. 😏
My advice?
Go. With a light heart, a sense of humor and a taxi at the ready.
What if there is not just a date, but the first page of a new chapter?
