How do you go about blind dates? Suggestions please. I got one coming up and I've never been on one. How much different from a regular date should I treat it?
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

Question: What makes it any different than any other date?

You dont have a decent idea of her IL in you, as opposed to meeting/knowing her before hand.
That to me is all the difference in the world.

So how do you do it with a woman you meet or know before hand? Do you talk to her? Do you ask her questions? Do you tell her about yourself? Do you exchange stories?
If you did, why the hell wouldn't you do the same thing with a woman on a blind date? Why make it so difficult?
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Seeing that I would only go out with 1 out of 10 girls that I normally see, a blind date is a bad idea, most likely she's not going to be that hot.
