Dating Younger Women

You may have welcomed online dating with open arms, but you have remained wary of the granddaddy of courtship; the blind date. Some people confuse the two, but with internet dating you can actually end up getting to know quite a bit about someone before you actually meet in person. As opposed to, say, being setup on a blind date by your neighbor who has this absolutely wonder nephew; need I say more?

A lot of people, whether they’re internet dating or not, have a thing about being set up on a blind date. They think no one knows them better than they know themselves and therefore no one could find potential matches for them. They’re wrong, and if you keep reading you’ll find out why;

1. Lack of time

Rather than focusing all your time and energy on your career, friends, (perhaps) children, yourself not to mention some semblance of a dating life, why not unload some of the burden on others? Specifically, the dating part.

Which you well know is something that your friends would be only too happy to help you with. There are no guarantees of course, but there are no guarantees about anything in life. It could just as easily turn into a great date as a dud. At the end of the day (or evening) it’s just one date.

2. If things work out

you’ll have a terrific story to tell everyone when they ask how you met. Blind dates rank pretty high on the list of romantic “how we met” stories.

3. Our friends know us really well

Oftentimes our friends will have a better idea of who we should date than we do. This is especially true if we habitually date the same (and wrong) kind of people. This is something that most of us are loath to admit, so why not let your friends in on the decision making? Chances are you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

4. It’s practically risk free

No matter whom you go out with, a date gone wrong is never fun. Unlike dating a co-worker or that cute gal down the hall, you never, ever have to see a blind date again. All of which can make your Monday morning that much more palatable; Mondays need all the help they can get!

5. Opens you up

Once you start making it okay for yourself to accept blind date suggestions from people, suddenly you have the potential to have dates coming in from all over the place: co-workers, family members, etc. That’s a way more broad-reaching net than just trying to do it yourself.
