I would find a guy who said something like that pretty boring. Honestly, both “jokes” you mention are really bad – so bad that at first I thought that advice was meant as a joke.

Sometimes the girl introduces you to a cool girl. Sometimes they don't. Ain't that the magic of it all :) Zubif, just follow the advice in this post, and generally read some posts and comments around the site. Good luck! Jason, you’re right.

Usually, if you are a guy and one of your guy friends is hooking you up, it's because the girl is quality and he just can't date her for whatever reason. Maybe he's married, got a girlfriend, or just can't get her. If you're a guy and a girl is hooking you up... different story. The girl's loyalties usually belong to her girlfriend, and she may be just trying to help out a friend who can't find a date, and you are just part of the equation. Sometimes a girl introduces you to a cool girl though. Hope the blind date goes well.

On one side, you have never met. But on the other, it's you who sets up the date. So I guess it's hard to say. And haha, I just love it when women comes here. Just like men who reads cosmo to learn how to women thinks, this blog is great for women to see how men thinks. Yes, you shouldn't even have 1 second to think about something else than the men besides or in front of you. When you begin thinking about getting home etc. I would say the date is over. But if you have a great stimulating (and fun) conversation, no one wants to go home! Thanks for your comment, I really get your point, and totally agree :) Alex Hey JEMi,

I've never been on a blind date. (wait - does online dating kind of count?) but your tips are useful and make sense even though - yes - I'm a woman on your man site :-P To underscore what you said about creating jokes to lighten up the atmosphere - I would say not being uptight and being able to smile is critical - at least to me. It's the worst thing when you're out with someone who just doesn't contribute to a positive, pleasant atmosphere. That's when I would mentally kick myself as I secretly long for some ice cream and Soaps instead of wasting an evening with someone. .. Great post lol :) now that I think about it..

I think you're right, "breaking the ice" with laughter is really crucial to get a great blind date. And I agree also that the girls are often just as - or more - nervous than the guys. They just hide it better. Thanks for your comment. Hey Ryan,

I liked the fun banter about being a creeper, good advice all around. It's great to get them laughing because they are probably more nervous than you. Great article.
