How
To Handle a Dating Disaster
- by KissMeGoodnight.com
Even
the most well planned date can turn into a complete disaster. The keys to dealing with these disasters
as they arrive include preparing ahead of time, maintaining
a calm attitude, being honest with your date and being willing
to laugh at yourself in certain situations. Keeping these ideas
in mind will help you to weather the storms that may arise
on a date.
You and your date may be two very compatible people who are
sharing a date filled with activities that you both enjoy but
even this ideal date has the potential for disaster. One
thing that can bring an otherwise fun filled date to a screeching
halt is having the conversation come to a lull. Even two people
with a lot in common may reach a point on the date where the
both run out of things to say and the conversation becomes
awkward. This is perfectly natural as dating in itself is somewhat
awkward so it is understandable that there may be moments when
the conversation fades. Although this is natural, if you allow
it to persist the date could become a disaster leaving both
of you feeling uncomfortable. The simple way to avoid this
situation is to plan ahead and have a list of conversation
starters planned. This doesn’t mean to actually bring a list
along on your date and pull it out when the conversation fizzles
out but do think about a few interesting things you would like
to talk about on the date so that even if you get nervous,
you will have a few ideas of what to talk about.
Choosing
a very popular restaurant can also have the potential for
dating disaster. If you plan to go out on a weekend night
to a very popular restaurant you run the risk of having a substantial
waiting period before you are seated. If the restaurant does
not take reservations and you are determined to take your date
to this restaurant, be prepared for the long wait. While you
are waiting, it is important to maintain a calm attitude and
not become agitated by the length of the wait. If you become
upset, your date is likely to sense your frustration and will
also begin to feel upset. Remaining calm and keeping your date
entertained with pleasant conversation is one way to avert
the dating disaster that often results from a long wait to
be seated at a restaurant.
Blind
dates are simply dating disasters waiting to happen. Friends and family members often think that they know who your
ideal match would be but they are also often wrong. When you
agree to be set up on a blind date, it is important to go into
the date with a spirit of adventure that will enable you to
have a good time and see past any flaws that your blind date
may have. The way to truly avoid a dating disaster though is
to be honest with your blind date about your feelings. They
are likely a little apprehensive about being set up as well
but if you break the ice by letting your date know that you
are nervous they won’t feel so nervous either. Also it is important
to be honest on a blind date. Failure to do so can lead to
the disaster of having your date leave at the end of the date
with an inaccurate opinion on your view of the date. Blind
dates can be fun filled adventures if you allow honesty to
prevail.
Another
popular dating disaster involves one of the members of
the date, doing something that is embarrassing. Whether
you trip while carrying dinner from a take out restaurant or
spill hot chocolate on your date, your clumsiness is setting
up the date for disaster. It’s important to remember that these
mishaps happen to everyone and that they do not mean that the
date has to end immediately. If you are able to laugh about
the incident, your date will realize that it is okay for them
to laugh as well. However, if you are uptight about the incident
and refuse to see the lighter side, your date will feel awkward
and not quite sure what to say. Letting your date know that
you see the humor in your mistake helps to avoid a dating disaster.
Every date has the potential to lead to disaster but in most
cases these disasters are easily avoided or solved. Being calm
and accepting of your own faults are two simple ways to solve
dating disasters. Also, being prepared for certain situations
can be one way to put a quick end to dating disasters.
