Mr Bitter Guy says ...

Aside from the usual (tell everyone where you're going, meet in a public place yada, yada) wear clean underwear, clean clothes and brush your teeth (if you have any).

If you're a guy, trim your 70's porn moustache.

If you're a girl, trim also your moustache.

Don't talk about why you miss your ex-gitlfriend/boyfriend, why your ex-boyfriend/girlfriend was such a tool or how miserable your life is now he/she left but you think you might be over it. You're there to get a new boyfriend/girlfriend. The last thing your prospective partner will want to hear is how great/miserable/boring your ex is. It's about you and the person you're meeting. Not anyone else.

Talk and listen and respond accordingly. Be happy -- smiling is the best thing anyone can do ever.

Relax -- it's not a job interview.

Don't get horrendously drunk -- you'll forget everything the other person said and end up vommiting in their beer/lap/bed/aquarium and that'll make the second date difficult.

One final tip, arrange to meet outside the cafe/bar/theatre you intend to have the date at. Wait down the street on the opposite side so you can see the entrance. When your date turns up you'll be able to see if he/she is a horny, little minx or a delicious, rippling stud-muffin. If they're butt-ugly you can walk away with no embarrassment. The mere fact that you stood them up on your first date will ensure they have nothing to do with you ever again. Unless they're a freak, which they might be if they're that ugly.

So my final, final tip is to use a friends cell phone so that you never have to give out your own number.

Good luck on your blind date and have fun!
