How do you greet a blind date?

Question

Simple helloHandshakeHugKiss on cheek

It all depends on "What you look like" - If she is HOT, something HOT will follow a welcome smile with a hug. If she looks nice for ever lasting relationship, - a strategic move for "Slow but steady wins the race", but a welcome smile and a hug will be there.

It depends if she's attractive or not. If she's not, a simple hello will do. If she's attractive, a simple hug will do.

I would start with a simple 'hello' and possibly a handshake. But I feel like hugging and a kiss on the cheek may overwhelm the other person.

I don't think I would hug them at first... maybe by the time we're saying goodbye if I like them. A hello or a handshake is enough.

Simple hello, I hate being touched by people I do not know

SteelyMcBeam · Answer

1. Greet

2. Quick Hug IF she comes forward and starts to move into position; otherwise keep things friendly and talkative

No kissing on first date except possibly on the cheeks at the end (if things went well)

My girlfriend now was from a blind date and we have been dating for a year.  When I went to pick her up at first it was awkward, but then I saw a photo on her wall from a marathon and I am a runner that was the ice breaker the rest of the night was easy from three.

I like the idea of a nice quick hug when meeting a date. A firm handshake might feel more like a formal greeting before a job interview!

dudee NOOOOOOOO! Why do you think they call them blind dates? Cause half the time you wish you WERE blind when you go on these dates...

Hug.  Kiss at the end of the date if it goes well and feels right, although there's not always an opening for it.

Id say hello with a handshake...some girls are VERY antsy about being physically touched by a guy they don't know, so a handshake is a way to break the physical barrier without being invasive. :)

rachel05 · Answer

just say hi and introduce yourself then have small talk or something.

AlexNAVY · Answer

Handshake goes for me. It's my default form of greeting regardless of the situation.

I'd go with hello since you don't know the person well enough to do anything else.

I like a simple handshake but some people like to hug

Definitely kiss on cheek twice (that's how we do in France). But not hug
