Blind Dating with Open Eyes 7

A loving relationship is a priceless privilege, and surely worth a bit of effort.

'You get no second chance to make a first impression'
'It is harder to overcome a bad first impression than to lose a good one'
'If you've got 'it', flaunt it. If you've not quite got 'it', work on it, or work upon what you have got'
'Successful dating is about achieving the balance between what you feel is ideal and what you know to be reasonably achievable'
'Packaging...Politeness...Perseverance...Perspective'.
'Successful Daters invest time and effort on their image'
'Give the chemistry a chance'.
(You need to meet. Lots of repeated phone calls and letters may be a waste of time if you aren't attracted to one another when you eventually meet. Conversely, you could say something which might ruin a very good date by saying too much too early!)
'Eliminate the negative..Latch on to the affirmative..and don't mess with Mister In-Between'. People are attracted to positive, cheerful people
'Always have the courtesy and kindness to return all initial communications to yourself. Never promise to call without doing so!' In my opinion ignoring initial communications is unforgivable, as are broken promises to return phone calls.
Later on the other person may wish not to continue the contact into a second letter, phone call or meeting. That is their right.
'What you give out you get back. It costs you nothing to be kind. You haven't got to marry the person'.
