Any advice for a blind date?

I'm going ice skating with my friend and her boyfriend,another couple, and this other boy. My friend thinks that we would be perfect for eachother but I'm really shy at first and want to make a goodfirst impression! What are some good convo starters or questions to ask him? Any other tips? Thanks in advance! Any advice for a blind date?
Make a conscious decision not to be self conscious! Be yourself. If you two hit it off, he'll want to know the real you anyway.





Instead of focusing on wearing, doing and saying the right things, focus on him and making him comfortable. He's naturally going to feel a little awkward, so if you relax it'll help you both feel more at ease. You can even address the fact that blind dates are awkward! You two already have that in common.





Ask him what he does when he's not in school. Does he have any brothers and sisters? Pets? If so, what kind? What's the pet's name? How did you arrive at name? Is he into sports, computers or what? Follow up with... ';Really, what is it that you like so much about that?'; When you ask a question, really listen to his answer. That will prompt other questions if you're genuinely interested in him. Again, that's the key: focus on his comfort, not your own.Any advice for a blind date?
just be yourself. smile at him. and let things just happen at first.


then, if nothing happens you can ask him if he likes the song playing or what he likes to do. hopefully after that you will click a little and it will get easier


but DON'T be awkward, especially since its a couple thing
Just wing it, be yourself and just treat him like a person not a ';guy.'; That's all you really can do.
