Awkward Blind Dates

So blind dates are really the definition of awkward. Two people who really don't know anything about each other set up by a mutual friend. At the beginning you are thinking that this other person must be really desperate if their friend is trying to set me up with them. But throughout the years, I have found that blind dates are good if you learn to have fun with them. There are some very "interesting" people in the world and you will probably be set up on a blind date with one of them. Just try to have fun and understand that it is only one night of your life. You are not going to die because a date was super awkward. Just think of it as a really good story to tell.

One of my friends went on a blind date last weekend. Throughout the entire date she called him Jonathon only to find out at the end of the date (by the mutual friend) that his name was really Jordan. For some reason no one wanted to correct her so she was just calling him the wrong name the whole date. This only intensifies the awkwardness of an awkward blind date. Don't feel bad about correcting someone about your name. Just think of how much awkward it would be if on your wedding day you had to tell them that they had been calling you the wrong name for months or years (or weeks if we are talking about BYU).
