Going on a Surprise Date

Friends in the modern world often have to work hard to match their schedules for getting together, so their meetings are rare and precious. If one of the friends is in a relationship, it might be difficult for them to go out alone. They are already pressed for time, and leaving their partner behind might cause a strain in the relationship. Pleasing a spouse might push them into the unwise decision to find a date for their friend, and they can then call it a double date. It does not always work out well, but people still continue to do it.

When fixing up a friend with a blind date, it is really best to let them know what is going on. They might not take the surprise very well, and it can be awkward for everyone involved. Part of the thought to do it is the knowledge of how a friend will react, but even the most laid back person can have an off day. It pays to be prepared for things to go wrong, and it begins with meeting up at a specific time and place.

Friends going out often choose a favourite hang out where they are comfortable, but meeting at the right time might not occur. If the one arranging a surprise date for a friend is caught in traffic, it leaves a couple who do not know each other to spend time alone. They will have little to talk about, and each of them will feel burdened by waiting for the other couple. It can break the relationship before the first date has even begun.

Taking chances with the feelings and desires of friends is a risky business, so it is important to ensure everything goes smoothly on a surprise date. Most friends are forgiving when unplanned events occur, but an apology and a drink will help.
