LOVE IS BLIND DATING TIPS

“Love is Blind” on Netflix is the most fascinating show, and its unique approach to matchmaking has me considering how a slightly different version may work with senior adults where I live.  I’ll save that for another blog post!  Personally, I find “Love is Blind” to be an emotional rollercoaster especially with the real-world cohabiting interactions start.  It’s highly entertaining, and I recently finished the Brazil season with a very diverse cast—no spoiler alerts from me.  I’ll only say it gets wild at the end!!

I started the London season yesterday, and I am hooked!  I love all their sayings and can’t wait until the new episodes will be released on Wednesday.  And if you hear me using “mate,” “fancy,” “chuffed,” and “cheeky,” you will know why!  The London season could be my favorite season yet.  We will see what the Mexico season brings.

Now, some would say I’m a dating expert, and perhaps I am. I like to think of myself as a dating guru, everyone’s dating hype guy, and a successful matchmaker. As I look to pursue this avenue professionally in the near future, I’m collecting best practices from shows like Love is Blind, The Golden Bachelor (and soon Bachelorette), and Perfect Match. 

Here are some tips that I have recently added to my toolbox:

Emotional connection is a nice place to start, but if the physical connection is not present, nothing will happen. As soon as those doors open and each person is making their way to the other, it’s pretty obvious when the physical connection is not there. The premise of Love is Blind is noteworthy, but let’s face it: emotional connection can only take you so far!

Effective and open communication is a must for establishing expectations and determining whether each other’s relationship and life goals align. Again, I will not give show spoilers for the London season, but talking about starting a family early on when getting to know each other is super important.

Get names right. Come on, ya’ll, it’s so easy. If you’re dating multiple people, take your creatine and keep their names and personal details straight; otherwise, you’re going to embarrass yourself. 

If someone says “You have to trust me” more than one time ditch the person immediately. It’s a red flag and annoying. People need to show concrete evidence and not create a sense of pressure or urgency by repeating such a patronizing phrase.  RUN, GIRL!  And you if have watched London you know who I’m referring to!
