In Chinese tradition, Chinese New Year is an important time of reunion and a good opportunity for relatives and friends to interact with each other. However, for many people, blind date activities during the Chinese New Year have become an embarrassing topic. Some people are excited about it because they have the opportunity to meet their crush, while others are restless and nervous because they don't know how to cope with the occasion.
If you are arranged to go on a blind date during the Chinese New Year, and you find out that the other party is actually your table mate back then, this will undoubtedly increase the awkwardness of the scene. In this case, you may feel a little overwhelmed because you don't know how to handle the situation. But, don't worry, here are some suggestions to help you cope with the situation.
First, stay calm and collected. Although the scene may be a little awkward, you need to stay calm and confident. Don't let emotions get in the way of your performance, and don't do things that are too impulsive.
Second, look for common topics. Since you used to be at the same table, there may be some shared memories. You can start with these topics to make each other feel closer and more comfortable. Of course, you can also talk about other topics, such as work, hobbies, etc., to get to know each other better.
Third, respect the other person's feelings. In this case, you need to respect the other person's feelings and thoughts. If the other party is not interested in the blind date or has other arrangements, you need to respect the other person's decision and do not force or behave impolitely.
Fourth, pay attention to your image. Although you already know each other, you need to pay attention to your image and appearance. Dress appropriately, neatly and cleanly, which will leave a good impression on the other person. At the same time, you should also pay attention to your words and deeds, and be polite and humble.
Finally, don't rush things. Blind date is a process of getting to know each other and takes time to develop slowly. If you don't feel like the other person is a good fit or you don't have a common language between you, don't jump to conclusions. It is okay to say goodbye politely and express a willingness to learn more about the other person's thoughts and feelings. In this process, you need to be patient and open-minded and not be overly anxious and worried.
In short, a Chinese New Year blind date is a special occasion that requires you to pay special attention to your words, deeds, and performance. If you are able to stay calm, respect the other person, pay attention to your image, look for common topics, and not rush things, then you can successfully cope with the situation and potentially bring yourself a good relationship.
