The Pathophysiology of a Blind Date

Etiology: stems from the primordial need for a relationship

Physiology:
A blind date is a mechanism of effort. One has to go through a blind date to find a cure. It’s a defense mechanism. Everyone has this as an alternative for a CHD (chronic heart disease). It works this way; a person you love hurt you, you broke up, you’re lonely, alone and depressed. Suddenly your whole body aches. You are desperate to have that feeling of being loved again. And you want to be loved again. You do all silly things to find someone who has the cure. And you end up on a blind date. Basically in a blind date you meet someone whom you really don’t know or perhaps barely know. You have dinner, or watch a movie or have coffee...just enough to kill the time while you two are together. After a while you get the feeling of likeness between the two of you. A mutual understanding for that matter. And you go on having more dates and you eventually become committed to one another. And thus a “relationship”

Pathology:
Going through a blind date is perilous. It’s like entering a cave without knowing if there is a way out. You just can’t see a light. But for some who’s courageous enough to trek the entire cave, a light can be seen. But for the most part you can’t see anything. That’s why it is called a blind date in the first place. There are three possible scenarios for this case. Its either the one you met likes you but you don’t and vice versa or both of you don’t like each other which in the most likelihood of events is but a waste of time. Rejection is inevitable in all forms of a blind date. And it’s hard to reject people mind you; much harder than to be rejected. Either way you just have to accept the fact that it is bound to happen. And when it does it could crush all the littlest confidence you have.

Medication:
Enormous dosage of confidence. No matter how ugly the outcome of a blind date could be as long as you have confidence any side effects could be eliminated easily. Or if you are allergic to confidence (just like i am), don’t try going to a blind date until prescribed by your love doctor. One word of advice...blind date should be undergone gradually. Trust me!
