Unique Original Articles » Paint Your Own Ceramics Makes For Perfect Blind Dates

If you've ever been set up on a blind date you know the feeling of dread and anxiety that goes along with this event. Trying to find the ideal location and venue for a blind date can be just as nerve wracking as the date itself... or close to it. You need to find a place where both of you can be free to get to know each other without too much pressure. Movies are great, but it's difficult to judge how compatible you are with a person sitting beside you in a dark room as the smell of popcorn distracts you and your feet stick to the soda-covered floor. But meeting up at a paint your own ceramics studio in NYC is the perfect idea for many reasons (and is not likely to involve sticky floors).

Why Is This a Good Idea?

Maybe you're doubtful - and that's alright. It's good to be a little cynical before a blind date, as that helps to keep your expectations realistic. Let's look at just why a few hours of creating your own ceramic masterpiece is the ideal location for a blind date (or first date of any kind).

Activity

Every good date needs activity. Unless there is a miracle in your future, it will be slightly awkward to stare into each other's eyes for the evening. Having something useful to do with your time and hands is important. Paint your own ceramics involves many different stages of activity - from handling the piece to painting, prepping and of course cleaning up. Your attention will be taken up just enough to avoid uncomfortable silences (if it gets unbearably uncomfortable, it's safe to drop the ceramic in a dramatic way - the staff will catch on and help you out) and yet you will still have time to converse and even gaze longingly if you wish.

Creativity

This type of project will unleash a fair amount of creativity in both of you. What better way to gauge a person than by how they spruce up a bland dinner plate or handle a blank coffee mug? Use this time to examine their choices, their technique and even their hygiene. Remember that they are likely doing the same for you, so be real and let the genuine article show in your creativity. Why waste time pretending?

Sense of Humor

It is guaranteed that you will laugh while spending time at a paint your own ceramics studio. There may even be a sign on the front door that says as much. And finding out about your date's sense of humor is, is a very important step, especially this early in the game. While it would be nice to assume this information is always a good thing, many times a person's sense of humor is what makes you uncompatible for eachother.

You may discover that he can't laugh at himself or that he laughs too much at others (there are always people of varying skill levels working away at ceramic studios). Or you might find out that she laughs like a horse or snorts like a pig.

Of course, many people discover that their date has a golden sense of fun that is well suited to their own, and it's all thanks to having their first date at a paint your own ceramics shop. By all means, let your friends set you up or meet them online. But leave the movies for another night - try having a first date surrounded by ceramics. Love may be waiting.
