As anyone who is single knows, blind dates are both a blessing and a curse. It's nice that your friends or family think highly enough of you to set you up...but the potential for an evening filled with zero chemistry also looms. How can you prepare for a date with someone you know so little about? Try using characteristics of their Sun sign as jumping off points. They're sure to spark a connection and get the conversation rolling.
Aries (March 21 to April 19)
You're in luck. Just the fact that you are new and different is enough to spark an interest in this pioneering soul. The challenge will be to keep your ram interested once the initial infatuation has worn off. If you decide to keep dating, plan on reinventing yourself from time to time.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)
Your Taurus is likely to be the perfect host...gallant if a gentleman and attentive if a damsel. Known for loyalty and devotion, bulls make great long-term partners -- but watch out for their stubborn streaks. Don't push them too hard or you may need to turn on your heel and run.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20)
Get ready for a gabfest. These lively motor mouths are entertaining...which makes for a great first date, but plan on keeping up with them. The worst thing you can do is bore a Gemini. Dig a little to encourage both sides of their personalities to come out. You may find it's like having two dates rolled into one.
Cancer (June 21 to July 22)
Don't expect these Moon children to reveal their deepest secrets on your first date. They often start out shy, but once you get to know them, you'll be amazed at the depth and breadth of their emotions. To gain their trust, try small romantic gestures...the key to coaxing them to open their protective shells.
Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22)
Get ready to be wooed. Flowers, candle-lit dinners...these charming pussycats have all the moves. Luckily, they also have warm hearts, so they're usually not after just a one-night stand. Highly considerate, Leos will support you through your ups and downs, but they also require a bit of pampering themselves.
Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
If there's a "what should we do" moment in your date, be decisive. Uncertainty ruffles these outwardly calm and composed individuals. You can expect heaps of kindness and sincerity mixed with a bit of perfectionism. Just keep your napkin neatly folded on your lap and you'll do fine.
