If you don't want to, Maria will not match you with those who need this accommodation. You may lose out on connecting with someone very special.7) Be real. Be yourself. Daters are respectful and open-minded. If you're not feeling someone, maybe say "I'm feeling friendship" directly to them so they don't expect to date you.8) Arrive 5-10 minutes early to sign in and familiarize yourself with your matches. Once dating rounds start, listen to instructions. Based on Maria's pre-matches, find your seat based on a color-coordinated chart. If you're late, you will miss a potential match.
