Dating tips from the ultimate dating site
Be nice – to everyone
If you’re out at a restaurant, make sure you’re not only charming your date but that you’re being polite to the staff too. You may think that being rude to your waiter makes you look confident and in control, but to your date it just makes you look like you’re happy to treat people, including them, badly. Don’t go too far though, or you could end up spending the evening flirting with anyone who comes within ten feet of you which won’t go down too well with your date.
Be on time
If you don’t want your date to feel like they’re right at the bottom of your list of priorities then get there in plenty of time, even if you end up waiting in the car for ten minutes so as not to appear over-eager. There’s no such thing as “fashionably late”, and ladies this applies to you too – as much as men are rumoured to enjoy the thrill of the chase, there’s no fun to be had from sitting alone in a restaurant for half an hour, wondering if you’ve been stood up!
Think ahead
If you’re asking someone out on a date, make sure you’ve thought about where to go and what to do. If you’ve been building up to asking someone out for a while then being given a “yes” might set your mind spinning a little, and if you get a sudden a mind-blank at the crucial moment you could come across as either not being that into the idea, or as someone who doesn’t get out much!
Be positive
One of the biggest mistakes made in online dating is to be too negative. As soon as you start to talk to a new person about failures, regrets or bad experiences in past you run the risk of sounding like you’re whinging. Instead, stick to positive subjects and look to the future if you’re struggling for positives in your past.
