FastLife's Top 10 Dating Tips!
FastLife has been organising speed dating and singles events across the globe for over 8 years... in other words, we've seen a lot of first dates - some good, some not so good, but some utterly fabulous! So here are our 10 top tips for a successful first date. Read and learn, and then put our advice to the test at one of our upcoming events!
1.
Throw out your check list! Keep an open mind about who your perfect match will be, it's about chemistry, not ticking boxes.
2.
Keep it light. There's no need to discuss your nightmare ex from hell on your first date. Save politics and religion for later too.
3.
Look the part. Whether you're dating one person, or ten in one night, dress to impress. If you look good, you'll feel good and exude the confidence that people find attractive.
4.
Be interesting by being interested. Resist the urge to talk about yourself and try to listen, everyone has a unique story to tell.
5.
Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone. Be upbeat, stay positive and see the glass as half full. Be fun to be around.
6.
Date local. Ditch that long distance online relationship and look for opportunities in your local area to meet people in person.
7.
Practice makes perfect. Use every opportunity to hone your flirting and social skills. The more people you date, the better dater you become.
8.
Look approachable. A downturned mouth and shifty gaze will get you nowhere, nor will staring people into submission. Smile and maintain eye contact appropriately.
9.
First mover advantage. Don't let life pass you by, Mr or Mrs right won't randomly knock on your door while you're watching TV - get out there and be pro-active. If you see someone you like the look of, make a move.
10.
Dating is a numbers game. Realistically you need to have one on one time with between 30 and 100 people to have a good chance of meeting someone that's right for you. Like the lottery, you've got to be in it to win it!
