Top Tips For Dating

By Georgina Klass


What would life be like without dating? Even if you have no intention of finding a long-term relationship, whether it's online dating, going on a spontaneous date with someone you just met or agreeing to a blind date that your friend sets you up on, at any age it's good to have fun and get out on the dating scene.

Maybe you just want to go on some dates to keep yourself feeling sane after a breakup (we should all live by the saying, "the best revenge is living well", after all). Whatever the reason, it's still important to make a good first impression, create a fun atmosphere and show each other the best sides of each other. Here are some top dating tips to give you some direction:

Feel comfortable in your clothes but look good: this shows that you want to make an effort to impress and will immediately make you feel more confident when their body language shows that they are impressed. There's no need to dress to the nines but go one step further with your dress than you might have done ordinarily;

⦁ Ask lots of questions and maintain eye contact: there's nothing worse than a self-involved person. If you can't talk about anything other than yourself then you will give off the impression that you won't be able to form a healthy relationship by allowing each person in the relationship to open up. Even if you are just nervous. Eye contact is the secret body language weapon as it instantly conveys attraction and the eyes are some of the sexiest parts of the body. A good tip to follow is that when you have said something about yourself, a fact or an opinion that you hold, you can then ask that as a question to someone else. For example, if you're talking about something you like, when you finish, ask "what do you think about x?"

⦁ Don't expect your date to do all the work. Woo each other, it's more fun! Although it shouldn't be too hard work when you're with someone, the more you put yourself into the situation, the more you will get out of it;

⦁ Be confident. You don't need to be brash or try to be the life and soul of the room but having a quiet confidence about you will help the date go along smoothly. Once you've faked it, you should find it easier to be more confident. Try not to worry about making a fool of yourself - this should help;

Perhaps the most important tip is to be yourself if you're looking to find that special someone. If not, then ignore that and just have fun and remember to show the other person a good time!
