Advice for first dates:

Dating coach Shannon Davidoff gives brief tips for your first date with someone you’ve met online or through an agency.

What to expect Relax. Don’t set your expectations too high. Treat your first date as if you’re making a new friend. If you have good chemistry, you can move forward; if not, there’s nothing wrong with staying friends… or never seeing them again! You have nothing to lose.

What to wear If you don’t feel comfy, you won’t be able to relax and just enjoy your date. Find a balance between casual and done-up – your fave jeans with a great top and sparkly accessories looks laid-back, but like you’ve made an effort. Be groomed and smell nice!

Body language Be positive and upbeat. You want to appear open, so don’t cross your arms or clench your hands when sitting opposite your date. Communication means LISTENING as well as talking, give each other space to talk!

Stay safe Be careful about sharing your personal info (phone number, e-mail and physical addresses). Always meet in a public place, and make sure a friend or family member knows your plans, including who you’re meeting, where you’re going, and when you’ll return.
