What dating tips/advice do you have?

When much younger I dated much and many, but have not dated for many years now, and I hear and see it has defo changed. They don't seem to be doing it the quality old fashioned way. I've never joined any type of dating site, etc.. seems a bit scary to me. The modern world has made everything so freaking complicated. I prefer flesh and blood.

I'd probably hide somewhere and observe for a bit before approaching. 🫣
Meet in a very public place. Keep it simple, be natural. Keep your instincts sharp. And best wishes.

Understandable... It can be scary but realise he's potbelly just as scared ;)

I think a better approach is to get involved with life doing the things you enjoy... Nothing more attractive than a happy person🤗

Just relax and have fun. Times change. Karma doesn’t always throw the ideal man in front of you. The app allows you to cull through the crowd a bit and, at least, have a reasonable introduction.

I met my current wife on Match in late 17’ and was married in July 23’. I think using a paid site helps weed out those that aren’t serious, at least that was my logic. It seemed to work.

Take your fully charged phone with you.
Tell friends where you are going,what time you are meeting up and who with.
Meet in public.
Then just have fun with it.Don't overthink or place pressure on yourself.Be ready to walk if you feel that your date is not working out.

I have SO much to tell you that I don't know where to begin. I've been on a perpetual dating scene since I was a teenager because I enjoy it. Anyone I've ever met, I've never broken up with. That's part of the secret to a happy life is to not actually break up, but instead just move on and always leave the door open to all past relationships.

That doesn't mean you'll get back together with those past guys, but it does mean that you can willingly be in the same room with them should your paths ever cross again in the future.

The problem with app dating is that the whole concept replicates 'blind dating'. The difference between crossing paths with some cute guy in a supermarket and meeting that same guy on a blind date (which was set up by someone else on your behalf), is the spontaneity aspect.

On a blind date (or app date), nothing is spontaneous. Everything is pre-organized and in ALL cases, you are playing a game of Russian Roulette with yourself. You know absolutely nothing about the guy until you're face to face in what can be an uncomfortable situation (like a restaurant).

If you saw the same guy in a supermarket for example, you'd always have the option of just walking away if the energy wasn't right or something felt 'off' to you. In an app date or blind date situation, it's somewhat difficult to walk out of a restaurant or to simply NOT go to that restaurant as planned once you're face to face with him.

I quite frankly do not recommend blind dating nor do I recommend app dating unless you know in advance what the guy looks like and have spoken to him for at least 5 minutes through direct voice interaction (not text messaging).

Just unapologetically be you and if he's buying don't forget to order dessert.

I’ve never dated but be yourself, think positive and enjoy yourself

Just be yourself and just have fun. Do t do anything you’re not comfortable with. If they get upset because you’re not comfortable, then you don’t need to see them again.

What worked for me was finding her early and never letting her go. I have no idea other than that.

I am not too experienced on it, but I guess; just be yourself and wear deodorant : )

Brave new world. It sounds trite but my advice is to just relax. Don’t have any expectations.

It can be fun. Get your girlfriend to call you 30 mins into the date in case you need to tell him you have to leave for a family emergency. (wink wink )

Please be careful

When’s the date?

ALWAYS Meet in public places

Constantly ask yourself if he's better than your vibrator.
