Your First Date

So you've been to a speed dating event and you expressed an interest in somone who has also expressed an interest in meeting you again. Or you have registered with a dating agency who have matched you with someone that you like the look of and you have arranged your first date. What now!

If you met at a speed dating event, you will already have a feel for whether or not there is any chemistry between you.
However, if the only thing you know about the other person is what you have read on their web page or the profile sent to you by the dating agency you might like to find out a bit more before arranging a first date.

It may be a good idea to have a few conversations on the telephone to get an idea of whether or not you share the same sense of humour, same interests and the same goals in life.

Assuming that you have decided that you would like to go on a date with this person, it will probably be best to meet in a public place so that neither of you feels threatened with meeting each other.

What should we do on our first date?

This depends a lot on your interests.

Having said that, try to think of something that will allow you to have a good chat. What's the point in going on a first date with someone and then sitting in a cinema all night. You'll hardly get to know anything about each other watching Hugh Grant in his latest "chick flick" or Mel Gibson in his latest comedy drama!

Try to think of an activity that will allow plenty of conversation to flow so that you can find out about each other.
A drink in a pub, a meal, or ten pin bowling for instance.
