An occasional page of tips withdrawn from our vast bank of experience!

This time the subject is Dating Tips:

Try to look your best and be punctual on dates. You know you are going to feel good if you look good, and turning up red-faced and out of breath because you've been running to get to your date on time is not a good look!
Have fun when dating. We know the subject of Mr or Miss Right is serious but dating is fun too, so keep it that way.
Do flatter and compliment your date on the way they look and the things they wear. People tend to go to a lot of effort on a date (hopefully) so being told that you are looking good is a nice thing to hear.
Be interested and interesting. As the Pet Shop Boys once said, "I was never bored because I was never being boring" or something similar. You get my drift.
Date the type of people you like and are attracted to, whatever your friends may say. Approval by your peers doesn't prove a thing.
Stay positive even when dates don't end well. It is most certainly true that you will date a few frogs before you find a prince/princess. Along the way you will meet some nice people too and make some good contacts possibly.
Dating is a creative diversion, it requires concentration and energy so when you are dating keep some plans in the forefront of your mind and allow dating to take you to places you always wanted to visit within your own city.
Make dating happen for yourself. People will not come and ring your bell from nowhere. Dating requires positive action so go out there and meet people, as many people as you can. Practice your chat and flirting on shop workers, bar staff, etc, anywhere and everywhere. Being nice to people is very sexy and great fun.
Surround yourself with positive like minded people who are also dating. Think about the girls from Sex and the City and how they assist each other in dating and matters of romance. Negative friends who don't condone the dating scene or don't understand it will only help lower your own expectations and make you feel negative.
