Top 10 Dating Tips for a Successful Date Night

Dating tip #1 - Plan.
Waiting until the last minute may make things spontaneous - or disastrous. Plan your date in advance, set expectations and ensure your date is in agreement. Know how to get there, where to park, when things are open, etc. Look like you know how to make things happen seamlessly.

Dating tip #2 - Appropriateness.
Make sure what you've picked out and/or suggested has some relevance to what this person might actually enjoy. Doing something you both enjoy will go a long way towards relationship building.

Dating tip #3 - Sensitivity.
If your date happens on a weeknight, don't select a movie ending at 11.00 p.m. The more solutions you've prepared for in advance, the less anxious your date will be. This clearly shows your thoughtfulness.

Dating Profile Photo Tips

1. Show off.
Your primary photo should portray the real you in the best photo possible. However, don't overdo it. After all, you want that special someone to recognize you when that first exciting meeting occurs. You can always include a glamour shot as one of your other photos.

2. Go solo.
This is about putting your best foot forward. Your primary photo should feature only you. Leave the kids, pets, favorite car and cabin to reveal other facets of yourself. Never post a photo in which you have cut out someone else. If this is the only photo you have, or something from your first wedding, it's time to update who you are.
