Dating in London? Tough Things You Should Know

This advice doesn’t just apply to people dating in London but to online daters everywhere. You need to get streetwise or you may get hurt (emotionally I mean)

1. He/she will probably not look like their photo, this is a fact of life, everyone tries to use the best pic they can of themselves. They may just look better if you’re lucky!

2. You have 10 people who have listed you as favourite, fact is that the one you hoped may call you is the one who doesn’t! Get over it and reply to the next best.

3. A lot of people fall in love with the emails sent to them and think that is the real person. Try NOT to fall in love until you meet the person who has sent all those lovely emails. You could fall instantly out of love!

4. If you think that after a lovely first date the other guy/girl is going to take their details down from the dating in London site, think again. They have paid for 3 months and will probably keep looking just in case someone better comes along. This again is the reality of online dating. Work hard at being the one he/she doesn’t want to lose.

5. Prepare yourself! You will meet some nutters, freaks and weirdoes!! It happens, just make sure you meet in a safe place and have an escape plan( a friend who will ring you after an hour where you can pretend she is your mother telling you that Aunt Edna is dying and to get home quick!) if the date is going well you can just act naturally and say you are having a lovely time.

6. You will click on people who don’t click back, who don’t answer your emails, move on and be glad it didn’t go further.

OK, this all seems a bit depressing but it’s just a reality check, none of it may happen to you but just be prepared. Do this and you will probably have a lovely time dating in London or anywhere else
