You are meeting a new person and making conversation with a single you don’t know, which can be daunting. Try to be creative about the things you discuss, rather than having the same conversation twenty times over, as this will keep online dating first dates interesting.


Posture is important so remember to always sit and stand up straight as good posture boosts your mental state, and also makes you appear more in control, self confident and attractive to others. Remind yourself of your best characteristics and be positive about yourself. What achievements are you most proud of? Have you travelled and experienced some of the world, well dropping those achievements in conversation, if appropriate, is not bragging it is making you interesting and approachable and therefore datable. The more you talk about those experiences, the more confidence you’ll find in yourself.
