Dating in the Real World

Being the UK’s most trendy seaside city, Brighton has so much to offer when it comes to dining out.

Surrounded by beautiful hills, Edinburgh is certainly a picturesque and romantic city with a stunning castle and cobbled streets.

The restaurants we have selected in Manchester will certainly put that special romantic factor into the occasion.

London consists of many romantic restaurants all of which are guaranteed to make your date a date to remember.

If you’ve already decided during your first date that you don’t want to arrange a second, it’s best, to be honest, and not waste any more of their or your time.

No, it’s not polite to interrupt your date by checking your mobile phone. You can check your phone any other time, so concentrate on getting to know your date.

It’s not a good idea to pick your date up on a first date unless you already know them.

If the date has gone well and your date has no pre arranged travel arrangements, then there’s no harm in casually offering.

If the date is romantic and you spend quite a long time with them getting to know them and feel a real connection between the two of you, then a kiss is appropriate.

Holding hands is perfectly acceptable on a first date, although maybe wait until you’re both settled into the date.

Chocolates are a great alternative to flowers on a date, even a first date. It is entirely up to you whether you give chocolates.

If you feel the date went well and you’d like to see them again, then yes you can arrange another date at the end of a date.

Yes, you must tell them. The last thing you want is to be unhappy about going on a date.

It’s entirely up to you, it doesn’t matter who chooses. It might help to have an idea already, just in case your date doesn’t.

In general no, you are on a date to spend time with them, not to chat to others on the phone. If it’s important then they’ll leave a message on your voicemail.

Everyone has his or her own opinion about who pays the bill at a restaurant, there is no right or wrong answer.

It is a personal choice whether you give flowers on a first date. It isn’t expected but it can be a pleasant gesture.

Yes. The last thing you want is to leave your date hanging around for you. It doesn’t make a good impression.
