We can’t always be Wildean and beautifully lyrical in our conversations, but if you find yourself reaching for an expletive, where a more civilised adjective or noun would do better, then expect your dating prospects to go as badly as your language.
Does it sound like you, or someone you know? Tell us your story in the comments, expletive-free, of course!
While online dating & professional matchmaking services continue their upward trend in Ireland, we are still miles behind our UK and US single counterparts. Very often embarrassment is the reason we are given by Irish singles for the reluctance to try dating this way.
We are often asked ‘does online dating work?’ or ‘are dating sites real?’ and, of course, our overwhelming answer is yes, however that does depend on what you are looking for and where you are looking for it. While there are many different types of dating sites, here we explain the three most dominant categories of Casual, Flirt & Matrimonial online dating.
On that first date it’s important that your discretion wins out over any urge you have to ‘talk sexy’. Unless specifically invited to do so, keep the conversation on the right side of respectful and you can both enjoy getting to know each other before the more risqué topics are introduced
Do you put too much pressure on the other person to commit to another date after that first date, or have you been on the receiving end of an over-zealous person on a date? Believe it or not, it’s a dating experience some people have had and it’s never good.
