Midsummer's Eve advice

When it comes to meeting…

Here are our tips on what to do when it comes to that all important first meeting ...

• Exchange a good few messages before meeting. You may feel you've 'clicked' immediately with someone - but the more you know about a date, the better.
  
  Remember that we can only ever have jurisdiction over our web site, so if you find that your date turns into a complete disaster, there's not much we can do to help. It is far better to have a good insight into the person you are meeting before you meet.
  
  
• Arrange to meet in a public place. Do not invite your first date round to your place. Lunchtime dates are great fun, and if you're at work they give a perfect "get-out" excuse if things aren't going too well.
  
  
• Do not accept a lift - make your own way there and back.
  
  
• Do discuss the dress code before the date: there's nothing more embarrassing than dressing down when they've dressed up.
  
  
• Do let someone close to you know where you're going and with whom you are meeting.
  
  
• Trust yourself. If you're having doubts, call the date off and think about it at leisure.

Hope you have a fantastic time getting to know all the great people out there…or a few of those great people at least! Have fun, take care and thanks for coming on board.

All the best from Gordon, Sharon and Sam at Midsummer's Eve.
