Dating in 2019: Three life-saving tips

We are in 2019 and despite the undeniable impact technology has on our lives – including dating – the tips to find a partner do not necessarily involve the use of your smartphone.

Work on yourself

From a marketing point of view, when you seek a date you are pretty much selling yourself. It’s important to take care of your body – working out, renewing your wardrobe and grooming are necessary steps – and your mind. Without trying to be someone you are not, charm and confidence are the two characteristics you can develop.

Try a dating site

Signing up to a dating site will increase your chances of finding a date, it’s pure arithmetic. It doesn’t have to be an app like Tinder, it could be something like a social activity (try to search speed dating london and you’ll get very useful results).

Hone your approach

It’s key not to see your potential partner as a number: they are not yet another attempt to score a date. It’s fine to be flirty but always respect who you are going out with. If you wish to be in a relationship with them, be honest about your feelings and make it clear.

Once you’ve put yourself out there you’ll be surprised to realise how easy it is to successfully date someone.
