I've been doing it all wrong. How to finally date properly in 2018.

I've always thought that if i want a boyfriend (Husband), i just go out and get one. Simples. 

I'm self made, educated and beautiful.

I literally go out or go online and chat to a guy, go on a few dates and we automatically become exclusive....Right??? Absolutely wrong!

The problem is a boyfriend is not something you "go out and get."

"A relationship is something that springs to life between two people who dare to acknowledge and expose who they really are."

First i had to reduce my expectations of the guy i want to date. 

And really clear my head!

The point of the first date is to find out if we have chemistry. 

Not whether we are going to spend the next 40years together. 

"How do you know your dream guy isn't just an ordinary guy?"

Constantly remind yourself that you are simply getting to know him. Not checking out whether he has marriage potential.

It's 2018...keep it low key!

Have a daytime walk and coffee instead of late-night dinner and drinks at a fancy restaurant in central London.

Sitting opposite a stranger in an interview-type scenario can be intense, so its a good idea to save dinner dates for later down the line.

Pay attention to everything he says. Put your phone down and just listen and ask a ton of fun and interesting conversations.

Show him plenty of interest and rather than dominate the date with lots of facts about yourself, listen and ask more than you talk.

Success in Dating and lasting long term relationships comes from trust and respect. Each date will be different from the previous one. 

It's private and personal. Try not to overshare with friends and family 

or the blog afterwards. 

Stop Comparing dates and treat each one as unique.
