People should put a bit of effort into their clothing when it comes to a first date.<\/p>\n

This is according to personal dating coach Peter Dalton, who added however, they should not go over the top.<\/p>\n

Individuals who are meeting after an online courtship will want to make a good impression, so it is beneficial if the "person thinks you've gone to a bit of trouble".<\/p>\n

In terms of when is best to meet up, Mr Dalton – who is a member of the advisory board at the Academy of Sex and Relationships – remarked after work is a surprisingly good time.<\/p>\n

"Take a spare pair of shoes and maybe a jacket and you have transformed yourself reasonably cheaply," he stated.<\/p>\n

For those who are looking to find someone special with similar interests as themselves, one option is to join clubs that offer a range of activities they would like to do.<\/p>\n
