The Independent suggests this can break the ice with the other person and make things feel a bit more natural, particularly if single soldiers admit to feeling slightly anxious about the date.<\/p>\n
"There's no need to go into detail. A quick statement like 'I was a bit nervous on the way to meet you' will do," the publication suggests.<\/p>\n
Once this is out of the way it can make the whole date flow a lot better and both parties should relax so they can enjoy it.<\/p>\n
Ensuring plenty of time is spent listening as well as talking is also a good move, as the news source warns some people can come across as self obsessed if they constantly chatter without pausing to ask questions.<\/p>\n
In order to secure the chance of a date, army penpals might consider updating their online profiles, as the Huffington Post recently suggested these should be seen as a CV.<\/p>\n
