Single soldiers who manage to line up a date with a partner they have found online may be feeling nervous about their meeting.<\/p>\n

It might be tempting to go over the top and appear completely at ease with the situation, but being too laid back can also have its downfalls.<\/p>\n

One of the best policies to adopt in this situation could be honesty, as both parties are likely to feel a little apprehensive.<\/p>\n

That is why online dating could be particularly handy, as it allows people to get to know each other a bit before they take the next step and arrange a meeting.<\/p>\n

But comedian Julia Sutherland tells lifestyle programme The Hour there is a difference between being relaxed and cocky, STV reports.<\/p>\n

"Often confidence is the most attractive quality, but don't be arrogant. If you're that perfect your companion will realise it for themselves," she suggests.<\/p>\n

Nina Lorez Collins recently told the Huffington Post it is good practice to use online dating sites, particularly for those who have been in long-term relationships and are unsure how to approach somebody new.<\/p>\n
