Singles in London - 10 top tips for WineDating
 
WineDater Dating tips1. make sure you know how to get to the venue
If you are attending an event for the first time, then it’s natural to be a little nervous. You don’t want to make it worse by getting lost on the way to the venue. All the venue details including a map can be found on the WineDater website, so make sure you know how to get there and how long it will take.   
 
WineDater Dating tips2. dutch courage!
Sometimes daters will meet their friends before an event and have a drink or two. Please try not to drink too much before the event as you will be tasting wine throughout the evening. You'll want to be able to remember what your dates look like without your beer goggles!
 
 
WineDater Dating tips3. going it alone
Please don’t worry about attending an event on your own. Many people do. There will be someone to greet you as soon as you turn up to put you at ease and introduce to everyone else. Once you get there and start dating you will wonder why you worried in the first place!
 
 
WineDater Dating tips4. dress code
Dress in whatever makes you feel comfortable in but remember that you might want to make a good impression. Guys, creased t-shirts are not very flattering! Many people come straight from work, so you won’t look overdressed if you are wearing a suit. Please also check the venue’s dress code.
 
 
WineDater Dating tips5. relax and enjoy
When dating, try and be yourself and stay relaxed! Some daters think it is a good idea to come up with unusual questions to make them stand out from the rest. You will definitely stand out, but probably for all the wrong reasons! 
 
 
WineDater Dating tips6. small talk?
It is absolutely fine to make small talk. In the first couple of minutes of meeting someone for the first time most people are interested in finding out your name, what you do and where you come from. Don’t be afraid to ask these questions if you want -  the answers and conversations that follow will different for each person.
 
 
WineDater Dating tips7. wine talk
It is very rare that daters are lost for words, but if you find yourself in that situation then why not focus on the wine and discuss whether you like it or not and what you think it is. Your host will teach you a few tasting techniques at the start of the evening so you can practice these until you move onto your next date.
 
It is very common that people get on so well that they forget to talk about the wine at all - and before they know it their date is over. Remember to try and have a taste of the wine rather than just drinking it as you chat.
 
 
WineDater Dating tips8. scoring your dates
After the event you will be able to log onto the WineDater website and tick all the people you liked. Although it is tempting to rush home and score your dates immediately, it is often a good idea to leave your decision making until the next day. You might change your mind after a good nights sleep.
 
 
WineDater Dating tips9. online flirting
If someone has 'ticked' you then you will have access to their WineDater profile and you'll be able to access the profile of anyone who has 'chosen,' you through the WineDater website. If someone has ticked you then you will have access to their profile and you will be able to send them messages through the WineDater site. This is where the real flirting begins.
 
 
WineDater Dating tips10. dating safely
Hopefully you'll meet someone who you'd like to see again.  This will be really exciting and fun but please be safe and consider the following:
 
  • don't give your phone number or address to someone if you're not comfortable doing so
  • meet in a public place and let a friend know where you are going.
  • suggest meeting up as part of a group
  • make sure you have an exit strategy in case it really isn’t going well. Don’t feel that you have to stay out all night if you do not feel comfortable
  • it probably isn’t wise to go home together on the first date
  • do not feel pressured into doing anything you don't want to
