Dating in New York City

One would think that meeting new people and making a great first impression would come naturally but to many people it's just not quite so simple. Yes, dating in New York City can be a wonderful experience but like anything else, it is what you make of it.

We know you're bound to receive a great deal of sage advice from friends and family along the way, but let Premier Match's dating services (in New York, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.) get you started on the right track with a few helpful tips to guide you through the first date:

Don't be late - or too early! Tardiness is rude, but don't show up too early either. The wait could make you anxious as your date begins.
Dress appropriately. If you're meeting for drinks, dress nicely but don't overdress.
Be yourself. Does it even need to be said? It may seem cliche, but you stand the best shot of finding your match by showing your true self to your date.
Remember to listen. Yes, be yourself, but leave room for your date to also open up.
Respond. Make it a point to respond to a few of your date's comments. They'll be flattered that you were listening.
Go easy on alcohol. One or two may relax you, but ten is a recipe for first-date disaster.

Of course, you stand the best chance of a successful first impression and great first date when you're matched with someone who holds the same values, interests and background experiences as you. Let Premier Match put you in touch with compatible people.
