Psychologist Donna Dawson, said:
“It’s the little things you can do that will mean a lot and will put you ahead in the dating game, for example, good hygiene and fresh breath reveal self-respect and consideration for others. Wearing clothes that make you feel both smart and comfortable will help you to relax, which in turn provides the confidence to create a great first impression. Similarly, eye contact conveys sincerity and trustworthiness, and shows you are interested in the other person. Human beings are programmed to return a smile so smiling, even when you are nervous, will get you and your first date off to a good start.”
