STEFAN PIERRE TOMLIN, aka Mr Tinder, gives us insight into a swipe-right Valentine’s date and tips for dating couples. First dates are hairy experiences at the best of times, but a romantic Valentine’s date can elevate any relationship.
Most people make the mistake of treating their first date as an audition. Consider this for a moment. Treating dating like an audition ensures that someone has control from the start. Your fate is in their hands. Keep first dates light-hearted, and avoid pouring your heart out or discussing prior relationships. After all, your date did not agree to meet with you solely to talk about your cousins or ex.
Tip 1: Crafting the Perfect Profile
A guaranteed Valentine’s Tinder match starts with a smiling photo of you doing something you love – signalling a chilled personality. The secret to a winning bio is to have a mix of humour, sincerity, and a naughty side. It’s about sparking curiosity and laying the foundation for genuine connection.
Tip 2: Planning the Perfect Date
Stefan recommends a video call for the first date to break the ice. It’s a safe, comfortable way to get to know each other. Whether Valentine’s Day or not, the’ perfect’ meet-up is a couple of drinks at a cool cocktail bar, ideally spread over two hours. Having a mixed drink will make you more social and conversational and reveal more who you are. Also, food is a big no-no on your first meet. You shouldn’t invest a lot of money or time. It’s a checking-you-out thing.
Tip 3: Engaging Conversations
When it comes to conversation, while they may not be the most exciting things to talk about on a first date, you have to start somewhere, and the basics are a good place to do so. Once you know more about your date’s background, you can guide the conversation to more exciting places.
Tip 4: The Language of Love
Learn the five love languages describing how people receive and express love in a relationship. These are words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, acts of service, and receiving gifts. Knowing your partner’s love language and letting them know yours can help you both feel loved and appreciated. You will find yourself not only deeper in love but also in a more meaningful and fulfilling relationship.
Tip 5: Adult Valentines Fun
If you’re in a relationship, why not create an exceptional partner experience; a sexy Valentine’s kit is an exciting way to get into the mood for the big day. You can make your kit, at places like Ann Summers. It gives both of you something steamy to look forward to and opens you up to a new world of adventure and exploration, allowing you to be intimate like never before.
The Last Word
Ask the average bod on the street if they understand the importance of Valentine’s Day. Expect a wide range of responses, from a fertility ritual to an ancient Roman tradition.
The unique day is based on a love-related event held on the 14th of the month when Saint Valentine of Rome was martyred.
Everyone agrees: Valentine’s Day allows us to express our love to anyone we want. People write quotes and poems and send their loved ones flowers, chocolates, and jewellery. People spend time together and celebrate in their unique way.
I wish you a Valentine’s Day filled with love, romance, and excitement.
