Top 30 dating tips
Which chat-up lines are winners and how do you flirt wittily when you feel tongue-tied? Will a blind date lead to Mr Tedious or to the man of your dreams? At some point in our lives, we all play the dating game. Should we exaggerate our finest qualities or stick to the truth? Here's what iVillagers say are 'the rules' to live by in the dating world.
1. Make them suspect you're interested, but don't let them know for sure. Men like the chase, so give it to them. -fiona777
2. Don't drink too much on a date. During my friend's last date, she was nervous and had too much to drink. As her date was driving her home in his new car, she realised she was going to be sick. She didn't want to tell him to stop and she certainly didn't want to ruin his car, so she puked into her handbag! Needless to say, they never dated again. -beachbaby99
3. If at any point he reminds you of your father, run away! -JL396
4. You could be married tomorrow if you lowered your standards far enough. Don't. Better to wait for the real thing than to waste your time on something that won't last. -earoberts
5. Don't be too picky. I know women who have shunned men because their head is too big, they smell wrong or even breathe too loudly. Unfortunately, women like this end up ignoring or dumping perfectly good men without even giving them a chance. -icbw
6. If you find a guy who claims he wants to take care of you, get away fast! You'll just end up taking care of him. -jmoylan
7. Don't put up with criticism, especially when it comes to food. Every woman should be free to eat what she wants when she wants. -JL396
