James Preece is the Single Solution.com Dating Expert

Here are some speedy answers to your latest dating questions:

1) I’ve got a first date tomorrow, what should I wear?

This all depends on what you are planning to do!    The general rule is too dress to impress but wear something you are comfortable in.  You want to make a good first impression as people do judge very quickly.    If it’s just for drinks then men look good in jeans and a shirt, with a jacket.  Women should try to wear skirts rather than jeans as that will make you look more feminine .  Try and look like you’ve made an effort for the other person.

2) I got someone’s number last night.  What should I do next?

When you get someone’s info, make sure that you they input your number on their phone too.   When you agree to swap numbers , tell them you’ll ring their phone so they have your number too.

So store their number, then call them and watch while they enter your name.   That way, when you text them, you don’t have to explain who you are!  Assume they remember you.

If you got on well, text the following morning – don’t wait – then arrange to call them later that day to sort out a proper date.

3) I go on dates but they only ever see me as a friend. Help!

This is because you did things that a friend would do during the date.  This could be listening to their problems, telling too boring  jokes or simply not flirting.   Make it very clear from the outset that you are going on a date not just “meeting for drinks.”     When you are on the date, flirt and touch them often and try to make it obvious you find them sexy.

Read this blog to read about our very special Christmas event

Christmas is synonomous with Ghost Stories – just think of a Christmas Carol for example.

In previous years we’ve ran very popular Ghost Walks and Jack the Ripper Walks, but this year we wanted to go one better.

We’ve secured some great tickets to see the West End’s scariest and most unique show – the imaginatively titled  “Ghost Stories.”

BIG discount for all Premium Members – cost price for Basic Members

What’s the Show about?

Having broken all box office records and following sell-out seasons at the Lyric Hammersmith and Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse, Ghost Stories is a truly terrifying 80 minutes of theatre not to be missed.

The totally unique West End show comes from the truly talented and dark minds of The League of Gentlemen’s master of the macabre, Jeremy Dyson, and Andy Nyman, co-creator and director of Derren Brown’s television and stage shows and star of Dead Set and Severance.

A heart-pounding theatrical experience, Ghost Stories has left even the most hardened of viewers gasping for breath and reaching for their coats to hide behind. Truly not for the faint hearted or those of a nervous disposition,

Ghost Stories mixes the very best of theatre with the buzz of a thrill-ride, delivering something unforgettable. Just keep telling yourself it’s only a show!

Good luck!

On Saturday night we celebrated our 6th successful Halloween party in a row.

By all accounts this was our best Halloween party yet.  We pulled out all the stops and had amazing burlesque dancers, magician, Tarot Reader, DJ and lots of spooky decorations.  We also tried out a new Halloween “Trick or Treat” icebreaking game which went down well.

A big thank you to the 200 plus people who attended and made it such a great night. We had lots of lovely comments on the night and some by email. Here are some of the best ones.

“Over all James well done and keep up the good work”

“Thank you for hosting a very nice evening on Saturday. I did like  the Burlesque show. I found it a very good talking point for the evening which was a great help.”

“I thought the event was well organised”

“Thanks very much. I enjoyed the event last Saturday and I think it was quite a successful night.”
