As if dating wasn't hard enough, we now have science backing up the do's and don't's...

Having scientific evidence automatically strengthens a theory, argument, etc. but can it strengthen the dating pool?  Scientists say it's possible if you follow these tips:

  • don't lie about appearance prior to the meeting (studies show 81% of single people lie about their age/height/appearance which leads to an awkward first encounter)
  • wear an outfit you are comfortable in and that makes you feel good about yourself
  • don't talk about your ex (but 80% of people say money, politics, religion are fine topics!)
  • don't be on your phone (75% of daters think it's extremely rude)
  • keep the first date around 2-2.5 hours

Maney, Roy, and LauRen have some mixed opinions on these do's and don't's, listen in and see who you agree with!
