Will he/she like me?

When going on a first date make sure you are yourself and not some invented persona whom you think the other person is going to like.

Try and speak to the person as much as possible over the telephone prior to meeting them so you can get a feel for the sort of individual they are. Do your research and this should pay dividends as the person will think that you like them enough to get to know them and vice versa.

Remember both of you are there for a reason and that is that you want to get to know each other better and perhaps formulate a relationship if you like each other enough.
