RULES from The Expert

Here's an issue, men in Christie's age range like the telephone.   It's one of my rules not to have phone conversations before the actual date.   The problem here is that you might think you really like the person's voice, have great banter back and forth, but then finally meet and it's a bust!  The thing with match is, people also use old photos.   At the end of the day, personality is important but you want to meet someone you are attacted to physically.  The best situation going into this is to have a few e-mail exchanges and set up your cocktail or coffee date immediately.  Lingering is not ideal with internet dating, you have to cut right to the date!   Advice, save meal dates for the 2nd or 3rd date.  

Note:  The Expert has e-mailed with one of Christie's matches only, date is set up for this week, no phone conversations.   Fingers crossed, the goal here is to have a nice first date and make this online world for her not so creepy or nerve wracking.    The most important thing is also to have Christie meet men not in her work world.   The entertainment field is not a place for finding a relationship of really any kind.   More on that later!
