Do

Flirt online - now second favourite flirting ground after bars & clubs.

Wax lyrical about Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings - the top two films with both men and women.

Read FHM & Heat - most popular mags for men & women.

Don’t

Go on a first date thinking you’ll get your leg over! Only 3% of men and 6% of women expect to go all the way on a first date - 30% would hope for a sedate kiss and savour the promise of future action!

Flaunt your tattoos & piercings - twice as many people - men & women -find them a turn off rather than a turn on.

Talk about politics or poodles.

Trot out your Benny Hill one-liners - 45% describe their sense of humour as sarcastic, 30% as light and 15% as End of the Pier.

Adopt the ‘medallion man’ look - three times as many women find hairy chests a turn off as a turn on.

Expect the other person to pay. Offer to go 50/50, even if you hope your date might pick up the tab!
