My occasional gardener and odd-job man Watkins (born 1927) has always been a man of some industry and enterprise.
He has recently started his own online dating website for the over 6os … the very aptly named carbon-dating.com
Ever vigilant as to the perils and pitfalls of online dating Watkins has compiled the following brief pictorial guide to help you with that vital step towards finding cyber-romance … the all important first date.
Please note this item first appeared on this blog in 2012.
Always be honest when submitting a picture for your online profile.
Always agree to meet in a public place on your first date.
Always remember that you will both be a little nervous on your first date … so make allowances.
A gift of flowers is always a nice touch …
Never give out personal details on a first date … they may come looking for you.
Don’t be too disappointed if they don’t measure up to your expectations …
Inter-species dating should be avoided at all costs as it will only lead to disappointment and heartache.
And finally … if you really hit it off on your first date … then a fond peck on the cheek is appropriate.
