Take a look at these top tips for getting a summer date and let us know what you think!

Be Active

If you’re looking for a date then make sure people know about it! Tell friends you’re single and looking, and get your best mates to set you up with some lovely guys.

Visit plenty of parks, bars and festivals and keep your eyes open for any men that take your fancy.

Online Dating

New research has shown that we’re much more active on our online dating profiles in the summer so if you haven’t set one up then now is the time.

If you’ve got a profile already then make sure you spruce it up to fit the summer months, get a picture of you looking gorgeous tanned and update your interests to fit the season.

Take Up Activities

Make the most of the great outdoors and take up an outdoor activity. Anything from surfing to running will get you out there meeting new people.

You never know, your instructor may just be the love of your life! If not, you’re working on your figure and keeping fit – an attractive quality!

Be Forward

Summer doesn’t last for very long so that means that when the sun disappears our optimism takes a nose dive.

If you see a guy you like then go over and get talking to him, if you’re feeling good vibes then ask him out on a date. He’ll like your confidence and the fact that you cut straight to the chase.

Make the Most of the Sun!

When you finally get a date don’t waste it by sitting in a cinema or a restaurant, do something summery.

Have a picnic or go to the funfair, even a one day festival will be a great first date so make the most of the sunshine and try something new!
