“Some people respond to a ‘bad date’ with laughter and light-heartedness (I used to turn mine into haiku that I performed at comedy gigs!), others become very despondent or anxious and want to give up dating altogether,” the expert shared. “It depends on how you feel about yourself, whether you are resilient to the ups and downs of dating, and your beliefs about other people (which stems from your experiences as a child).”

“If you ignored red flags, why? Was their strange behaviour a product of their culture, background, politics, upbringing, gender, mental health, or something else? What were the emotional needs of the other person? What can you learn about how dating etiquette and social norms vary?” the expert continued.

It’s also wise to plan to keep the first date short. “Don’t have a meal – just a coffee or a drink. Practice saying ‘I don’t feel comfortable with this conversation’ and ‘This date doesn’t work for me.’ Be happy you found out their fatal flaws early on!” Rachel added.
