LOVE

SINGLE? SETTLED? WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED

The (other) three-date rule

No, not that one. Married At First Sight matchmaker Genevieve Zawada-Gresset believes that if you’re looking for long-term love, you should have at least three dates with each match – even if you’re not sure you fancy them – because sexual attraction can develop over time. “I’ve had clients who’ve wanted to wash their hands of someone after the first date,” she says, “but by the third, they’re ready to propose.” So if after date one you don’t feel that “spark”, maybe don’t sack it off – it could turn into something amazing. That said, if the date is truly awful or you ever feel uncomfortable, ditch them – life’s too short.
