Julie’s top five dating tips

1. Know your own strengths, the qualities and characteristics that make YOU a great catch.

2. Understand your weaknesses in order to have a realistic idea of who you might have a shot at. It’s competitive out there.

3. Be more open to meeting and seeing those people who are interested in you.

4. Don’t be afraid to make the first move and initiate invitations.

5. Be willing to date off-type, if dating your type hasn’t been working out all that well.
