According to relationship expert and life coach, Marie Dubuque, says your first date should be for an hour, just enough time to get lunch, ice-cream or some other light food.

Spending too much time with someone you barely know could be really awkward on a first date.

If you are seeing again for a second date, then a visit to the cinema or dinner at a fine restaurant would be appropriate.

Never agree to go out on a trip with a stranger for a first date. Apart from being awkward, it could be totally dangerous for you.
