1: Many people like to dress up in a horror costume, with fake blood make up on their face. If you are in a relationship and want a fun night out, that’s OK. But if you are single, and have horror makeup on your face, the chances are others won’t see your real face and won’t remember you. Even if you bump into each other again you won’t recognise each other. 

2: Go for the classics: the most eye-catching ones are always a group of more than 2 girls dressing up in uniform or as famous historical people, like Sailor Moon, or superheroes. You will find there are plenty of fake abs six packs and superhero outfits. 

3: When to go out: this year Halloween is on a Wednesday; in my experience, when Halloween falls on a school night, most people will dress up and party the weekend before or after. It’s better to just go out on Friday after work, then dress up on the Saturday.  Like every year, there will be lots of people walking around LKF, but their mood is just to see what the most interesting outfits are out there. Most bars are quiet on that evening…. go out anyway. 

4: Preparation: No matter whether you want to dress up or not, it’s always better to do some research about this special occasion. Are there any interesting parties to go to? What are the themes? In case you want to dress up, can you get an outfit that fits you properly?  Most casual cheap outfits won’t fit. The better way is to buy it earlier and take to a tailor. Study, prepare and have fun! 

Make this Halloween unforgettable. Target to meet at least 5-10 new friends….

Join our Halloween Party…

I said, “Challenge yourself to ask her out again.” A week later, he asked “Rachael, now we have had 2 dinner dates, I really like her. Any suggestions?” I said, “Send flowers”.

Then he asked, “What do you think about LEGO Flowers?” I said I would send them if it was to my nephew.

When you pick flowers:
1: The most important thing is to send them to the office during office hours. So that her colleagues can have an envious look at her.

2: Send them on a Monday, so that she can enjoy them for the whole week.

3: Do not use the trick of not putting your name on the card. Because it will be embarrassing if she guesses the wrong person. This is before you confirm the relationship. I remember one male client asked a female client if she can be his girlfriend, the next day when she received flowers, she thought they were from him. But actually, they were from another client who was also chasing her.

4: She might not have a vase at the office. 99.99% of guys will send just flowers. If you send them with a vase, you stand out.

5: There is a powder which can make the flowers last longer, ask the shop.

6: Always go for classy RED ROSES.

7: Never send white flowers, they are for funerals.

8: Agnes b eleven pieces of dark red rose is the best option.

9: Don’t send flowers which are in a box, no one will see them if she carries them on the street or to a restaurant.

10: 99 red roses are romantic. However, if she is the type of girl that like to wear shoes like Jimmy Choo, she might have to throw the flowers away to walk. It happened to my clients before.

11: There is a new design of a red rose with a real diamond on the rose. You can do it on special occasions but not on Valentine’s Day. Because no one will see the diamond. Everyone else will only see she got ONE bloom of the tiny flower while other girls have a big bunch of flowers.

*12: Send different flowers or roses, but in different colours so that if she wants to post on social media, it won’t look like she is re-posting the same flowers. First-time flowers should generally be red roses.

13: If you have no idea what flowers to send, you can ask the shop for a recommendation. What are the most popular flowers? Or pay attention to social media to see what other girls have posted lately.

14: Do not send flowers in boxes, especially on occasions like Valentine’s Day. Imagine a classy lady wearing high heels, in a nice dress and carrying a big box, walking on the street. Not a good look.

1. If you are a Westerner, meeting Asian girls … instead of giving a kiss on the cheek, test the waters out to see what makes the lady comfortable.

2. Shaking hands only happen when you are meeting someone for business – DON”T DO THAT ON A DATE. Most European, France, Spain, Italy, and UK men like to greet friends by kissing on both cheeks. Dutch and Belgium will give a cheek kiss 3 times.

3. If you don’t know how to react, just smile which is the near-universal friendliness. Do not act like you never have been kissed on the cheek before. Act like nothing has happened.

4. Make sure you spray cologne/perfume, and that your face is clean and neat, not oily. About perfume: many people are allergic especially to cheap perfume.

5. In Asia, generally speaking, no physical contact on the first date when greeting each other (best to wait until things are more relaxed – a few drinks definitely helps!).
In conclusion, a hug, a gentle touch of the shoulder, a smile on a first date.

He said “Study and practice!”

This applies to all professional jobs, dating, and relationships. Someone also said: I found the harder I work, the luckier I get.

Therefore let’s keep studying and practicing how to be good at dating, a good gentleman/lady, or a good spouse.

You will find the harder you work at it…the luckier you become, and the closer you will get to what you want.

If you are not sure which type you are or which types suit you, think back to your past relationships and see if you notice any patterns. If you still have no idea, you can try dating different types. You’ll know when you find your right type. Make it a habit to keep a journal or diary. It’s very meditative and it has been proven to have health benefits.

Better yet, make an appointment with us for a free consultation. Let a professional with a background in psychology and a certificate in MBTI guide you and help you figure it all out.

Based on our consultation and the profile information, we introduced a very sincere European gentleman for her to meet on her first date. The chemistry was so amazing that he has already asked her out for dinner on Valentine’s Day. Without knowing, he made a booking at exactly the same place where she is planning to celebrate her upcoming birthday with friends. She was also amazed that when they shared photos of places they had traveled to, they were almost exactly the same. They have so much in common in many aspects of their lives that she found it almost unbelievable.

That’s just one of our more recent successful matching stories. If you haven’t made any plans for Valentine’s Day, please join us and meet some new friends over a delightful dinner paired with fine wine. Who knows? You may be meeting your date for the next Valentine’s Day.

We’re hosting a Pre-Valentine’s Day Party on Saturday, February 3 to celebrate our singledom together. Who knows, you may meet someone that you’d want to spend V-Day with.

Here are some tips for a Valentine’s Day dinner date:

1: Don’t pick an over-priced restaurant for V-day. It’s not good value and there’ll be too much pressure on both of you.

2: If it’s a first date, gentlemen should ask if she has any food preferences and present 2-3 restaurant choices, then most importantly, MAKE THE RESERVATION. Keep communicating with her throughout the process.

3: Manage your expectations. Enjoy the moment, and don’t take things for granted. Remember the other person chose to spend this special day with you.

4: If you’re early in your relationship, a small, thoughtful gift may be appropriate. Show appreciation.

5: Look your best. If you’ve been single for a while and not sure what to wear, ask a friend to go shopping with you. But also keep in mind that the prettiest thing you can wear is a smile.
