There’s an old saying “Don’t believe everything you hear”, and nowhere does this apply more than in the dating world.  Here are some dating TRUTHS you can rely on:

• Truth #1: Dating, and in particular POSITIVE DATING, is the BEST way to find a compatible relationship partner.
• Lie #1: Dating is a pure numbers game; the more dates you go on the better your chances of finding someone special (in fact, quality of dates is as or more important than quantity of dates).
• Truth #2: Physical chemistry is not just about someones look; it also includes personality, sense of humour, attitude, and other factors.
• Lie #2: Physical chemistry can never grow stronger over time, only weaker (in fact, chemistry can grow once you get to know someone and find areas of compatibility).
• Truth #3: A first date is NOT the best time to decide on whether someone is a great match for you; a second or third date with someone, when both of you are more relaxed and open, is a better time to determine if you have true compatibility.
• Lie #3: If you don’t feel an immediate and powerful ‘spark’ within the first few minutes of a first date, you should rule that person out as a potential match for you.

Executive Search Dating, the Vancouver-based Matchmaker for busy professionals, wants to help Vancouver singles meet their special someone this summer.

“Summer is actually a great time to meet someone new in Vancouver”, says Paddi Rice, President and Founder of Executive Search Dating. “With the nice weather finally here there are lots of ‘summer-centric’ romantic activities to do in the city.  Add the fact that people are generally more positive and approachable in the summer, and you have a virtual ‘perfect dating storm’ for Vancouver singles!”

Here are Executive Search Dating’s “Top 5 Ways To Find Vancouver Summer Lovin”:

1.      More patio, less pressure: an afternoon drinks date on a summer patio is a Vancouver dating classic! Move your date outdoors and you’ll find a more casual setting… the perfect vibe for a first or second date.

2.      Ignite your dating life: the summer barbeque season is a sure-fire winner for connecting with new people.  Whether you are hosting or just attending, there will never be a more relaxed and friendly place to meet someone new in Vancouver.

3.      Music and warm summer nights: summer is THE outdoor music season, with plenty of outdoor festivals and concerts to choose from. A perfect place to meet like-minded music lovers, or to take someone special on a second or third date.  It’s like taking your date and a favourite artist for a romantic evening walk in the park.

4.      The summer ‘picnic date’: be creative this summer; pack a picnic basket, blanket and your date and hit Jericho or Sunset beach for a world renowned Vancouver sunset.

5.      The world is your ocean: who says dates have to be land-based?  Hire some Kayaks and spend a summer afternoon touring English Bay… cap it off with an ‘after-paddle’ drink on Granville Island.
