Our favorite sexologist Dr. Trina Read never fails to sparks interesting discussion – check out our cameraman Nick and Andy Schultz whispering after Dr. Read’s Dating Segment. I still have no idea what they were saying — “man talk” they wouldn’t share.
Anyway, Dr. Read gave us some great dating tips. I took notes. For the sake of our viewers of course.
Trina’s Top Dating Don’ts
1. Don’t talk about yourself incessantly. Ask questions!
2. Don’t talk about your ex.
3. Don’t have sex until you’re ready.
How about Dating Dos? Dr. Read suggests for new or married couples, pick something where you’re moving and there’s something to talk about. For example:
1. Calgary Zoo. Very casual. No need to dress up. Creates a nice memory for your grandkids if the date works out.
2. Wine Tasting/ Wine Fair. Because so much is going on, there’s a lot to discuss and very little time for awkward pauses in conversation to happen. Don’t get drunk.
3. Dog Walk/ Walk in Princess park. If you’re not sure about whether you will gel with the potential date, a walk can be over in 20 minutes.
