Challenges of re-entering the dating scene? E: The rules had changed. It’s a part-time job and too much work to meet someone online. I wanted to meet someone face-to-face right off the bat. My time is valuable and I didn’t want to waste it getting to know someone in the virtual world only to realize “this isn’t going to work out”. D: I was out of the singles scene for a couple years.

pressure on yourself. The only question you should be asking yourself on a first date is: “Do I want to see this person again?” instead of the stressinducing “Could I see myself married to him/her?” CHEMISTRY Determining if there is chemistry on a first date is extremely important according to the singles we talked to. That’s why we set singles up on face-to-face dates. You can only feel chemistry when you are physically with someone. It’s Just Lunch Matchmakers:
