First impressions matter, warns expert

Whether single soldiers are meeting people online or in a face-to-face environment, it is important to remember that first impressions matter, according to one expert.

Dr Terri Orburch, also known as the Love Doctor, says: "No matter what the setting, it’s important to remember that first impressions do matter because they set relationships into motion."

"The way to ensure a first impression is a good one is to prepare properly."

She suggests it is wise to have a few conversation starters on hand, whether single soldiers are dating in an internet setting or meeting in person.

Additionally, Dr Orburch advises playing it safe conversation-wise for the first few dates and adds that people should always make sure they dress to impress when initially meeting a potential partner.

Kurt Avish, writing for Island Crisis, recently suggested that single soldiers will know when they have met their soul mate, as they will complement their personality in every way.
