    Hide some reveal some: Dating is a volatile game. There are no set rules. Always remember it’s safe to reveal some about you and hide some for the other person to discover later.

    Don’t let your attention wander: Restrict usage of your mobile to minimum, checking texts, answering calls. Posing yourself to be busy will give an impression of being uninterested.
