Datingexpert Louanne Ward feels you should not be 'too honest' on a first date. Peopledo not need to know if you snore, talk to your mother, or know your body count. 'We have all been taught that honesty is the best policy, but there is adifference between being honest and oversharing, and every date is a screeningexercise for both parties. Every question you answer and every bit of information you give is data collected by your date to find your date-abilityscore.'

Louanneexplained, 'The only way you are going to get a second date is to have a highdate-ability score and you will not get that by sharing uselessinformation.'

Wardoffered some advice on what to say and what not to say on a first date:

·       Do not share how manydates you have been on.

·       Keep your mouth closedand let the other person do the talking so you can gather the information. 

·       Reveal privateinformation on a need-to-know basis.

·       Not every date needs toknow the ins and outs of your life.
