Call You and Yours: What are the rules of modern dating?

BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Call You and Yours: What are the rules of modern dating?

Consumer phone-in. What are the rules of modern dating?

Today on Call You & Yours, we're asking: "What are the rules of modern dating?"

Online dating is now the way most people meet their partner in the UK - there aren't any taboos around that any more. 
But if you're trying it for the first time, what sort of hurdles will you face?

A new guide by the etiquette experts, Debrett's, aims to help people aged over 50 navigate a way through dating in 2018. 

Common concerns seem to be feeling out of touch with modern dating rules and a lack of confidence to make contact with the person you're interested in. And if you do finally meet, who pays the bill. Many struggle with writing a positive profile about themselves, while some feel shy and nervous on dates and worry about seeming 'desperate.' 

We'll explore the whole topic and hear from experts and listeners alike.

PRESENTER: SHARI VAHL
PRODUCER: SIMON HOBAN.
