    3. What level of physical contact is appropriate on a first date?
    4. How late is acceptable for someone to arrive on a first date?
    5. Is it appropriate to discuss ex-partners on a first date?
    6. When should you follow up after a first date?
    7. Do people believe in ‘love at first sight’?
