Get The Most Out Of Your First Phone Call Together

Dark haired woman smiling at the camera whilst talking on phone

You’ve listened to each other’s voicemail messages on Chat2Date but you now want to have a proper chat.
Talking on the phone for the first time can be daunting and the first impression you make is very important.
Here are our top tips to help you through that first phone call and ensure you secure that first date!

Be cheerful and chatty. Remember the other person can’t see your face and they only have the tone of your voice to go by so make sure you sound interested.

Don’t give short answers. Make sure you always elaborate on any answers you give and if you can, turn your answer into a question for them! Keep the conversation flowing and use open ended questions so they have a chance to give better answers.

Remember that this isn’t an interview. There are no right and wrong answers to their questions – just be yourself and be relaxed. Don’t interrogate them either – you don’t need to find out everything about them in this one conversation – leave some things for your first date!

Give the person your full attention. Don’t make it sound like you’re doing something else like watching TV or on your computer. Be interested in what they have to say and respond appropriately.

If the conversation is gradually slowing, let it naturally come to an end. Don’t force it or ask questions for the sake of it.

Lastly and most importantly – always be yourself!

So now you’re ready, what are you waiting for?! Get chatting to singles near you today with Chat2Date!

Woman smiling leaning against wall talking on mobile phone

Apprehensive about avoiding those awkward silences when chatting to someone for the first time?

Worry no more! Here are our top ten topics to help start a conversation to hopefully find some shared interests and maybe even get a date!

Travel
Find out if they like travelling and where they have been – you might have been to the same places or they might have been somewhere you want to visit or vice versa!

Pets
If you both have pets this is always a good topic of conversation and you’ll never run out of things to say!

Talking about family can be good for many reasons as you can get to know a person better when they’re talking about the people they love and are close to.

Food
Everyone loves food! Talk about your favourite restaurants or what you like cooking.

Sports
You don’t have to play sports to talk about them but you do have to watch them! If there is a sport that you both enjoy playing or watching then this is a great topic to chat about.

Work
We spend most of our time at work so there’s sure to be a lot to discuss, whether it be what you do for work, your colleagues or what you do on your lunch break!

Hobbies
Hobbies are things that you love to do so are sure to show off your best side and your personality and will give you an insight into your date’s social life.

Music
Whether you like the same music and can share stories of gigs/concerts you’ve been to or whether your tastes are totally different this is a subject that could be talked about for hours!

Movies
Everyone loves a good movie! Whether you agree on which movies you love and which you don’t, there are plenty of genres to cover!

Bucket List
This is what you want to achieve in your life. Be it swimming with dolphins or going into space! This will give you a chance to get to know your date based on things they like and how adventurous they are!

Only talk about things you and your date feel comfortable with – if you sense they aren’t engaging then switch to talking about something totally different – there’s no need to feel awkward.

How Much Does It Cost To Call Our 0871 Number?

Hands texting on smartphone

Our pricing has recently changed due to an OFCOM change in regulation which came info effect on 1st Jul 2015.

In light of these changes we have had to increase our service charge from 10 pence per minute to 13 pence per minute.

You can read more about the changes to charges to 08/09/118 numbers here – Ofcom Call Costs Guide

The cost of calling our 0871 number is now made up of two parts –

  • Service charge, which is 13p per minute
  • Access charge – this is the charge your phone company charges you to connect to the 0871 number

So the cost would be 13ppm + the access charge from your phone company.

In some cases, the phone companies have significantly raised their access charges which will affect the cost of your call. In order to try and make it easier for our customers to know exactly what they are paying to call our chatline, we have put all the access charges below.

NetworkMobile Access Charge (per minute)*Landline Access Charge (per minute)*
Vodafone45pN/A
O245pN/A
EE44pN/A
Three25pN/A
giffgaff25pN/A

Virgin Media36p10.25p

 *Prices correct as of 5th October 2015. You should always check with your service provider.

It’s too expensive to use this service now from my mobile. What can I do?

We are very sorry that these changes have had a negative effect on your call charges. There are two options available to you to lower these charges –

  • If you use our service a lot, then the cheapest way to access it is by creating a credit card prepaid account. It’s the cheapest way to call and you will be able to access the service from just 6 pence per minute. You’ll be able to call the service with a 0800 freephone number or 0207 number so no premium rate numbers will feature on your phone bill.
  • We will be launching a mobile voice short code shortly. This is great news for mobile callers as it will mean that you will be able to access the service for just 25 pence per minute – NO HIDDEN EXTRAS. That means no nasty access charges from your phone company! We will have this short code in place within the next 4 weeks.

Please email the team on info@chat2date.co.uk for more information on our services or call charges.

Thank you.

Socialize On Chatlines and Dating

Woman smiling at camera talking on mobile phone

In today’s busy world, many people do not have the time to socialize and go on dates.

As such, it is very difficult for them to start a romantic relationship. However, the advancement of technology has opened up new ways for singles to expand their social networking base and increase their chances of finding a romantic interest. One of the most popular modes of dating that are being used today is chatlines. Chatlines are telephone services that enable singles to find potential companions and have conversations with them before they meet. There are a number of reasons why so many singles choose chatlines over other dating options, and these include:

Saves Time and Money

Chatlines provide a very convenient and efficient way for busy people to socialize to look for romantic partners. Singles can connect with other singles anytime, anywhere, without having to spend time to travel and meet. They can communicate with potential romantic interests from the comfort of their own homes or even while they are at work. Using chatlines is also more affordable than the traditional way of dating. Since singles do not have to meet with one another to converse, they can save on transportation, meals, and other expenses.

Provides More Options

Singles can meet people of all ages and backgrounds on chatlines, and they can even start relationships with people from other states or countries. With more options available, they will have a better chance of finding someone suitable.

Enables Singles to Verify Compatibility Levels

Getting into a romantic relationship requires a great deal of emotional involvement. It is worthwhile if it leads to a happy and long-lasting relationship, but there is no guarantee that it will turn out well. Many people experience emotional pain and entanglement when their romantic relationships fail, and some of them never really recover from the bad experience. Meeting people on chatlines is an effective way to avoid emotional entanglement. Since singles socialize over the phone first before they meet, they can find out the personalities of their potential partners and determine compatibility levels before they decide to start a more serious relationship with them.

Allows Singles to Remain Anonymous whilst they socialize

Another advantage of using chatlines is that singles can remain anonymous. Some singles may become overly self-conscious and feel uneasy when they meet face-to-face with potential love interests, and they may end up saying the wrong things. Being able to remain anonymous on chatlines will give them the confidence they need to communicate in a more natural way and make a better impression. It also allows them to avoid contacts that they do not wish to communicate with.

There are many chat lines that you can use to expand your social networking base, and most of them are very easy to join. All you need to do to become a member is call the access number and create a profile; browse through profiles to find singles who interest you; and start dating. Some chatlines are free, while others require a fee.

Meet New People: Chat and Date On Your Phone

Woman sitting in cafe laughing whilst talking on mobile phone

In the twenty first century it’s never been so easy to meet new people.

Gone are the days of going down the pub and meeting people. Now you can meet people online in chartrooms, virtual cities, dating sites, on your mobile, by text message or simply dial in to chat on your phone.

The beauty about phone chat with real people is that it allows you to tap in the ancient art of actually chatting to someone. Okay, it’s not in person but it’s still real and you can hear their voice and tone. Not a ‘like’, ‘poke’ or ‘send’ button in sight. Meeting new people on the phone is still one of the easiest and cheapest ways to introduce yourself to new singles without leaving your house. Just call into the access number and start chatting with genuine people.

So you call in to the service and pick some people you want to chat with….now what do you talk about? You need to make sure you’re relaxed and comfortable just like in a face to face conversation. You’ve probably picked a profile that you are interested in dating wise so you’ll want to ask all the normal questions to find out more about them. Steer clear of cheesy lines which are a lot harder to pull off on the phone than in person. If you’re stuck then about subjects or reach the dreaded silence on the phone then think about recent news topics…’Have you seen the new summer block buster’…’what do you think England’s chances are in the Euros’…etc… you should be able to gage within the first 15 minutes whether you gel or not. You can’t always be lucky and find someone you get along with so try try again.

The best thing about our phone line is that no matter what time it is there is always hundreds of people on the line to talk to so the odds of meeting someone you get on with are high.

Top Ten Tips For Dating On A Chatline

Brunette woman curled up on sofa smiling and texting

So you think you are good at dating? Be it online, on the phone or in person.

Well, no one is perfect so here are a few dating tips if you like to do your chatting up of the opposite sex on the phone. Chatlines are funny things, you get hundreds of guys and girls chatting on the phone – some are bored, some are lonely, some want something a little more risqué’ and some are actually looking for love and a bit or romance.

So for all those looking for love and a soulmate on a chatline then please follow these simple tips.

  1. If they sound like Freddy Kreuger then more often than not they are probably going to probably resemble him in appearance. Although, I did used to chat once with a girl who sounded like a Bagpuss on valium but when I did eventually get to meet up with her she turned out to be more of a Pussy Galore!! I guess you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover but a voice can tell you a lot so just be careful.
  2. If you do get to the point where you are about to meet up with them then please be sensible about it – don’t arrange to meet them in your local park at 3am in the morning you know what I mean! Tell a friend where you are going and make sure you meet them in a public place at a sensible time of day. I find meeting somewhere where there is a back exit is always handy for those stealth exits if things aren’t going so well.
  3. Don’t give out your personal information on the chatline. Ever! So when someone asks that ‘they would like to get to know you a lot better and could they have your mobile number, account number and sort code’ please don’t give it to them. I guess at some point when you do meet up with them there will be a point when you have to give them some personal information so until then please keep radio silence.
  4. Set up a personal mailbox so people can leave you messages when you are not online. It’s easy to do and you get your own pin and account number so you can access it any time. See easy this isn’t it.
  5. Record a good introduction message about yourself and try to sound normal. If you don’t normally sound normal than at least try to be sincere in your message. Oh and try not sound too desperate – always a turn off.
  6. Too shy to speak to people direct? Then send a message first or even try a text chat service. So many people these days text more than they talk on the phone so why not try a text dating service.
  7. A picture is worth a thousand words. So why not upload a picture of yourself so interested parties can download it and check you out. Again try to look normal and please keep them clean otherwise they won’t get pass the moderation team.
  8. If someone is being down right nasty, obscene or rude on the service then report them to the moderators and bar them from contacting you. Most of the people on the service are there for the same reasons as you – to chat and have some fun but I am afraid you do get the occasional ‘pond life’ that wanders on to the line.
  9. If you call the service a lot then you might want to try setting up a credit card account which will allow you to call the service at a cheaper rate so you’ll get more time to chat and play.
  10. Remember to have fun and enjoy it. A phone chatline can be fun and trying to date shouldn’t turn into a chore. Chat and be yourself and this could help you find that extra special person.

So if these tips are helpful for you, start dating on the Chat2Date chatline today!
