After eight years as a waitress on one of telly’s most popular dating shows, it’s safe to say Cici Coleman knows a thing or two about first dates.
Chatting to new ahead of the latest series of Teen First Dates, the 35-year-old tells us the best and worst things we can do while looking for love.
“Do not catfish your date!” she says, “It’s not fun, it’s very annoying. I was super-upset that my first date after lockdown didn’t look anything like their pictures. I spent two hours getting ready, as I hadn’t dressed up or worn heels in ages… and then I paid for the whole date too. It was a disaster!”
Here, Cici chats about dating dos and don’ts, and reveals what we can learn from relationships that don’t work out…
Hi, Cici! Can you tell us what to expect about the new series of Teen First Dates?
I prefer it to the adult series! Everyone is so mature. I wasn’t like that at 16, I was a complete idiot. These guys are so socially educated. I guess I expected everybody to come in and be on their phones, and not actually engage with their dates. But they know to put their phones to the side and they are just so polite. I was really impressed.
Is it a different experience for you as a waitress?
