Matthew Hussey is a leading dating coach, who has 1.8 million Instagram followers. He runs a hugely successful Youtube channel, offering love life advice to those in need.

He spoke to 5 Live Drive about some of the common relationship woes he addresses in his new book, Love Life, including how to get over someone that you were never properly in a relationship with.

According to Matthew, just because someone is in "level one" - you fancy them - or "level two" - there is mutual attraction - doesn't mean you know they are the one for you, even if you've built up a romantic narrative around them.

For this, you need to have levels three and four down - commitment and finally, compatibility.

So for those feeling low after a brilliant first date that doesn't result in a second meeting, Hussey says we need to "let go of the story in our minds."

"It's a fantasy that prevents us living our lives"
