Dim lighting and flowing libations make a bar feel like the perfect, low-pressure environment to meet a potential partner. Rarely, though, is this the optimal venue at which to form lasting connections, Grace Lee, a New York City-based dating coach and founder of A Good First Date, told CNBC Make It. Here are four more tips from Lee and other dating coaches on how to foster meaningful connections. And it's actually smart to discuss values early on, Kelsey Wonderlin, a dating coach based in Nashville, Tennessee, told CNBC Make It.

But, because finances are an important part of compatibility, many singles want to know upfront whether a potential match has similar spending and saving habits to them, says Nashville-based dating coach Kelsey Wonderlin. Wonderlin has counseled about 200 singles and says most care about the salary of their date if they are looking for a long term partnership. "A lot of my clients, who tend to be women in finance, say 'I want someone who can keep up with my lifestyle,'" she says. While some singles possess the skills to subtly ask about money, there are those who might outright ask about your salary.

In her three years as a dating coach Kelsey Wonderlin has learned that the majority of the 200 people she's counseled care about how much their potential mate earns. Evaluating a person based on their salary might seem shallow, but how someone spends their money can be a bellwether of their priorities. However, outright asking how much a person makes on a first date is not the right way, or the right time, to figure out if you two align on how you handle money. "On a first date that would be a socially unacceptable question to ask," Wonderlin says. "It's an unrealistic viewpoint that if someone makes this certain number everything will be great," Wonderlin says.
