Knowing the best speed dating conversation starters can be the best way to take the pressure off yourself and impress your date. The real key is in the power of the questions you ask.

Great questions to ask at speed dating

Ask yourself if you think these speed dating conversation starters would get a positive response.

  • What makes you laugh?
  • What do you do for fun?
  • What do you like to do in your spare time?
  • What animal would you most like to be?
  • What is the funniest pick up line you have heard?
  • Have you ever flirted to get a better deal?
  • What's the daggiest worse item of clothing you have worn?
  • What is your favourite movie?
  • If you could hang out with any celebrity for a whole day, which famous person would you choose?
  • What's the most unusual thing you know how to do?

    A question I get asked is - What if you are attracted to someone but appear to have nothing in common?

    My answer is - if the chemistry is there - does it matter you are a little different?

    The best way is to approach a conversation as an opportunity to learn. If you aren't into sports or think fly fishing is boring then why not say - 'tell me, I am curious, what makes fly fishing so interesting or exciting for you as I don't get it'.

    The purpose is not to argue the benefits of fly fishing or sports or whatever they are interested in, but a chance to have a passionate discussion as they are more likely to get into it.

    Having said that, what are the opening lines NOT to ask?

    Well we believe these can often lead to negative or downward spiralling conversations for no other reason than they may have a negative reaction to the question.

    Speed Dating Conversation Starters NOT to ask

  • What do you do for a living?
  • Do you get along with your family?
  • Tell me about your last relationship?
  • Do you come to speed dating often?
  • What is your worse dating experience?

    Speed dating conversation starters are easy once you think in terms of whether you will get a positive or negative reply.

    Once you know they are going to be positive or hopefully laugh initially, chances are the rest of the conversation will fly along.

    We wish you luck on your speed dating!
