Speed DatingSpeed dating events are a great way to meet singles and test out your flirting skills at the same time. You can have a lot of fun with a room full of cute guys and girls, spending 5-10 minutes at a time talking and flirting and you can end up with more than one date. This faster approach to dating is ideal for people who don't always have the time to socialize, are tired of smoky bars or don't have the singles network to meet new people. It's a lot easier if you can find a well organised event as it's full of single people and they tend to create more dates than most other events. It's also called fast dating, fast seduction, 8 minute dating and also found under dating events. Now assuming you know the basic concept of speed dating lets run through some useful tips on how to impress on the night. How to impress at Speed Dating1. Make a good first impression - There is an old saying 'you never get a second chance to make a good first impression' and never has this been more apparent than at speed dating. Always smile and ask for the persons name and even though a name badge is usually in place, it pays to actually say their name. It will help you impress the person as everyone likes the sound of their own name right? It certainly is important to dress well also.Internet dating at www.great-expectations.com
2. Dress to impress - This goes especially for guys as the feedback we receive from women in our workshops is they love to see guys well groomed and presentable. It does not mean for guys to put on the suit and tie for the night, but wear something you feel comfortable in but well dressed. If you feel you look your best in certain clothes than why not wear them but dress up a little more than normal. 3. Eating and Talking - If they serve food you really are best to eat before hand or be prepared to nibble during the breaks. There is nothing worse than talking to someone more involved with what they are eating and munching away while you talk. There is a whole list of do's and don'ts we could include on conversation ettiquette here but we will concentrate here on that all important first impression. 4. First questions to ask - If you are wondering what works best as an opening line - take the lesson from Speed Dating Melbourne guests who say the answer is don't use an opening line. Here are some great first questions to ask to keep the conversation positive and interesting. Try to keep the questions simple, fun and light hearted. The intention is just to have a conversation and get to know the person beyond what they do for a living.
6. Avoid Personal Interrogation - This is an absolute no-no. Try not to interrogate into other peoples personal lives, especially if you see any negative reaction in their body language. If you really want to get to know the person ask them what makes them laugh, or what they like to do for fun. You are bound to get a positive response (believe us - ask the right questions and things will flow nicely). 7. Fill out your card - Sounds simple but many speed daters from Speed Dating Melbourne forget to fill out their card sometimes which obviously makes it harder to record matches. Also a good point to remember is to write notes on your dates so later or next day when you get your matches you know who it is you matched with. A lot of people can get quite anxious before speed dating events so the lesson is to have fun, don't over think it and treat the event as a great way to meet a lot of singles, practice your flirting and hopefully meet someone you like.
