Speed Dating is a great way to
meet people, have fun and look for that instant spark of chemistry. But you
need to remain calm and have interesting questions to ask if you want to
make a great first impression in the allotted time.
Here are some suggested
questions for you to ask that will help to make this a fun evening for you:
-
You're
cooking dinner for a friend and you accidentally burn the main course.
Do you: (a) cook another main course; (b) own up to the mistake and
order a pizza; (c) say you've changed your mind and go out for dinner?
-
If you were
an animal in the wild, what would you be?
-
Throughout
your childhood you were told that the color red is blue. Now you've
found out the truth, red looks red and blue looks blue. How do you
react?
-
Do you
believe that the cup is half empty or half full?
-
Do you have
any 'happily married' friends or are they just married?
-
If you
could time travel to the past to correct any mistakes you feel you've
made, would you?
-
You are
told you have six months left to live, what do you do first?
-
Aliens have
landed and selected you to visit their home planet. Do you go with them?
-
You've won
the lottery, how will you spend your millions?
There are important factors to
consider when Speed Dating. You
only have one chance to make a great first impression. Here are some tips
for you:
Do:
-
Have
interesting questions ready
-
Be
showered, shaved, dressed nicely
-
Be on
time
-
Bring a
pen
-
Bring a
friend of the same sex
Don't:
-
Have any
alcoholic drinks or take drugs before or during the event
-
Check out
the venue before the Speed Dating event. You don't want to appear to be
a regular customer where the event is held. And on that note, if your
regular watering hole (pub or bar) is hosting a Speed Dating event,
don't go. You'll be too nervous with your friends looking at you on the
other side of the bar
-
Monopolize the conversation talking about yourself in too much detail.
If you've had a bad day at work, or on the way there, now is not the
time to talk about it
-
Bring
pictures of your kids, you're not there to talk about them
-
Talk
about any ex-partners or past relationships
-
If you
meet someone you really click with and end up going out with them for a
coffee after the Speed Dating event, don't talk about the others that
are there. You may end up with a date from someone else that was there
and you may appear to critical of others
Here are some
reviews of Speed Dating services
for you to consider joining to find the next
Speed Dating event in your area.
Best wishes,
