Have you tried speed dating yet? A lot of people are hesitant to try it because they believe that 5 minutes isn’t enough time to get to know someone, or because they feel uncomfortable doing it. These are legit reasons. However, if you go into speed dating with the a positive attitude and use these tips you will find it to be an awesome experience:
First Impressions
Your looks don’t matter too much. What’s more important is your style. What does the way you dress say about you? I’m not saying to dress like a rock star. Just be stylish. As long as you’re not dressed like a computer salesman, you’ll be fine. Use first impressions to your advantage.
Positivity
This doesn’t only apply to speed dating tips. Positivity is essential in all your interactions. When you have a huge smile on your face, people think “Wow, that guy must have his stuff together.” It instantly says so many good things about you. Also, watch your nervous habits like tapping your fingers or feet.
Don’t Drink… Too Much
I’ve made this mistake before. If you’re like me, alcohol makes you feel invincible and may cause you to do and say stupid stuff. Just drink enough to stay relaxed and to get your conversation juices flowing. It’s four minutes, you want to express yourself in a good way.
Focus On The Girl
Learn as much as you can about the other person in the time you have. Be genuinely interested. Everyone has standards in their mind of what kind of partner they want. Ask her questions and find out if she fits yours. Don’t be afraid to express yourself as well. If you say something dumb and she doesn’t like you, then it probably wouldn’t have worked out anyway. Find out what she’s passionate about and ask her questions about that.
Entertain Yourself
Speed dating is not a test or a serious event. It’s meant to be fun and playful. See it as an opportunity to meet a bunch of people and have a good time. Always entertain yourself and have fun with it. If you’re having fun, chances are the people you’re talking to will have fun as well. Simply look at it as an opportunity to meet lots of interesting people and make some new friends.
Keep these speed dating tips in mind when you go and you’ll be sure to have a good time!
