Speed Dating Useful Tips

Monday, March 28th, 2011

Today the rhythm of life becomes quicker every day and people don’t have enough time to find a right person to build successful relationship with. And Speed Dating became a decision for this problem. It helps people not to waste time and makes chances to find a right person much higher. There are different variant of organizing speed dates, but usually a person who want to take part in a speed date fills in the form and then the organizers give him/her a time and place of the date.

Usually a restaurant, cafĂ© or club is chosen for Speed Dating. The girls sit at the tables and receive beiges with names and numbers. Men change tables every five-ten minutes after a bell. In this time people should know each other better and understand if they want to meet again. This way in one evening every participant of the speed date meets with fifteen – twenty people. In the end of the evening everybody fills in the form, where he/she marks those participants with whom he/she would like to meet again. The organizers compare the results and give the contacts, if there are matches in the forms.

Useful Tips:

Firstly, it’s better not choose a new or the most decorated dress and not to make too bright make-up. Your clothes should be comfortable and not distract your attention from the date – that’s why a new pare of shoes on high heels is not the best decision. Your clothes should reveal your style and individuality, and the make-up should emphasize your natural beauty. It’s a good idea to wear some massive accessory that attracts attention and separates you from the crowd. You will be easily remembered by such accessory.

It’s a good idea to take pen and paper with you to make some notice after each date. Then you surely would no forget with whom you would like to meet one more time.

Think about the topics for the talk and questions. If you’ll know what to ask it’ll be easier to start talking. It’s also a good idea to think in advance what you want to say about yourself. Don’t talk about your work or income. Remember, a speed date is a kind of your first date, and the first impression is the most important. Talk about your hobbies; try to find something in common with your partner. It’s a bad idea to talk about your problems, health and relatives. Remember, the talk should be pleasant and interesting, only then you both would like to meet again.

Try not to tell lies. If you’ll like each other and will start dating, the truth will surely go out, but then it can ruin the relationship. It’s better to be honest, but don’t tell your secrets of course.

Remember, Speed Dating has a great advantage – if you don’t like the person you’ve met – just don’t mark him/her in the form. Only the people you liked will be given your contacts. So, Speed dating is an easy, quick and secure way to find a person to build happy relationships with.

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

There are various agencies that offer a 3-hour party with everything from 3-minute dates, which include up to 35 people and 10-minute dates with 8-10 people. Speed dating services mainly guarantee mini dates, without there being a need for uncomfortable ice breaking. Free speed dating sites help individuals in avoiding blind dates, luxurious dinners and lunches with singles where there is no chemistry by providing them basic information about each other free of cost. On the basis of this information individuals can decide if they want to go ahead and meet that other individual personally or not without incurring any expenses.

At speed dating events, an equal number of men and women gather at a particular place that has been rented out for the evening. The place is filled with tables for two, and every table is numbered. Participants have a set amount of time, normally, 3 to 10 minutes. At the end of the set time, the host either rings a bell or plays music between rounds to let individuals know that they have to move on to the next date. Individuals are asked to write on a form if they would be interested in seeing this person again. These forms contain boxes with options of yes and no. If both parties have ticked the ‘yes’ box, planners let participants know within 48 hours about the matches that have been made, and provide each of them the other’s email address, or email address as well as phone number.

Most free speed dating services do not provide individuals with any contact information about the singles listed with them. This includes their telephone number, last name, e-mail address, business card, or their address.

With the intention of creating a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable evening for everyone, there are few subjects that individuals are not allowed to discuss at any time during a speed-dating event. They are not allowed to ask for contact information, ask anyone for another date, ask sexually explicit questions, use vulgar words, or say anything that may be understood as hostile or as sexual harassment.
