The golden rules of speed-dating!

Speed dating seems to be taking off in a big way. Emerging a few years back many of us expected it to be one of those ‘fads’ that die out by Christmas!

From a man who’s now been to 4 speed dating events in the UK, I have formulated a very good strategy to ensure success at every event. Below you will see my quick guide to getting lucky at seed dating:

Don’t get battered!
Drunk people do and say stooped things. A couple of drinks calm the nerves but they also bring out the truth. The last thing you want to do is give to much away about you or your feelings about them, good or bad!

Choose the right event & location
There are loads of companies, individuals and organisations running these events now – it’s easy money, so why not. Just make sure you research the company and the sort of people it attracts to its events. Nothing worse than a pikie looking girl telling you she has 200 piercings and you can only see 2! Location is also key, if you want a classy choice go to the classy areas, and pay a little more if needs be!

Plan your questions well before the event
If you want to get the most out of the event you need to have a well oiled strategy in regard to what you want to find out about all these prospective partners. See my best questions article.

Take a mate.
It’s a great way of getting a second opinion about someone you are unsure about. It also relieves some of the initial nerves.

Be remembered
Don’t sit there and ask timid questions, giggling every 2 seconds. Get to the point and push for answers. People remember people who are direct and upfront. Everyone quickly forgets the wet ones!

Don’t talk crap or go to far
Whatever you do don’t start talking about money, kids, exs’, or how much you have had to drink. And don’t lie… if you get caught out (which you do) you look like a right twat!
