The funny thing about speed dating is that you only have six minutes to decide who you consider a long term partner material! Well, you might as well make the best of it and have some solid questions prepared. You might want to consider having answers for these questions at the ready! Prepare a mini " Personal Infomercial" around each question, a quick one minute response that highlights some positive aspect of your personality!
Tip 2: Top Questions!
Here are a few very popular speed dating questions to ask:
What are you most proud of in your life?
Is religion important to you?
What do you do for fun?
Why did your last relationship end (Break-Up)?
Do you want to get or have you ever been married?
Do you want or do you have any children?
If we got into an argument, how would we settle it?
Where do you see yourself in five years?
What do you do for work?
Is sexual compatibility important to you?
What do you look for in a (boy/girl)friend/spouse
Do you kiss on the first date? If so, how soon can we go out?
Did your last relationship end with a restraining order?
(The last two are in jest, ;-{9 )
Tip 3: Be Confident!
Show Confidence, Even If You Don't Feel Confident!
People like their partners to show confidence. The truth is you can "Fake it until you make it". In other words, in the course of "acting" confident, you actually train yourself to be more confident! Try it, it works!
Tip 4: Make Introductions
Many times, a speed dating event is segmented by age, so you only meet singles in your age bracket. It always pays to introduce yourself to as many singles as time permits. You never know when you may meet again!
Tip 5: Don't Be a Whiner
In other words, have a postitve attitude going into the event. If you immediately look around, and decide, "There is no-one here for me" , or "I should be with the young ones over there", You have already closed your mind to being successful. Keep an open mind, be pleasant, grin and bear it!! Who knows what connections you might make later on as a result!!
