Experience Speed Dating

Anyone that has been involved with speed dating will tell you that it is truly an experience. Some singles have a lot of fun with speed dating and participate regularly so that they can meet new people to share fun experiences with. Speed dating is an opportunity to meet people that will be fun to dance and party with on Saturday night, or even people that will provide long term romantic connections for you. There are a lot of different people looking for different things when it comes to speed dating, so you just might find that there is someone that is a good match for you and what you are looking for.

When you go to your first speed dating event you’ll want to make sure to be yourself. Dress like you would for a date, unless otherwise specified, and be prepared with some topics that you can bring up if conversation gets a bit stale. Great topics to talk about are the weather, your career, where you grew up, and what you like to do for fun. Of course, you will not only want to talk about the things that you do and like to do in your free time, but you will also want to ask your dates about these things as well.

It’s important when you go into the speed dating experience that you are relaxed and you don’t expect to meet your soul mate there. The fact of the matter is that you may meet your soul mate, but it’s better to not have that sort of expectation. Simply go with the expectation that you may or may not meet some people that are worthy of another date or two. When you approach the situation like that you will be happy when you meet someone that really seems to be someone special.

Speed dating is supposed to be fun, so concentrate on the element of fun. Even if the person that sits down across from you is not attractive, is not personable, and is not at all interesting, make the most of it. The easier you make your interactions with each person the quicker time will go by and the next person may be just what you have been looking for!

It’s likely that your speed dating experience will fly by. You may be a bit uncomfortable in the beginning, but after a couple rounds you’ll find yourself fitting into the routine quite well. Just try to relax, and remember to be yourself!

The artful side of Speed Dating

Dating is an art that has been there as long as man has been around. The recent past has seen the dating seen being transformed in an unprecedented way. People used to meet in bars, in events, school, colleges or at work, followed by visiting a place for a fun-filled expedition as they tried to learn about each other better. Like life and other intricacies that come with it, the art of dating has mutated to so many different forms. Speed dating is one of these dimensions that is overtly gaining in popularity and succeeding in making relationships out of single hood.

Speed dating is that event which you have to part with a small fee in advance before you begin enjoying its programs.  It offers so many services to its users. People are paired together and given some fixed short time to share a conversation with a member of the other gender, a period which can last for about 3-10 minutes. Immediately the time has lapsed, you are made to switch partners. It is done for another couple of rounds as you are given the opportunity to meet whoever interests you. This is what you indicate once you are given a dating card; that person you are interested in. after the date, there is that person you had written down who had also done so, and it is where things began taking an interesting turn. The speed dating organizers give both of you each other’s contacts info so that the ball of love and dating can start from your own platform. You have the decision to ask the other person for a formal date if you have the interest. 

The experience is a rollercoaster that is fast paced enough and lacks in any frightening memories. The speed dating organizers spare you from making the mistake of exchanging information with a person who might not be what you are looking for, as they make sure that you do not have any obligation to have quality time with anybody who does not play in your own league.

Speed dating is a new trend in the dating and match making realm which on the onset, does seem to be so popular. The reality is that it is now widely successful and changing the lives of single individuals who are so busy to have a normal dating experience and meet novel dates in the course of their socialization. Mostly, a lot could be said about the intricacies of an initial impression, which is the main tenet of this method of dating, since it gives you all the chances to read and find out if the chemistry of first impression is there or not. It is offered to you within the shortest time possible, and if it is there, you will notice.
There is no reason for wallowing in a dateless life as you burn your calories with worry, wondering when, how and where you are going to meet that person whom your mind has already met. Speed dating is your chance today. Try it!

How to Act on Your First Date? ? Part 1

I have had so many readers write and ask me, “How should I act on the first date? What should we talk about? How do you keep the conversation interesting?”, that I felt I should address these points a bit further.

The first thing to remember when you’re meeting up with a girl for ‘a date’ is that it’s not an interview. You’re not applying for a job (and neither is she), so don’t act like it.

It’s so funny to me when I sit down in a restaurant and I hear a couple that’s obviously out on their first date… and the guy has no idea what to do. It sounds something like this:

“So, did you grow up around here?”

“Where did you go to school?”

“Do you have brothers and sisters?”

“What kinds of things do you like to do for fun?”

Painful. Why is it that people tend to act like they’re on job interviews when they go out on dates? It’s such a not-right thing to do. I mean, no wonder women sit around with each other and complain about how hard it is to find an interesting guy in this world.

Here’s a good rule of thumb: only ask questions or talk about common, boring, predictable topics like school, work and family if you have absolutely run out of all other options.

And why is this? Good question. And I’m glad you asked. First, let’s talk about why most guys allow the conversation to turn to these ultra-boring topics… Most guys approach a first date from the perspective of ‘I don’t want to screw this up’. In other words, they try to play it safe and not do anything or say anything that the girl might not like.

They try to present themselves as ‘nice guys’ who love mom, have a good job, and are stable.

Somehow, guys have gotten the idea that if they act nice, buy dinner, and talk about the same old things that everyone else uses to bore women to tears that they might get lucky and score (or at least get a kiss and a second opportunity to buy dinner). I don’t know where this concept came from, but it’s just not a very effective approach.

Women aren’t attracted to the same old, boring, predictable conversation. Attraction happens when there is energy, spice, humor, mystery… cocky and funny… and saucy conversation.

So if you want to create attraction instead of boredom, you’re going to have to learn a new way. You’re going to have to learn to talk about something else.

The trick to not talking about the ‘usual’ things is to know how to make conversation interesting.

How to Act on Your First Date? ? Part 2

Let me ask you, what are the most INTERESTING topics to humans in general? Right – drama, violence, scandal, and comedy that is painful to one of the parties involved. Here are a few good ideas for conversation that come to mind:

“So what’s with The Osbournes being MTV’s #1 show of all time? I guess people just can’t get enough of dysfunctional family life… they have to watch it on TV too.”

“I’m so bummed that Justin broke up with Britney. They were so damn cute together. I was hoping that they’d have a daughter with fake blonde hair and breast implants at birth.”

“Have you tuned into this ‘Cheaters’ TV show? Don’t you just love it when they come storming into someone’s house and catch the wife in bed with another guy on national TV?”

These topics will light up a conversation like nobody’s business. And they create all kinds of opportunities to be cocky and funny while talking about the misfortunes and neurotic behavior of others. The trick is that you must remember you’re not there to impress her, and you’re not on a job interview. The more you act nervous, stilted, and uncomfortable… like you’re trying to impress her and get her approval… and like you don’t want to say anything that might make her disapprove of you, the less likely you are to trigger that all-important ATTRACTION inside of her.

And here’s a real twist on this theme: If SHE starts asking the ‘normal’ questions about school, job, family, etc. this is a perfect opportunity to bust on her and say, “What, is this a job interview?” or “Can’t you think of something interesting to talk about? Please, spare me the pain of the usual school-job-family conversation. Let’s save that until we’re picking names for our kids.”

Here are a few other good ideas for conversation:

1) History. Women love to hear stories about the history of places. If you’re in an interesting part of town, tell her the story of how the area came to be named, or why the city was built where it is. And if the story involves a tale of love and/or scandal, all the better.

2) Anything superficial, classy, and basically meaningless. Try learning a little about fashion, so this way you can make fun of it while acting like you know what you’re talking about. “Didn’t Madonna really screw up the fashion world with this whole over-the-top fake cowboy look thing?”

3) Comedy Psychological Analysis. Have fun by giving your wild perspective on others. “You know, I’ve been trying to figure out why so many people these days are going postal and shooting everyone. I think it might be all the NSYNC, Britney Spears, and Backstreet Boys on the radio.” This one can be a lot of fun… be creative.

Do you see where I’m going with this? If you want to keep her interest, then you have to be INTERESTING. The old-fashioned act-like-you’re-on-a-job interview rap just doesn’t cut it. Now, for some guys, the ideas that I’ve just talked about will make sense but won’t come naturally. That’s OK. You may have to work on this for awhile, especially if you’ve spent the last 25 or so years doing the wrong thing. Old Proverb: “No matter how far down the wrong road you’ve gone, TURN BACK.”

So remember, attraction isn’t a choice. And attraction doesn’t make logical sense. If you want to create that magical “chemistry”, then you’re going to have to learn and practice it.

Conversation and preparation tips for dating

To avoid the embarrassment of un-comfortable silences when you are dating, its a great idea to have some back up conversation pre-planned to keep things running smoothly. People respond well when you ask questions about them, something that they are familiar with. Try not to come across self absorbed and show genuine interest in your date. As the conversation unfolds your date will have the opportunity to reciprocate and find out a little about you. Conversations flow easily when you both show interest in each other.

Preparing for your date.

Research some of your dates likes and dis-likes which is also handy for conversation topics. Do a little ground work by asking some of your mutual friends and associates what they like so you can focus on things you may have in common. Knowing what food they like will get the night off to the right start. If someone you are dating is a vegan you don’t want to end up at a steak house. Find out about your dates hobbies, whether they are a sports nut, perhaps they play an instrument. Whatever they are into, having some inside information about them will have you both chatting for hours. There is no faster way to end a date than long periods of silence.

Unfortunately, not all of us singles have the opportunity to gather details about our date prior to the big night out. This is where your pre planned conversation comes into play. Chat about something funny that happened to you recently at work or with friends, perhaps talk about where you both went to school, what movies you have both seen recently, favourite holiday destination, where they grew up or even ask them about the worst date they have ever been on. Use these topics to further elaborate into smaller details opening the door to conversation.

Offer compliments. Everyone loves to be complimented and its a great ice breaker allowing for some innocent flirting if you can feel some chemistry building. Use phrases that are flattering such as “fantastic” “amazing” or “wow” avoid including the words “good” or “nice” when you are trying to genuinely compliment someone.

The first date is often the hardest not to mention the pre date nerves, dating them the second time around is alot easier, you will have learnt so much about them on your first date you can plan something you will both enjoy.
