In dating for the first time, first impressions can last a
lifetime... mayhap because you will never get to correct a wrong
impression. More so in speed dating where couples are given
several minutes to get to know each other. Here are several
speed dating tips guaranteed to make an impression that will
last a lifetime... together.
Looks, Looks, Looks
While the adage, beauty is skin deep, is certainly true, nobody
will dare deny that looks are also important especially in the
initial stages of dating. One of the classic speed dating tips
is to look your best. Dress appropriately and cleanly. Nothing
beats good grooming in speed dating. Make sure that you have
also gotten the dress code right. Showing up in a sexy number
when the event is actually just smart casual can ruin your
chances. If you are unsure, ask the organizers what people
usually wear. They sure have a lot of speed dating tips to share
as well.
Smile
This is one of the speed dating tips that never fails to work.
Smiling not only brightens up your face and makes you even more
beautiful; it will also make you more approachable and
comfortable to be with. People instantaneously relax in the
presence of people who are happy.
Eye contact.
Another one of those speed dating tips that you should not leave
without, eye contact not only shows that you are interested but
also that you are a genuine and interesting person. People are
more attracted to people who look at them straight in the eye
when they converse.
Be interesting
People often make the mistake of taking this and other similar
speed dating tips literally. Being interesting does not mean
that you'll act as though you just came from another dimension
or dominate the conversation until your date has gotten to know
how "interesting" you are. Strive to know more about your date.
Be interested. You'll be more interesting that way.
Stock up on possible questions
There is nothing wrong in coming there in full-battle gear. Be
prepared with a list of possible questions. There is no worst
way to end a speed dating conversation than in silence.
Don't overdo the compliments
While it's good to say nice things, overdoing the compliments
may mean certain death on the date. Overcomplimenting comes
across as insincere, even if you truly are. It will also make
you appear desperate and needy. This is one of the speed dating
tips that you should not not remember!
Be yourself
The advice be yourself has probably been included in hundreds of
speed dating tips articles in the land but still, people do not
seem to get it right. While there is no point in pretending
someone you are not, that does not mean that you have to show
your date your whole self, including the worst part. Be yourself
but be your best self.
Don't be a space invader
There are people who are just plain claustrophobic when it comes
to touch. Remember not to invade another person's personal
space, as this is a major faux pas in speed dating. Be
sensitive. If you feel that your date is uncomfortable with your
touch, don't get too close.
Don't exchange personal info
One of the rules in speed dating is to not give any personal
info. If you two are genuinely interested in each other and
check each other in the list afterwards, the speed dating
organizer will make sure that you two hook up again.
