So, you’ve decided to try your luck with speed dating. Maybe you’ve done it many times before, or maybe
this is your first time. Speed dating allows you the chance to meet many other singles in a short amount of time. However, it leaves you with less time to make a good impression. If you are looking to make a great impression while speed dating, you should know a few basic tips for success.
You may be tempted to go to the speed dating session with a friend. Why not, you’ll be more comfortable, right? I highly advise against going with a friend. You may feel more comfortable, but you will seem like you’re not confident enough in yourself to come alone. If you usually go with a friend, try going alone just once. It may be the simple step you need to find someone special.
Looking your best on a speed date is so very important. You will be talking to a perspective date for just a few minutes, so making a good first impression is essential. Dress in an outfit that makes your feel comfortable, but make sure it looks nice. Try not to apply too much makeup, perfume, or cologne, as it can be distracting. Looking professional isn’t important, but looking your best is. Don’t show too much skin, but wear something that shows your personality.
When it comes time to sit down with a perspective date, take a deep breath. Just be yourself, and try to be comfortable. Speed dating can be nerve-wracking, but try not to show your nervousness. Take a deep breath, smile, and ask questions. Try not to talk about yourself too much during a speed date, it’s about learning as much as your can about each other in a short amount of time.
Putting the effort into creating a good first impression is crucial to a successful speed dating session. Don’t be discouraged if your first time doesn’t go as well as you hoped, you will have more experience for next time. Good luck!
