Have you made your New Year resolutions? Is one resolution to find love this year? Well Speed Dating may be a solution
These tips have been put together from the experience I have had from hosting speed dating events across the UK for over two years. I've been hosting in cities such as Nottingham, Derby and Manchester and so I really have seen everything there is to see from folks around country!
So, to make everything run that bit more smoothly for you at one of the many events that are going on around the country I want to share some more top tips with you...
Have a few questions ready just in case...
People always ask me, what do people talk about at speed dating events? Shall I come prepared with a list of questions? What if I don't have any questions? From my experience I would say have a few questions in mind just in case but don't pull out a piece of paper full of questions at the table! Just let the conversation flow naturally, I guarantee 9 times out of 10 it will do! If it doesn't, just ask the questions you had lined up in your head!
Don't drink too much
Sounds simple & easy but unfortunately, for some it's not. Nerves get the better of some people & they end up having one too many and perhaps embarrassing themselves a little. Not a great first impression! So, if you're at one of our events and you can feel you're moving from tipsy into 'rather drunk' it's probably better to grab a soft drink, relax & remember everyone else is in the same boat as you so there's no need to be nervous.
Be yourself & know that your host is there to look out for you
Don't try to be anyone you're not, the whole point of a speed dating event is to meet new people in a neutral setting where you can feel completely at ease, and enjoy yourself. Also, remember that the host is there as a friend and for guidance. If you have any questions, no matter how small they are there to help. If you're not happy with something, tell them and they will sort it for you straight away. The host is there for you so use them if you need them!
From my experience, these simple tips will help you enjoy the event much more and improve your chances of meeting some compatible.
What do you think? We'd love to hear your comments and what you think would be good useful tips?
