Tips For Speed Dating
March 9, 2010 | 5 Comments
Speed dating was introduced in the 1990s. He originally invented speed dating as a way for young Jewish singles to meet other singles. Since the advent of it has become increasingly popular throughout the United States as well as many other countries and in many major cities there are nightclubs hosting speed dating nights.
The basic format of is to invite an equal number of men and women to a location and set up a system where each man has 5-10 minutes to speak to each woman.
Generally the women will be seated at a table for two and the men are given one table to start at and have a predetermined amount of time to get to know the woman at this table and determine whether or not they are compatible. After the time limit the woman stay where they are seated and the men move to the next table. This process continues until each of the couples has had their date.
At the conclusion of each date, you check off whether or not you are interested in meeting with this person further and at the conclusion of the night, if your date was also interested in meeting you the event organizers provide you with the contact information for your matches. Speed dating can be a lot of fun but it does move quickly and its best to go into your first speed dating experience prepared.
Since speed dating allows you a very limited amount of time to get to know each date making a good first impression are critical. Looks may not be everything but when you are being judged on such a short amount of time looking your best wont hurt. Take care in your appearance on the night of the speed dating event and be sure to smile. A sloppy appearance may result in your date mentally rejecting you before the date even starts and not putting much effort into their answers to your questions or to trying to get to know you.
A polished appearance on the night of your speed dates will ensure that you make an excellent first impression and ensure that your dates are eager to get to know you better.
Going into a speed dating situation prepared is also very important. Again your time is limited so now is not the time to engage in a lot of mindless small talk. Take the opportunity to ask engaging, open-ended questions that will really help to determine whether or not you have met a potential match. Also, use this opportunity to ask questions that you know would be sure to eliminate a potential match. For example if you are not interested in dating a smoker, be sure to ask whether or not your date smokes. Knowing what you want to ask ahead of time will ensure that you are asking your dates relevant questions.
Punctuality is also very important to speed dating. You would never want to be late for any date because its impolite to keep your date waiting but in speed dating it could really cost you. Since it moves quickly, you may arrive late to find that your spot has been given away or that you have missed one or more of your dates. Be sure to arrive on time for your speed dates to ensure you dont miss any opportunities.
Speed dating is all about having a good time but its also about finding potential matches so while you are on your dates, answer questions honestly and be yourself. The more honest you are during the dates the more likely you are to find a well suited match. Giving answers just because you think they are what your date wants to hear could result in the matches you find not really being your type. While they might be fun to date for awhile they probably wont be a good long term match for you.
Once you have made a few potential matches, do not wait too long after your speed dates to contact those matches. Both you and your dates may have made several matches that night and it may be difficult to remember much detail about each date. The sooner you contact them the more likely it is that both of you will remember the details of your date.
Exercising caution is another important tip for speed dating. While your contact information is only given out if both you and your date indicate that you are a match, first impressions can sometimes be wrong so be careful with those you choose to make contact with after the speed date. Try setting up future dates in well populated, public places so that you will not be exposing yourself to unnecessary danger.
Speed dating is becoming an increasingly popular way to meet potential matches. It can be a very fun experience and following the tips provided above will help to allow you to have a good time, meet a wonderful partner and remain safe.

With 90% of online daters giving up after three months because of no progress there’s definitely room for improvement in the approach to this perfectly designed way of meeting singles. Online dating services have been created to make the process of meeting other compatible singles easier, and yet, thousands upon thousands of singles can’t get past the first hurdle, and that’s actually communicating with someone that they like, online.
Tip 1 Read Reviews
Read reviews of online dating services. There are a ton of web sites where you can read reviews of internet dating web sites, and you’ll find that most dating services come up time and time again on these review sites. Why is that? Because these are the sites that most singles are joining. It can make the difference of joining a service that has thousands of singles listed in your area to a service that has just a handful. It doesn’t take a lot of working out which web site is going to give you the most chances of starting a relationship.
Tip 2 Join More Than One Dating Service
If you join just one service like the 90% of singles that “don’t get it,” chances are it will be the wrong one for you. If you join 3 web sites you’ll have a much better chance of joining one that is going to have the member count that you need.
If you join just one service, and you struggle to get some interaction going with the 10 members they have listed in your area you’ll probably give up online dating altogether. There’s going to be one service that has hundreds or even thousands of singles in your area, you just need to find it.
Tip 3 Add Your Photo to Your Profile
When you have become a member of your chosen dating services you need to create a profile. Most singles will create a username, and write a couple of lines about themselves so they can then start searching the profiles. And then their profile stays like that.
The most important thing to put on your profile if you’re serious about meeting other singles online is your photo. Your photo is the first point of attraction, and it will make your profile stand out from the rest. Also, most dating services now have a search feature that allows singles to only have profiles come up in the search results that have photos. If you don’t have a photo your profile will probably never get seen as it won’t appear in many search results.
Your photo doesn’t only get your profile viewed more often it will get you more replies to your messages. If you continue to send messages when the person you’re trying to chat with doesn’t know what you look like then you’re not going to get a reply. There are many reasons why someone won’t put their photo on their profile, and none of them are good ones.
Tip 4 Upgrade Your Membership
If you’re serious about meeting someone online then you need to upgrade your membership. Until you do that you’re stuck with using the free messages you get to send someone to let them know you’re interested in them. These messages are all the same, and they often get deleted. If they worked in any way they wouldn’t be free. Once you upgrade you can send Emails, and this is what gets you your replies.
Your can say as much as you want in an email. What you don’t want to do is start sending Emails that only have a line of text in them just like the free messages you can use. A lot of online daters do this, and then wonder why their Emails aren’t getting any replies when they’ve been told they have a better response rate than the free flirts and winks.
Mention something that you have read in their profile, this actually proves that you have read their profile, and you’re not emailing them because you like their photo. It’s a better idea to put something in the subject line of your Email that you have read in their profile. This will instantly grab their attention from all the other messages and emails they have received.
Just these four simple tips will give you a much more productive online dating experience. Get the first three right first before you actually pay for your membership. These web sites have the tools that create relationships, all you need to do is use them better than everyone else does, and you’ll be the one starting a new relationship soon. And the relationship will be with someone you would never had met if it wasn’t for online dating.

Ladies, what do you think of these dating tips?

It was on the Yahoo! homepage, and I liked some of them, so I want to know which you believe to be true (and which you disagree with):
http://dating.personals.yahoo.com/singles/datingtips/88620/dating-tips-12-things-you-dont-know-about-women
Pretty much text book typical awful advice from women to men on how to get women:
#’s 1,8,9,10, & 12 are meant to set a man up to be controlled and act from a position of weakness
#2 & 4 just show how vain women are and how much stock that put in stupid stuff
The one about hitting on a woman is always flattering is TOTAL b.s….if she’s not attracted to you, she is annoyed and thinks you are a creep….
If you are a woman, I suppose this is EXACTLY the kind of horsesh*t you want your man to be deluded by….if you are a dude, you should damn near do the opposite if most everything said, minus the taking forever to get ready
CAustin: glad to see you are finally coming around….I am to knowledge of life as you are to physics……
