Speed Dating Tips For Singles

Speed Dating
With romance in the air, some single men and women find it difficult to find partners to love.

Speed dating is one such way which can help you find a partner. It was first introduced by the Rabbi Yaacov Deyo of Aish HaTorah, which was used to help Jewish singles meet and later marry.

In simple words, speed dating is an event where partners meet each other and have short series of conversations in a short period of time.

Many single men and women find speed dating not helpful as they feel it is not possible to get to know anyone in a frame of 5 to 10 minutes.

Here below is a list of tips to help you make speed dating a lot more easier.

1.Appearance- Look great to stand out in the crowd. When there is a speed dating event, there will be a number of single men and women dressed for the occasion. Make sure that you do not over dress, do not look seductive and do not put on too much make up as it will turn the man off.

2.Relax- When you go for a speed dating event, make sure to put on a radiant smile across your face as it is one aspect that will make the other person comfortable. It is also important to relax and not get nervous.

3.Body Language- It is important for you to sit up straight and not slouch. Keep in mind not to fold your arms across your chest as it will put across a bad impression of you. Relax and sit comfortably to show your partner that you are ready to mingle.

4.Alcohol- Remember that you have just four to five minutes to get to know your partner. Do not make a mistake of consuming alcohol as it might cause harm to your precious time.

5.Conversations- Do not sit dumb. Make an effort to go up to the opposite sex and begin a conversation. It is important to socialize. Ask questions that is relevant and which might begin a conversation.

6.Focus- This is the most important speed dating tip. It is always essential to listen to your partner who is seated before you rather than just talking about yourself all the time throughout the evening. If this happens, your partner will get bored and this will not be good.

This speed dating is something new in the dating world. So it is left up to one to leave a good impression for your partner to select you to be the love of his/her life.

Remember that he/ she will be meeting other women and men throughout the evening so keep in mind to make a fantastic appearance with a positive attitude and the right perspective.
