Speed Dating Events
We all know first impressions create a long lasting memory in people. It is for this reason that you should be yourself when participating in a Speed Dating event. People will remember the person you are and can easily identify if you are being a fake. If you be yourself, you will have nothing to hide and nothing to cover up down the line. What you see is what you get, make people like you for who you are.
Nervous people have never won anything and they don't come across that well. If you act nervous in front of people, they can easily see that you are lacking confidence. Relax and keep a drink close to you. Sipping on a drink will calm your nerves and allow you loosen up.
Dont' talk about your ex, period. Sometimes we like to tell stories about our past relationships and often get into the trap of talking about our exes. With the limited amount of time that one has during the date, do you really want to waste your time in talking about bad past experiences? I didn't think so. Leave your past relationships at the door once you get there!
People love compliments and love it when another person praises them. It builds up their character and puts a smile on their face. Proceed with caution though. Women, as well as men, don't like the cheesy lines that you hear around the club. This is a different atmosphere and sophisticated and respectful remarks can go along way with your date.
One of the biggest challenges that a person will face is standing out. If you want to make a long lasting impression on someone, you have to do something memorable. You can try to tell a joke, say something remarkable, or even spill a drink. Whatever you attempt to do, make sure it's memorable. I recommend bringing a business card with you. If you bring a business card along with you, the people you meet will have a way of contacting you should they have an interest in you.
