How to do well at Speed Dating

Here are some tips to help you do better at meeting people while speed dating.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Provide a good visual presentation. Make certain your hair and makeup look good, nothing is stuck in your teeth, etc. Dress in a way that is memorable. A colorful shirt or tie, a unique neckleace, something that will set you apart.

2. You only have a short period of time, exchange greetings and get to the matter at hand. Yes, it is hot outside, we all know that and it is boring. You want to be a artist? That is interesting. The beauty of speed dating is that there is no time to waste, sell yourself quickly.

3. The closing handshake is a good time to get attention. A firm, long, or two handed handshake conveys you are interested. A short, loose handshake conveys 'good luck!'. If you really like the person tell them so, what do you have to lose?

Tips & Warnings

• It is speed dating, go for broke! You'll probably never see them again.
• Don't pass out personal information. Follow up dates should occur in a public place.
