How to Be Confident When Speed Dating

Video Transcript

"And now I'm going to talk to you about how to be confident when Speed Dating. Obviously, Speed Dating is a nerve-racking thing. I know, I've done it many things myself. It's very nervous. But when you go a lot, when you're talking with fifteen, twenty people in a night you need to be confident to talk to them and talk to them about yourself. Because it's quite, it's quite difficult, like you might talking about yourself but then some people don't like talking about themselves. The best way to stay confident is to prepare. You know where you're going, you know who's organizing the event, you know what you've got to do when you get there. You've planned ahead. Then when you get there, the organizer will make you, will try to make you feel at ease. They maybe do some ice-breaking activities with you. They'll come around and have a chat with you, ask your name. And explain, they'll explain what's going to happen to you in detail in the night. And they will show you to your seat. Anything you need, just ask them. And that should all add to making you feel confident for the, for the event itself. And then obviously, as I've said before, don't, don't drink too much. Obviously, a drink might make you more confident, but you will definitely regret it the next day. And, and just think about being yourself. Talk to someone like they're your friend, like talk to them like you would talk to your friend, how you would talk to your family. And even, even imagine that you're talking to Brad Pitt or something, if that would make you feel more confident, more at home with yourself. And that's what I can suggest would make you more confident. Be prepared, be yourself."
