Speed dating 101


Speed dating is the new fun and convenient way to meet people. Initially started in 1998 by a Rabbi as a singles activity, it has now gained popularity all over the world. If you are one of those people that are not able to date because you don’t like frequenting bars or clubs to find random people, hate getting set up on a blind date by a ‘concerned’ aunt or simply don’t have the time, speed dating is the best thing for you.

By simply enrolling for a speed dating event, you put all the responsibility on the organizers to filter out the prospects. Depending on your age, orientation and interests, organizers put together a group of like minded people. There are equal number of men and women who take turns meeting everybody for a fixed duration of time. If you like someone or feel that there is potential, you write it in your scorecard. If that person feels the same, you get each other’s contact details.

It’s a great way for you and your friends to spend your evening as it lasts for only an hour or two. You also get to meet many interesting people and even if you don’t find a date, you might find yourself a great friend. Another perk of speed dating is that it doesn’t involve any excessive spending like formal dating. The fees that you pay the organizers include all food and beverages.

It is good to prepare before the event as it will help you find some perspective. By knowing what you want in your date, you can ensure yourself a good time. Have a short speech prepared when someone asks you about yourself. Be humorous and inviting so everyone has a good time with you. Do not be disappointed if you do not find your perfect date the first time; just remember to have loads of fun and spend a great evening getting to know interesting people.

Online Dating For Singles

Bored with your single status? If you’ve decided to get on to the dating circuit, you might also want to give a thought to online dating. It’s a great way to meet like minded people, and in case it doesn’t work out, at least you won’t have to face a disappointed friend who set you up in the first place.

First, visit sites that focus on serious dating for singles, and don’t just cater to people looking for casual flings. When you start your search, it’s easy to get attracted to great looking people. Looks matter, yes, but more importantly, your interests should match. When you upload your profile, be as honest as possible. It’s nice to say you read award winning books, but if you don’t, then you won’t enjoy getting stuck with someone who wants to discuss your “interests”. Be honest with your photos also. Don’t choose really old or digitally altered photos. The person you meet might be so disappointed that it’ll put a damper on the whole date. And, think about it – you wouldn’t like it if someone did the same with you. Don’t rush into meeting the person, and don’t force someone to meet you. You’ll only seem aggressive and pushy. Spend a bit of time getting to know him or her on email and phone calls. When you do decide that there’s someone you want to meet, set up the first date in a public place. Dress attractively, of course, but do be careful about the signals you want to give. Also, it will be better if you both make your own way there; so that you have the freedom to leave in between if you have to.

Finally, don’t be in a hurry to end your single status. Enjoy the freedom that you have to be yourself, and date as much as possible before deciding on who’s the right person for you.
