Speed Dating Secret Friends Guide
Speed Dating And Looking For Love
By Julia Barnes
Speed dating is changing the way the single world operates.
As more people elect to jump into the dating pool, the
same old methods from years ago do not work quite as
effectively.
There is always a need for something new and fresh.
Singles need a way to get in touch with more people
in a shorter amount of time. But is speeding through
a room filled with other single people the way to find
a date?
What Is Speed Dating?
Speed dating is a new version of the old fashioned
singles mixer. The organizers gather together single
people in one room. In the room two circles are set
up. The men take one circle and the women take the
other.
A timer is set and each person exchanges information
with each other. If there is a connection, a business
card or phone number is exchanged before the buzzer
sounds.
The premise of speed dating is simple. After the first
pair has had a set amount of time, the horn is blown
or a bell is rung and everyone moves to his or her right.
The process begins again.
A Complete Circle
Once the men and women have made a complete circle,
the event is concluded. Each person has had the opportunity
to meet several new potential matches. Organizers of
the mixer count on having a significant amount of people
attend.
The downside to this method of dating is in the amount
of time spent with each person and the limited time
to review your first impressions. The whole concept
of speed dating is the idea of first impressions and
gut instincts but, is three minutes enough time to make
a choice on whether or not to give out your phone number?
This type of a singles dating service does not work
as well for those who are shy or not used to meeting
new people in such a rushed manner.
First Impressions Are Not Always Right
Speed dating has mixed reviews as to its effectiveness.
Not everyone is right for this type of matchmaking service.
It is definitely something to experience though. You
get a glimpse of people being on their absolute best
behavior in hopes of catching Mr. or Mrs. Right. If
you find yourself partaking of these services, keep
in mind that first impressions are not always
right.
The most essential component to dating is to have fun.
Too many people go into the speed dating rounds looking
to find love. It isn’t that it’s impossible and there
have been people who have met the girl or guy of their
dreams.
You know, just like love at first sight. Enjoy being
single and take the time to get to know the person.
If it does not pan out, there are always other business
cards in the sea.

Did You Know?
What is some helpful advice for the first date?
The best advice for a first date
is to be you. Strike that. Be a slightly flashier version
of who you really are. That means use your manners,
do not drag previous relationship baggage out on the
date and do not…absolutely do not…compare your date
to your ex.
At the very least do not do so to their face, it will
not go over so well. If you have not ever been on a
date, you are fifty years old and live in a house filled
with cats: you do not have to have total disclosure
on the very first date.
Relax, take it easy and enjoy meeting someone new.
They may not turn into a long term relationship but
you can at least have fun.
