Speed Dating Tips

There are some tips you can follow to get the most out of a speed dating event for professionals. In speed dating, you only have a few minutes to create a lasting impression before you move to the next person. You may not have time to engage in much small talk, especially if you want to learn as much as possible about the other person during your brief encounter.

Since you only have time to make a first impression during speed dating, there are many tips that focus on your appearance. Simply smiling can have a positive impact on the person across the table from you. There are also tips surrounding apparel. For example, you may want to dress in clothing of a color that flatters you.

Speed Dating Tips to Make the Most Out of the Evening

Before heading to a speed dating event, here are some tips you can follow to get the most out of the evening:

• If the organizing company provides a questionnaire, be as complete and honest as possible, as it may be used to form groups for speed dating.
• Think about the questions you want to ask people prior going to the event. You may be able to come up with more clever (or less offensive) ways of asking the questions than you originally thought.
• Body language can be just as informative as what you say or what is said to you. Leaning forward and giving a high level of eye contact can convey interest.
