So the results are in, out of 15 men, 14 of them indicated that they were interested in me. I feel bad that I wasn't interested in more of them, but alas that's how the cookie crumbles. I don't want to toot my own horn, but I think I did a few things that led to this number of dates wanting to spend more time with me.
Ladies, listen up- maybe these things will work for you too:
1. I dressed cute with a touch of "sexy." I wore a black top, skinny jeans, red patent leather heels, and a tan blazer. A few guys told me I looked nice, and I think the red shoes gave them something to remember me by.
2. Even when I wasn't 100 percent interested I made a conscious effort to keep smiling. It had been a very long day and I was exhausted, but I tried very hard not to let it show.
3. I shook everyone's hands, immediately, and with a firm grip.
4. I tried to let them do most of the talking. I of course answered all of their questions but always brought it back to them.
5. I kept it light. Laughing and joking is good.
Now, unfortunately some of the guy did not do these things... so here's some advice as to what guys SHOULD NOT DO when speed dating- or dating in general.
1. Do not wear a "free" t-shirt (you know what I mean, those XXL shirts that get handed out on college campuses and sporting events) and have it tucked into outdated jeans.
2. Do not start the date by speaking in a foreign language. (Didn't happen to me, but did to a friend.)
3. Do not mention that in your free time your favorite hobby is playing with your two cats. (I like cats but I hope you have more interesting hobbies. - again this didn't happen to me but to a friend.)
4. Don't have a weak handshake. You're a man, shake hands like one.
5. Do not reference your ex-wife. Especially do not reference her more than 3 times in a 3 minute date.
6. Do not interrupt other people's conversations.
Have you tried speed dating? Would you? What advice do you have for daters?

ReplyDeleteIn the midst of all the action, remember to keep notes about the person who you have just met. When the event is in full swing, it’s easy to forget the write a number and comment down. Keep it simple by using smiley’s as your key or better still, define some simple, coded drawings (in advance) to record how you felt about a certain person. If you receive any requests for further contact after the event, you’ll have a much easier time if you know how/why you graded the person you are meeting. If you forget to write enough detail down and you’re not sure, go along to the date anyway – what have you got to lose? The other person thought you were great and that’s already 50% of the battle won – so just do it
ReplyDeleteAs it’s highly likely you are going to be sat behind a table during the Speed Dating event , concentrate on getting your body language right and start thinking from the waist up as only the upper part of your body is going to be visible and for a limited timeframe. Lean in towards your date to indicate you are interested in what is being said and maintain good eye contact
ReplyDeleteWhile listening. Never cross your arms unless you really want to put off your suitor. Sit upright – as well helping you concentrate on what is being said and projecting a clearer voice, you’ll appear more attractive and your cleavage/chest will be lifted substantially! Women -If you want to flirt, play with your hair a little. Chances are you’ll be doing this already if someone is attractive to you but don’t go overboard as you’re suitor will think you have a nervous tick. Men – cock your head to one side to show you are listening – women like a man who pays attention.
