Speed Dating Tips Continued
3. Know what you are looking for, and prepare your questions in
advance
To get the most out of the speed dating session (you are paying for
it after all), it's a good idea to have prepared a list of questions you
want to ask.
Remember that the aim is to find someone who you click with - who you
ultimately would like to spend more time with. Do you really like being
outdoors, and want a partner who will share similar interests in outdoor
activities?? Then find out if they like it too!! Do you love dogs? Find
out if your date loves them too!
Ideas for specific speed dating questions

4. Be a Good Listener
When your date is talking, you should be listening to see if they are
the type of person you want to be with. Also, by showing you are a good
listener, people will warm to you.
To be a good listener you should nod your head to show that you are
listening, make eye contact, smile, and ask more questions to further
explore what they are saying.
5. Body Language
In addition to the above point, don't slouch in front of your date or
look at other people during your date, or check your watch. They might
think that you are bored and tired talking to different people all in
one night.
You don't need to sit stiffly like you're in an interview either - this can
be intimidating. Leaning forward as opposed to back in your chair
signals interest in the other person.
If a woman starts playing with her hair, or flicking her hair over her
shoulder, it's a good sign that she is attracted to you.
If your date starts to mimick your body language, eg - puts their arm
on the table straight after you do, it's also a good sign that they like
you.
6. Don't Be Quick to Judge on Appearances
If everyone were to be honest, and look at themselves in the mirror,
most of us would agree that we are not knock-outs like Angelina Jolie or
Brad Pitt.
If your dates were to judge you solely on your appearance, how much
interest do you think you'd get?
This is why it's really important to look at the real
person you're speaking with, not the shell on the outside. Look into their eyes, and look into their
real being. Are you comfortable with them, or do you feel uneasy? Do you
like their character? Would you like to spend a bit more time finding
more about them?
7. For Men - Give Compliments
Women love to be complimented, so compliment her on how she looks (if
you actually like how she looks). Don't overdo it, and try not to come
across as a pervert. Just keep it in mind that women like compliments.
