Avoid that conversation
We have all been on dates that haven’t exactly rocked our world. The evening draws to a close and they ask that dreaded question – can we do this again? Speed dating answers that awkward question for you quite simply and without face to face contact!
|
you'll feel like a brick in a wall
do you know the feeling of working out in the gym while everybody around you seemed to do the same moves and you feel so unspecial and even robotic in a way?
it should be much of the same feeling when speed dating. i encourage you to be more spontenuous and more natural, talk to your nice collegue you always dreamt of, it's much more interesting, i guess.

Adrenalin
Remember that buzz you get when you first meet someone you spark with? The butterflies frantically fluttering those wings inside? Well, potentially, you can have more than one of those feelings a night – the clean version of the multiply orgasm!
|
Stranger danger
Although face to face contact is a key attribute to speed dating, there is still an air of uncertainty here. At the end of the dates, you pick your favourites and if the feelings are reciprocated then comes the potential of a ‘real’ date. Here lies the danger. You will be meeting someone who you have known for 180 minutes and who knows if they were a truthful three minutes? Always let friends or family know where you’re heading and keep your phone to hand.

Anonymity
Lacking in confidence? Then use this and reinvent yourself. Ever seen Sex and the City where Miranda speed dates? Selling herself as a flight attendant, she gets to explore a whole new side of her, a sexual and fun side.
|
Pressure to impress
As with all dating, there is an element of pressure for both parties. The ticking clock of speed dating however ups the tempo considerably. It’ll take you say 30 seconds to decide if you like your date, then after you realise this, you suddenly go nervous, and by now you’ve only got 2 minutes left to impress. Panic stations – and suddenly you become the bore, the egotist!

Take your pick
How many other dating options do you know that promote promiscuity?! Speed dating gives you the opportunity to chat to a larger offering of people and then lets you choose as many as you want at the end of the night. Sluttiness is far from condemned!
|
Ignorance is bliss?
Three minutes to find some glimmer of potential. Some people you write off immediately – too arrogant, too boring. But speed dating does not let you delve beneath the surface – maybe they are just so nervous, this overconfidence is just a mask. Maybe promising dates are being overlooked.

Timing
Worse case scenario, the person opposite isn’t your type. They may scarily resemble an ex, have a breath problem or just bore you more than watching paint dry. But hey relax; it’s only for a few minutes. Least your whole evening isn’t based on this one odd ball!
|
Risky business
There is someone who you really thought you sparked with. The results are in but they haven’t ticked your box. And that is the end of the matter.

Competition
You meet someone. They are attractive, seem funny and people do placing you are in direct competition for your potential suitor.
