Speed Dating

Speed dating occurs when people go to a speed dating
place looking for someone who might be a good match
for them. This includes a very quick meeting with many
different people and you see if there is someone there
who you might be compatible with.

Speed dating is when many women and men sit at tables.
A woman and a man will sit at each table for a
specified period of time. It may be two minutes or ten
minutes depending on the speed dating place you are
at.

During this period of time, the two will ask each
other questions and get to know a little about each
other. They have the opportunity to quickly get a run
down on each person and decide if they are someone
they might be interested in getting to know a little
better after.

When the time is up then the women or the men will
move to the next table and talk to another person.

After each of the couples have met and spoke to each
other they will give the numbers of the people or say
which people they are interested in. If both people
show an interest then they have the opportunity to
communicate and go out together.

During the speed dating process while couples are at
the table they may exchange information with each
other also, if they hit it off right away.

Speed dating is not for everyone but some people
really like meeting new people and finding a date this
way. Many people like this method because they get to
meet the people in person and talk with them rather
than online or by going on a blind date.

It is said that if there is chemistry between the two
people then it is immediately recognized during a
speed dating session.

Honesty Really is the Best Policy

An example of one of True's online ads.Image via Wikipedia
When you join an online dating service, you are looking for a girl that you can like…even come to love.  That girl is looking for a guy that SHE can like or even love.  What you aren’t looking for is a girl who would like your best friend or your idea of what the perfect guy looks like or talks like or thinks like.  So, in order to find the right girl for you…and she IS out there…you need to be completely honest with yourself about yourself when writing the online profile, during the dating process and beyond.

The best way to begin writing your profile is to carefully analyze your past relationship (s).  What was right?  What was wrong?  What things really made you like the last girl?  Which didn’t?  Don’t assume that just because you hated that your last girl was so totally self-involved that she couldn’t see anything else, you’ll be able to overlook that quality this time. You won’t. 

  If you aren’t 6’1” with a six-pack to be proud of, don’t claim to be.  If you are a bar tender, don’t claim to be a lawyer with a six figure income. If you are 40 going on 50, don’t pretend to be 30 something.

Remember, the idea here is to find a girl who will like you exactly like you are. If you have lied in your profile, the first face-to-face meeting will remove all her doubt that you are a liar…and probably a cheat, as well.  

Lastly, once you have found a girl that you believe can be the one for you, for goodness sakes, cancel your membership to the online dating service.  After all, you know and she knows that online dating services are intended for those who are looking…not those who have found or been found.
