Questions to Ask When Speed Dating

Posted by admin on July 9, 2008

Speed dating is a great fun to do. This type of dating is more a social interaction then the actual romantic stuff. Many people just love this open dating style provided by the speed dating competitions.

One feels a lot of hesitation before going in the speed dating contests. The core issue is the type of questions one should ask from his “short-term” date. In speed dating, every one has a short time to converse with each of the other participants of the event. The time allocated to interact with each other can be as short as a minute or a maximum of ten minutes. It’s impossible to get to know each other in such a short span of time.

Here lies the key, as you move from person to person, you should take notes or have some other way in which to record your preliminary impressions of the people you’ve met. You can have a chance of socializing with them later on.

One should ask simple and brief questions during these short interactions. You can ask about the other person’s name, age, interests etc. Asking very personal questions like e-mail, phone number or address is considered too unruly for speed dating sessions. One must ask basic questions and that too rather quickly.

As you move from one table to another during the speed dating, it’s possible that you repeat the same questions for other potential dates. Well there is no harm in it but it would look better if you ask different questions from different people. There are plenty of questions you can ask like favorite color, season and so on and so forth. Also never forget to jot down the important aspects of each date as it will make easier the process of actual dating, if your scores match.
