In dating for the first time, first impressions can last a lifetime… mayhap because you will never get to correct a wrong impression. More so in speed dating where couples are given several minutes to get to know each other. Here are several speed dating tips guaranteed to make an impression that will last a lifetime… together.

Looks, Looks, Looks

While the adage, beauty is skin deep, is certainly true, nobody will dare deny that looks are also important especially in the initial stages of dating. One of the classic speed dating tips is to look your best. Dress appropriately and cleanly. Nothing beats good grooming in speed dating. Make sure that you have also gotten the dress code right. Showing up in a sexy number when the event is actually just smart casual can ruin your chances. If you are unsure, ask the organizers what people usually wear. They sure have a lot of speed dating tips to share as well.

Smile

This is one of the speed dating tips that never fails to work. Smiling not only brightens up your face and makes you even more beautiful; it will also make you more approachable and comfortable to be with. People instantaneously relax in the presence of people who are happy.

Eye contact.

Another one of those speed dating tips that you should not leave without, eye contact not only shows that you are interested but also that you are a genuine and interesting person. People are more attracted to people who look at them straight in the eye when they converse.

Be interesting

People often make the mistake of taking this and other similar speed dating tips literally. Being interesting does not mean that you’ll act as though you just came from another dimension or dominate the conversation until your date has gotten to know how “interesting” you are. Strive to know more about your date. Be interested. You’ll be more interesting that way.

Stock up on possible questions

There is nothing wrong in coming there in full-battle gear. Be prepared with a list of possible questions. There is no worst way to end a speed dating conversation than in silence.

Don’t overdo the compliments

While it’s good to say nice things, overdoing the compliments may mean certain death on the date. Overcomplimenting comes across as insincere, even if you truly are. It will also make you appear desperate and needy. This is one of the speed dating tips that you should not not remember!

Be yourself

The advice be yourself has probably been included in hundreds of speed dating tips articles in the land but still, people do not seem to get it right. While there is no point in pretending someone you are not, that does not mean that you have to show your date your whole self, including the worst part. Be yourself but be your best self.

Don’t be a space invader

There are people who are just plain claustrophobic when it comes to touch. Remember not to invade another person’s personal space, as this is a major faux pas in speed dating. Be sensitive. If you feel that your date is uncomfortable with your touch, don’t get too close.

Don’t exchange personal info

One of the rules in speed dating is to not give any personal info. If you two are genuinely interested in each other and check each other in the list afterwards, the speed dating organizer will make sure that you two hook up again.
