My friend's persuaded me to go speed dating with him (i'm male too) but i've never done it before. I've read some tips but they all seem artificial. Any tips how to greet, what to say, how to end things.

Smile and extend your hand to her while introducing yourself. Do this standing up before you sit. Ask questions about her. Be yourself. First impressions are important.
And, remember that the worst that can happen is that you will never see her again.

I've never tried speed dating, but it sounds fun. The only suggestions I have are to be yourself, maintain good eye contact, greet each date warmly, offer a handshake (as opposed to a hug), tell them your name, where you're from, have a couple of jokes memorized, decide in advance what questions you want answered, thank them at the end of each session for participating and offer a sincere compliment that you think they'll remember. Girls like compliments and there should be something about each date that you could comment on. You may want to develop a direct way to let a particular girl know that you would not be interested so as to not mislead and to avoid having to make up excuses later on. You may want to find out the 'rules' from the service prior to arriving. Good Luck

I went to one.. don't worry. You only get a few minutes with each one you meet. I thought the same things.. what to say,etc. but each time I found that it goes by so quick there is nothing to worry about. Think of what is important to you. .like do they have kids (is that ok). Do they work, doing what, etc. What do they with their time off.. so you know you are interested in the same things. I actually had a good time and met a few nice people. Keep in mind that they are all there for the same reasons you are. Just go with an open mind and have fun!!

I dont think speed dating is a good idea.What happened to the good old way of meeting people?I would find it quite embarrasing to be honest.I think if you were going to go down that road why not try a singles night at a local hotel?That way you get to talk properly to people and feel slightly more relaxed.I just find the whole idea of speed dating awful and false.If you look in your local paper there will be lots of listings for forthcoming events,including where singles nights are held,also look out for events that have a certain era of music going on for that night,and if its from your era then its guaranteed that the people who go will be from the same age group as you.Good luck anyway,hope you find love in the end!

I'd wait until Tuesday and if you don't hear by then, send an email to the speed dating organizers and ask what is up

I've never been speed dating but one thing I do know is, just be yourself. Put on no airs and graces and be something you aren't. Let your natural personality come through or women will see through all the bullshit. Be lucky

spent the time as a time to learn about people. Don't go into it with the objective to find you life dream. Just do it to get to meet people and use it as a time to grow yourself.

Smile and make brief eye contact and say hello. Ask each person the same question. Prepare one in advance.

Hi, my name is_______ . How are u 2day? That's probably all you'll get in. Women are great at one sided conversations. Just sit there and look all handsome, nod and smile. Good Luck!

Just be yourself, take it as a social event to get to know new friends. You will score better that way.
