I'm going to a speed dating event this weekend and was wondering if anyone has any tips or experiences with this.

It's fun. Make sure you wear something flattering but not slutty. If you want a man to take you seriously, then you'll have to dress modestly (but don't go in wearing a Jilbab and veil, unless you are Muslim, LOL.) Go in to have fun. Don't expect to know if someone would be a great lifemate for you. Just talk the few minutes you are given and move on. Take notes. Especially if it is a guy you might be interested in. I wrote down names and a brief description of each guy between meetings-- and if the next guy in line sits down while you're still writing notes and hasn't said hello, just make sure he isn't on the list of people you want to get to know better.
Remember, this is supposed to be fun. If you go in expecting fireworks, you will be disappointed. This is just a way to meet single guys who are interested in meeting eligible women. You don't even have to choose anyone to get to know better if they were all duds. So, just go in expecting to have fun meeting new people. You're under no obligation to get to know any of them better.
Also, even if you choose a guy who didn't choose you, don't be disappointed. Likely he is looking for a specific type. You'd rather NOT spend your time with a guy who will eventually not be interested in you. So, if you select a guy who doesn't select you, count it as a blessing.

Friends of ours have gone speed dating few times. Be yourself and have an idea of what you would like in a partner, that way you won't waste any time with the wrong ones. All the best.

Man, that was fun! You are going to have a blast!
Get the other people to talk about themselves, likes, foods, events, etc... before you know it, you will be invited to go places with all sorts of people.
When forced to talk about yourself, keep the answers short, honest and vauge. Specific answers are for one on one dating after trust has been established.
This is the hard part. You have to have a good screening process.
Good luck.

Ask questions that will make a difference to you 5 years into any relationship without seeming overbearing. For instance:
Do you see yourself relocating?
What makes you happy?
What pisses you off?
If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?

I have never been, but I heard its alot of fun, and a great way to meet more then one guy (obviously if your at a bar and talking to a guy, someone else isn't going to come up to you and start talking) I have always wanted to try one myself, just to see what its like...My only advice is to just be yourself. Give him the essential info, but make sure to make time for him to tell you about him...Good luck, and have fun!

What is speed dating? If it involves strangers, then you are in trouble.

Yes...the jocks and prep's usually don't have alot of money. The geeky nerd ones are the rich ones.

Why the heck would you "Speed Date"? What is "Speed Dating"? It sounds like, wrong.
