    very easy as long as the stalkers don’t come out.

    Speed dating really is nothing more than an introductory service that gives you a few minutes to narrow your choices. Just ask a lot of questions and be prepared to answer a lot. Your answers will probably be more important than your questions.

    All you have to do is sit chatting to different people for 5-10 mins so it doesnt matter if you like them or not – surely you can make polite conversation for that long?

    Just because you sit in front of them doesn’t mean you have to sh*g them so stop being so wet and go and just chill out.

    You may just make friends or you may find someone you might like to date too.

    Its fairly normal in this day and age to use various means to meet people – if we all sat waiting for our Prince/Princess to arrive we would all be single!

    I tried speed dating a couple of times last year when i was single. The first time i went along with another single friend and it was fun. We didn’t take it too seriously and went with no expectations of meeting Mr Right. The second time i went on my own and found i was less confident and a lot more nervous but i still enjoyed it. So if you have a willing single friend then take them along too just for the support and someone to talk to during the interval if you really dont like anyone.

    You ll be given some kind of card or booklet so that at the end of each date you can mark wether you want to see them again as a date, friends or no thanks. It is confidential so no need to worry about offending anyone, the only people who see your scores are the organisers who will then only give your basic details ie email address to the people you ticked ‘yes’ to. Then its up to them wether to get in touch with no pressure.

    I think the norm for dates is 3 minutes which can either seem too fast or way too long depending on who your sat across from! I think the men automatically start the questioning and i was more interested in those who asked me unique things other than ‘whats your job’ ‘how old are you’ and ‘what are you interested in’ It’s worthwhile having some questions planned in your head before you go then you don’t feel as put on the spot when it starts. If someone asked me a really good question then i remembered it and used it to ask others.

    If you dont like anyone at the end then just leave, theres no need to hang around and no one will mind or notice (apart from the ones who like you lol)

    Just be yourself, be honest and no 1 rule is have fun!

    One way to improve your social skills around women is being confidence.

    I wrote a post on this, maybe you might be interested in it.
