Any advice for speed dating?

Think of it as practice; there is absolutely no pressure to find a match by the end of the night. You get to exercise those FDS muscles and make them stronger. Yay for that!

Remember that it's about you, not them. You are the main character in your life and they are auditioning for a role.

Notice how you feel and honour it.

That's all I can think of right now :)

My advice is to remember that you are generously giving men the ability to meet and impress you. Don’t feel like you need to “prove yourself” or be “charming” or whatever. Also, pay attention to your own energy and comfort in chatting with each man. Only entertain the idea of staying in touch with men who make you feel at ease in your initial chat. We have incredible intuition and a man who immediately makes you feel nervous or uncomfortable is a bad sign.

You should go to experience it at least once. My experience has been that it's the same men who go every time to meet new women. So if you do it more than once, you run into the same group of males. There's nothing to be nervous about. Just keep in mind there's a lot of losers that do speed dating, kind of like all the loser males that go to meet up groups.

I dont think you’ll find a quality guy there!

But it’s a good opportunity to practice fds in the real world.

I’ve actually always wanted to go to something like that but haven’t tired speed dating. I thought it looked kinda fun. You might meet a lot of losers but you never know I guess haha

I'm going to go against the grain and say I had a reasonable amount of success with speed dating. I went to several targeted events for professionals and you could only attend if you had a college degree and within a certain age range (they checked all of these things before you could register). The ticket prices were $100 so you knew you were meeting men that could afford this. The event was also designed that men had to initiate the conversation and were the ones that had to switch seats when the time was up.

The speed dating company also had a policy that if anyone was a dick towards you, you could report them and they would be removed from the event and banned from future events.

While I didn't meet the man of my dreams, it did lead to a few short term relationships (between 3 - 6 months) and I was treated far more respectfully then I ever was with online dating.

On the plus side, I did meet some girls there who I forged new friendships with and that opened up my social circle quite a bit (gratefully received as an introvert!).

My best advice is that it's just an avenue to meet new people, you will connect with some and not with others, but it is far more productive than swiping for hours on end.

Good luck!

Have fun and go in with no expectations. It's not uncommon to come away from those events with zero matches (this happens for both men and women). I've done some speed dating this year, and I had a few matches, but all have been LVM. It took more than 5 min for me to work that out though (that's how long the chats are - between 5 and 10min) so I ended up going on dates with the scrotes and this is where I discovered their low value. I suggest you view it as an opportunity to have a flirty fun night out with low expectations of finding a man, so if it does happen it's an added bonus. I've also heard of women becoming friends at these events - like actually forming FB groups afterwards and meeting up in person again.

Don’t. Seriously, it’s all losers holding women captive.

I'd love to hear an update! Please keep us posted.

I'm curious where one finds speed dating events. Google search?
