slimsid2000 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I'm going to a speed dating event in a couple of week's time but am not really sure what sort of things to say or questions to ask the girls there. Â Does anybody have any (serious) suggestions as to what sort of things would help make a good impression? Â Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottf Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 "on the first date do you f..........." nah actually ill scrub that one!!! Â Ask them about themselfs- what do they do, what they like- do you have any common interests?? thats the kind of stuff that will make you like each other- not just the physical attraction.

dawny1 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Becareful not to come across like you are interrogating them by firing rapid questions. Â Obvious questions are career and interests. It would be good to try to think of something original because they will probably have been asked that by every other bloke there. I'm sure someone will come up with suggestions. Â Keep eye contact - don't be tempted to wander down to the cleavage. Â Don't do toilet humour. Â Look as though you are interested in what the lady is saying. Â Be polite but not smarmy. Â Above all relax - they are probably just as nervous as you. Â Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick2 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Try not to be to effeminate, you don't want to attract the wrong attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 My girlfriend thinks it would be funny for her to go along as a joke with some of her friends... so please some suggestions to make sure nobody wants to steal her off me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawny1 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Originally posted by scottf even better  BE interested in what they are saying!!!!  Not always possible though!!  I hope no-one does go to these things as a joke it seems cruel to poke fun of people who are just wanting to find someone.  If I wasn't lucky enough to have found someone I would go to something like this I think it's an excellent idea.

jackthedog Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I should imagine your first question should be: Â You don't smoke do you? Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmwalker Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 the questions my mate used to look into other poeples minds were: badgers or squirrels? salt and vinegar or ready salted and another i cant remember, Â she carefully wrote down all the responses, but then couldnt remember who was who as she hadnt written anything else about the blokes (looks, job, characteristics...!) Â good idea in principle, but may need some work....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy_Smith Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Whatever you do DON'T say you are a tax advisor. I went to one of these events once and I'd say about about half the guys were tax advisors! Made me think something funny was going on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
