To some, it may sound more stressful than exciting but there are easy ways of getting over your fear of meeting potential dates at the same time.
Don`t Be Tardy
In order to participate at a speed dating event, you must be there on time. These functions are organized with timers and they have to make sure there are an even number of men to women. You don`t want to be the tool that ruined the organized event, now do you?
Bring Friends!
If you`re afraid of suffering from social anxiety, always bring your friends as backup. Not only will you have your buddies there to calm you down, you will be able to have fun in a safe and fun environment.
Be Prepared
Have at least ten ice breaker questions ready so you don`t run out of things to say to new and exciting strangers. Put your new tag on and grab a cocktail to calm your nerves. The more prepared you are, the more confident you will appear.
Remember Your Manners!
People still to this day need to be reminded to put away their phones on dates and you should remember to not only put it away, but to put it on silent as well. Also remember to keep eye contact, smile and remember your date`s names.
Happy Speed Dating! Good Luck!
