Have you tried, or considered, Speed Dating, or any of the other versions out there? You might think the whole thing is ridiculous, but believe it or not, it's a lot of fun. I had thoughts of the scene in 40 Year Old Virgin in my head, but truth be told, it was nothing like that. Lucky for you, I have some tips that will help you in your endeavors.
You'll want to take care of a few things before you walk out that door though. To start, your hygiene should be tip top. You are making an impression in a short time, so it will be scrutinized even harder than normal.
Clean yourself up, trim your nails neat, clip that nose hair. But once it is done, when you are ready to walk out that door, be DONE with it, save for a pack of mints for the dating itself.
The same thing goes for your clothing. Clean obviously, but dress to impress. I wouldn't go too showy, just make yourself look good. Polish your shoes, hit the jacket with the lint brush, and take care of any details.
Another thing to do is practice before you go. Not just some lines, or routines, but spontaneity. How does one practice that? By saying what immediately comes to mind when having a conversation. That sounds crazy, I know, but practice with a friend. The result is that you sound more genuine. Put in a bit of time with this, it'll help.
I tried something new lately - using the first date to warm up. Luckily, she wasn't beautiful, and it allowed me to make as many mistakes as necessary to get in a groove. The rest of the evening got much easier. I also found it was great, because I tried it when I was out of town, and it allowed me to get a feel for the women in a new area. I went to an 8 Minute Dating in Edmonton while out on business, and landed a really easy date with a beautiful woman.
Another great thing to do, after this, is to really amp up the positive energy. It'll be infectuous and you'll make a great impression. People are more likely to remember you if you made them feel good.
When you do that, you'll also be able to take advantage of the other guy's mistakes. Trust me, they'll make a lot. The biggest is being uptight and nervous. If you can avoid that, you'll look like a million bucks after they've dealt with some nervous, twitchy, uncomfortable guy. It helps when you smile while doing this, and relax. You'll allow them to do the same, and fun will happen!
During the conversation, you'll do far better if you show genuine interest in them, but as well, be ready to carry the conversation when they ask you a question. A good conversation should be back and forth, and neither side should feel drilled.
Also, make sure not to drink too much. This will blow your chances faster than anything. If they wanted a drunk guy, they'd hit a slum bar and do just fine. Don't be that guy.
When the time is about to run out, and you are having fun, go ahead and "close" with her. Let her know you had a great time, and that you'd love to continue the conversation. If she appears to be having fun, it should be very easy to get the next date with her.
When Speed Dating, it's all about making that great impression in a short time, and allowing fun to happen, no matter how brief it is. Work with what I've given you here and you should do very well.
