First impressions count.  Make an effort with how you look for speed dating.  We recommend smart casual.

Arrive in plenty of time to allow you to park your car, order and drink and relax before dating begins.

Think about what you want to say on the dates.  Keep it light hearted.

Don't do all the talking.  Ask questions and allow the other person to talk.

Avoid talking about your ex and politics 

Turn off your phone or pop it on silent during the dating - be respectful

Relax.... it's just a 5 minute drink and a chat.  Everyone there is in the same boat.

Confidence is attractive - talk about things that make you happy 

Fine something attractive about the person..... nice eyes? Beautiful smile? Tell them!  Everyone enjoys a compliment 

Use the dating card provided to make notes to help you remember who you have chatted to.

At half time and after the dating, thank people for the date and leave a good impression

If you match with someone, don't be shy - make the first move!

Happy dating x
