Do you want to be the one man every woman want to meet again?
I read in a forum today…
“Later this week I’m going to my 2nd-speed dating event (1st was 3 years ago) and I’m trying to figure out how to handle the opening question and my overall mindset.
It says dates like 4-7 minutes so that’s not a lot of time to talk to someone.
What I remember from 3 years ago is that it was like an assembly line, with everyone was asking the other person’s name and then saying “Hi, I’m Bob, nice to meet you”.
Then they’d ask”where are you from?”, “what do you do for work?” or “What do you do for fun”. I felt like the women all had scripted answers to these questions and just went off of autopilot and I definitely don’t want to ask any of those.
On the internet, there are tons of suggested questions, but right after asking her name what would be something good to say? As I posted 3 years ago I can’t come right and say “my name is Max3732.
If you had to have dinner with a famous person from history who would it be and why?”
It’s just too jarring and unnatural for me.
So what would be a good 1st question just to break the ice to try to get her to want to see me again?
After we start talking I can pull out one of the questions from the internet or just go with the flow of the conversation.”

Never go with the flow of the conversation unless you are controlling it.
I always thought speed dating was a fascinating event even though I never gotten a chance to try one.
It’s like the ultimate place for guys looking for a date in which the women are too.
You just have one job to do and that’s get her interested enough in you to put your name on the paper of who she would like to meet again.
So how do you do that?
I’m sure all the guys there go to the internet for opening questions and what to say in a limited time that they have with these women.
I was curious and decided to do a little research myself, so I went to google and type in “opening questions for speed dating,” clicked on the first option and here are a few of the questions they gave me and the reason for asking them.
1. What makes you happy/sad/angry? (Find out more about your date)
2. What did you do last weekend? (Finding out about your date hobbies and interest)
3. What would you take with you on a desert island? (Fun speed dating question)
4. If a movie was made about your life, who would you want to play you? (Offbeat questions to help break the ice)
These are not bad questions to ask at a later time when you already dating her, it’s horrible and very cliche when you are at the table with her.
Of course, they go on autopilot because every man there is asking the same damn question.
There is no personality, everything is scripted and you probably sound like a freaking robot.
It makes you seem like a complete fraud.
So if you are going to try speed dating then please don’t go ask google, you would be wasting your time attending.
If you want to do something unorthodox that she has never seen, while being yourself, getting her interested in your personality and still finding out what you need to know about her.
