Going speed dating tonight with my friend for a laugh?

Anyone been before any tips on what we’re meant to do?
Have a nice day/night.

just chat as if you would if you met them on a night out, be yourself, and have fun. your usually given a few Min’s then the next one comes and so on until the end of the evening, you mark whether you want to have more contact with them, they do the same, if you get the same matches, you/they will be given contact numbers and take it from there.

I wouldn’t advise going just for a laugh – most people feel embarrassed and take it very seriously.
They are there to find someone special.
If you are not, i suggest you try a comedy show instead incase you are in need of a giggle.
Once you sit down and are face to face with someone you mostly just talk about the same things:
Name, age, job, likes, dislikes… then repeat yourself around the table and hopefully you will click with someone more than you do the others. -
please.. Says,
I want you Lynzy

I’ve went once. My advice to to make sure to plan some random thing to say if you want the other person NOT to be interested in you. Something that will make them not want to talk to you. I didn’t have that when I went, and ended up having this really ugly girl (sorry) eying me all night and butting into my conversations when she was sitting close by.

I have been a few times and it was really fun. I always liked being in a room surrounded by other single people. It feels like “everyone” in my life is either engaged or in a serious r’ship and suddenly I was with all these like minded people and it was great.
You don’t need to take it too seriously and I wouldn’t be nervous – it was really easy and everyone I met was really friendly.

I went speed dating once but on my own. I heard so much about it I thought why not. So I went and I gave my name met someone who i knew there as well. Anyway we all went into this room there were 20 women and 20 men. We just sat in the inside with the men going to each table. Then you tick the person as they go along but you dont show the other person your ticks. You wont know who auctually liked you until the next few days when they log on to the website and put there ticks in and if you get the same as someone else then you have mateched form there you decided wether you want to see them again. I met one guy from it but he want the one for me.

I’ve been 3 times. If you enjoy meeting people they can be fun but dont expect too much though.
The trouble I found was that although the people you meet seem nice and sincere, most of them are NOT actually serious about meeting anyone. Every girl that showed me interest or said they’d meet me again flaked out. They were just too chicken to go thru with it in which case should never have been there in the first place but that’s just women for you I guess. This is why I’d never do it again.
You ought to get a lot of attention there though. But dont go in thinking all the men there must be saddos, they’re generally just people like you and me. A few drinks to loosen up, it’ll help conversation flow.

Good luck! I’m sure you’ll be a hit. They didn’t have speed dating 40 years ago–everything was slower back then.
