The Key To Speed Dating
The key to speed dating is being honest and asking the right 질문 of your partner. What are some good speed dating questions?
The types of 질문 당신 ask depends on the type of person 당신 are and the type of person you’re looking for.
There are a few unique 질문 that I’ve had success with, and work no who 당신 are 또는 who you’re looking for. Start out with some of these 더 많이 generic 질문 before turning the conversation to your specific personality type.
“You’re cooking 공식 만찬, 저녁 식사 for a friend and 당신 burned the main course. What do 당신 do?”
This is a coy way of determining if your speed 날짜 is down to earth 또는 a wound-up manic type of person.
“If 당신 could travel to your own past and correct a mistake you’ve made, would 당신 do it?”
This 질문 avoids asking about the specific mistake and instead will give 당신 a general idea of the person’s attitude toward life.
“Who was your hero as a child?”
This 질문 can tell 당신 더 많이 about a person than it might seem — 당신 may find out that someone is a religious fanatic, 또는 that they have a political leaning that 당신 don’t share. 당신 may also find that this 질문 leads to other interesting questions, 또는 can really break the ice if someone is nervous.
speed-dating-questionsOnce you’ve asked a couple of generic information gathering questions, it would be wise to begin probing for your specific likes and dislikes. For example, if you’re an intellectual type, and are only interested in dating people with similar mental pursuits, tailor your 질문 to that end.
“What is the last book that 당신 read?”
“What newspapers 또는 online news sites do 당신 follow?”
“Who is your 가장 좋아하는 philosopher?”
These kinds of 질문 will let your potential 날짜 know that 당신 are interested in smart partners, and could filter out many potential bad dates well in advance.
If you’re the adventurous type, ask 질문 along these lines:
“If 당신 had a roundtrip ticket to any exotic location in the world, where would 당신 go?”
“What is an extreme sport you’ve always wanted to try?”
“If 당신 could be 로스트 in the desert, the rainforest, 또는 at sea, which would 당신 choose?”
If the person you’re speed dating has no answer 또는 seems disinterested, they may not be willing to 카약 with 당신 on the weekend, 또는 visit a wartorn country that’s perfect for off the map snowboarding. 당신 can decide then and there that they’re too boring for you.
Say, for instance, that you’re looking for long term love, not a flash in the pan romance. Get to the point 의해 posing 질문 that relate to lasting relationships.
“What are your feelings on marriage?”
“Do 당신 tend to be monogamous?”
“How many girlfriends/boyfriends have 당신 had in the last two years?”
The 답변 to these questions, and the reactions to them, will let 당신 know if the person across the 표, 테이블 from 당신 is in it for the long haul, 또는 just looking for a one night stand.
Besides asking the right kind of questions, preparing for a speed 날짜 will help 당신 in enjoying yourself on a speed dating expedition while simultaneously learning enough about someone to decide if 당신 want to pursue a 날짜 with them.
1. Prepare A List of 질문 Beforehand
If you’re worried you’ll “forget to ask the right thing” 또는 that you’ll run out of time before 당신 get the 답변 you’re looking for, there is nothing wrong with bringing a short list of questions, 또는 even shorthand reminders of questions, to help 당신 on the way. Preparing a list may even make 당신 더 많이 appealing to certain kinds of people, who will appreciate your ability to plan ahead.
2. Try For Originality
Remember that your speed dating partners are meeting many people in one night. The 더 많이 original your 질문 are, while still being specific and appropriate, the 더 많이 당신 will stand out among the crowd.
3. Relax And Have Fun
Speed dating, as with all dating, is supposed to be an enjoyable experience. If you’re too uptight, 당신 will be unattractive to most people.
