Visual Appeal & Attitude: Making An Excellent First Impression

It is the big night. You have paid your $25, and you're about to face a crowded room of singles who, like yourself, are searching for love. You'll get to go on seven-minute Speed Dates with ten of them, and hopefully leave with a phone number or two. Hopefully.

Wait one minute. We are going to turn that "hopefully" into an "absolutely". You are going to absolutely leave the Speed Dating session tonight with a few phone numbers. "But how?" you ask. With just a few little tips, that's how. Listen up.

Appearance

No matter how you examine it, the first minute of your seven minute date will be spent sizing each other up. Appearances might not mean everything in a relationship, but on Speed Dates they carry lots of weight.

If you have just met a guy, and your shirt clashes terribly with your pants, your hair is a mess, your deodorant is not working properly, and you have got big sweat marks under your arms, chances are he'll write you off in that very first minute.

To prevent this scenario, take some time prior to your Speed Dating session to choose some clothes that impress. As they say, "Dress for success." Wear something that looks neat and put together.

Attitude

If appearance isn't everything, then attitude definitely is.

Attitude is important in both personality and in body language. For example, don't slouch when sitting across from your date. Sit upright and confident. A confident person is desirable. They know what they want and go for it. Do not bite your nails, crack your knuckles, or yawn.

It's ok to be a little nervous, but do not let your nerves dominate the date. In the end, your date will remember cringing as you bit the skin off of your thumb.

Most importantly, go on the date with a smile plus a sense of humor. Let your date see that you're having fun. When you radiate a sense of excitement, humor, and happiness, your date will be attracted to that and want to see you again.

Eye contact is key, and show your date that he has your complete attention. Make them feel like they are the only person in that crowded room. You might want to give your date a compliment, but make sure it is just one. Overdoing the compliments could make you look insincere.

And remember: never, ever insult anyone or make fun of anything in the course of your date. You don't know the type of person your date is, and it could be that you somehow end up insulting them. Politics, religion, race, as well as other sensitive topics ought to be avoided at all costs. This is only a date and not a debate.

Have confidence. If you're that worried about what to talk about with your date, have some topics planned in advance of going. But do not make it sound like you're reading them off of a list. Let your conversation sound natural.

If anything is going to win your date over in the end, it is simplicity, politeness, sincerity, and a smile. Speed Dating is simplified dating. Do not complicate it. If you fail to find that unique connection, go online and try a free dating service. There are over 100 free dating websites online. Just search, "totally free dating."

With that said, good luck. Now get out there!
