What you need to consider before you decide to take this opportunity? Is this really the ideal place for you to meet someone?

Let me give you a little set up: most organizations to organize speed dating event under age groups, interests, even religion. You arrive at a bar, restaurant or community center with about 2 dozen other singles - half women and half men. You sign and receive a number and a map to take notes on the people you meet.

The pairs are affected, and you find the person for whom you will begin. Different organizations have time limits. The time spent together may range from 2 minutes to 10 minutes. After the first round, you move on series with a new partner. If you are interested in someone, you put their number on the card.

In the end, if people like them and put the other numbers on the map presented to the organizers, they receive from the other contact information so they can meet outside of the event. However, if a person makes a person and that person is not the same, no contact information is given.

Some advantages and disadvantages to consider whether you are aware that may you face this kind of perspective dating place.

Cons of Speed Dating :

1. How you decide to meet someone based on superficial things - it is natural to judge someone on appearance and first impressions. May you be turned off immediately and make no effort to reach deeper to know the soul of someone.

2. If you know you have no interest in someone, you still have to spend the rest of the time talking about him. This can be painful - especially if your partner does not have a conversation. Minutes can seem like hours.

3. You must submit to a release. What if you love someone and they do not like you back? Speed dating is not for the thin skinned person. Your inner critic will have a day if no one takes you.

4. May there be a cute guy in the room (okay, we can not help being superficial) And you are forever linked with him because of time constraints. May you never get a chance to meet him. It seems that the stars are conspiring against you and there was an opportunity lost.

5. No connections have been made, you feel like the evening was a waste of time and want to stay home that evening to watch Gray's Anatomy!

Yes, speed dating can be a disappointment but the good news is that there have been meetings with success at these events. I know a married couple who met in this way. I also had nice people to meet customers to date. This is the positive aspect of speed dating.

Pros Speed Dating :

1. You get to meet at least half a dozen people who are inclined to give you their attention for the time.

2. If you sit and relax, you can get an idea of someone, their behavior and petrol - either positive or negative. It is when it is useful to know how to read body language.

3. You know that most people are serious about meeting someone to date. Why someone else about this?

4. You can see if you can make a conversation with someone. You will know if there are common interests. May you not meet the love of your life, but you can find someone who could be a life long friend.

5. May you actually meet someone like that you consider dating. Now you're ahead of where you were when you walked in the door!

To get the most out of your experience of speed dating, come armed with a few tricks in your back pocket. As a conversation starter, have generic versions of these questions as a person, recreation, city or type of music they love. Tell a funny story about yourself. Have a glass of water or a drink to take a sip of the chamber during a break. Try to make eye contact and SMILE!
