SPEED DATING TIPS FOR MEN

Look the Part

At Fast Impressions we go to extraordinary lengths to provide our guests with a sophisticated, quality service. Attention to detail is everything. We only use the best and most appropriate venues, the quality of the food and drink is exceptional and our hosts are highly trained and experienced facilitators. In this sort of environment you want to look your best, so dress up smartly and look the part!

Laugh and the World Laughs with You

People love being around charismatic people because they seem to spread good feelings. Get yourself into the right state for making a fast impression and go for it. Feel good about yourself and others will feel good about you.

Concentrate on the Conversation, not on Getting a Second Date

Most women want to know what kind of person you are before deciding whether or not they'd like to see you again. Make an effort to get to know her too… you'll make a better fast impression that way. One of the most frequent mistakes people make is that they dominate a conversation - remember, it's not all about you!

Give GENUINE Compliments - but not too many!

There's nothing worse than someone giving out a load of overblown lines but everyone has something great about them, notice that and compliment them genuinely.

Keep Your Hands to Yourself and Respect Their Space

Some people are known as 'space invaders'. Even when engaging in a casual chat they just seem to get too close. Some women have no objection to 'touchy feely' encounters, others are horrified by it. Respect the person until you have figured out more about her. Touching can be an effective, flirty action, but should be confined to the arms or resting the hand just above the arms and NOT touching, until you know more.

Be Yourself

There's no point assuming a role you think someone wants you to play because you'll get found out sooner or later. Be proud of who you are and if you aren't sure how you are at your best, you might want to do some work on it.

Dress Code

The dress code for most Fast Impressions events is smart, stylish and sophisticated. If you’ve got it covered then you’re good to go, but if you’re unsure then here are some tips:

• A stylish collared shirt with dress pants is a great look for a date.

• If you're coming straight from work, you're fine in a suit, but select a high quality shirt.

• Your clothes and shoes should be in excellent condition, and please make sure your clothes are ironed.

• Consider your accessories. Smart cufflinks or a stylish belt will make your outfit look more polished.

• If jeans are part of your look then make an effort to add some flair to your outfit, please don’t just wear jeans and a T shirt.

• Please don’t wear joggers.

You can be sure that the ladies will be all glammed up and looking great, so please make an effort and dress to impress!
