Dating
is in the
numbers
So you say
that you’ve
tried it all
from blind
dates to online
dating and
still nothing
has worked?
I say that’s
rubbish! The
first rule
of thumb is
that dating
is a numbers
game. The
Rule of Averages
can be applied
to dating
in that the
more people
you contact
the better
the chances
of finding
a mate. So
if you contact
100 people
you are more
likely to
find someone
to date versus
just contacting
10 people.
Speed Dating
is the perfect
place to meet
many people
in a short
period of
time.
Speed Dating
is actually
a relatively
new concept.
The practice
was actually
first introduced
as a way for
Jewish individuals
to meet one
another in
1998. |
The
first Speed
Date event
was hosted
by Rabbi Yaacov
Deyo of Aish
HaTorah at
Pete’s
Café
in Beverley
Hills. The
concept became
widely known
on an episode
of Sex and
the City in
2000. Today
speed dating
is practiced
all over the
world and
is responsible
for many successful
marriages.
The concept
of speed dating
is simple.
An organization
hosts an event
for 50-100
people at
restaurant
or place with
large accommodations.
Registered
daters fill
out a biography
and what they
are looking
for prior
to the event.
At the event
daters have
between 3-8
minutes to
go on a mini
date. After
the time has
expired the
daters switch
spots and
move on to
the next date.
After the
event is over
(usually multiple
hours) daters
fill out ratings
cards and
rate each
of their dates.
If both daters
feel there
is a match
then contact
information
is released
to both parties.
A scientific
study on speed
dating concluded
that first
impressions
were made
within 3 seconds
of meeting
someone. So
making an
excellent
first impression
is crucial
to success.
The chances
of being selected
on average
were 34% for
men and 49%
for women.
Those numbers
are pretty
good considering
in one evening
you might
meet 50 different
people. In
one night,
guys will
get 17 phone
numbers and
gals will
get 24.5 phone
numbers. Not
bad for a
few hours
of your time.
Tips for a
successful
Speed Date
1. Dress Nice-
Show up looking
classy. Not
like a bum
for the guys
and not like
a sorority
girl for the
women. Hold
off on strong
cologne or
perfume as
well.
2. Have Something
to Talk About-
It’s
pretty much
true that
we are all
very boring.
On a date
faking it
priority number
one. Before
the date prepare
some topics
of conversation
in your head.
Travel, Goals,
Music, Movies
are all good
topics. The
best thing
to do is ask
a lot of questions
and follow
up questions.
People generally
love to talk
about themselves.
3. Be Playful-
Flirting usually
requires a
good deal
of teasing.
For some reason
the old playground
rules of youth
still apply.
Chasing girls
is good just
make sure
you don’t
push it too
far.
4. Remember
It’s
a Numbers
Game- You
will bomb
on some dates.
It’s
okay because
there are
plenty of
daters out
there. |
