Eeek. Not sure what’s making me tell you to go. Oh, don’t mind me — it’s just brought about by my own not-so-good speed dating experience. Heh.

My cousin did a little shout out about the event:

The next speed dating event by Six Degrees is on Saturday, September 9, 2006, 7:00 to 10:00 pm at 10/F Somerset Millenium, 104 Aguirre Street, Legaspi Village, Makati. Interested? Visit their website or call +63-917-853-8168.

If you’re interested, I suggest that you brush up on your people skills cuz it’ll be a roomful of blind dates. And ask yourself if you’re aware of the top speed date questions to help you snag a 2nd date with a gorgeous guy or two.

I hope you have a good one!

Speed Dating Event in Manila

You’re given a certain amount of time to get to know an X number of guy or girl participants and make a decision if you’d be interested to see them again.

Based from experience, I was only given 5 minutes each and there were 25 guys, so do the math! Since it was my first time, I thought there wasn’t enough time to make a proper decision so it turned out a disastrous experience for me. However, I’ve learned that if you make use of the right questions to aid you in making the right decision then it won’t be as terrible as mine was.

Apart from getting the name, top 5 questions that I’ll be asking are [not in particular order]:

• 1. If you are to go out with friends or on a date, where will you go?

  I want to establish whether if he’s an extrovert or an introvert. I want to know if he’d hang out in places where I like to hang out. And it somehow tells me just how secure he is with himself. Don’t you find a guy who’s an individual so attractive?

• 2. What are your hobbies or what do you do for fun?

  I like someone who has a life. I want to know whether I can learn something new with this person if I am to see him again. I’m sure you’d agree that it’s no fun to date a boring person, right?

• 3. Have you traveled much? If yes, where? If not, do you plan to?

  I love traveling and if I am to date a guy, he has to share the same passion for adventure. The relationship will not work if I keep flying off to exotic locations and he gets left behind, now will it?

• 4. I’ll ask a leading question that can determine his relationship with his parents and the rest of his family. This will depend on the flow of the conversation.

  What can I say? Personally, I believe that a guy’s relationship with his family reflects his true character. Family is important, don’t you agree?

• 5. What’s your reason for participating?

  Of course, I don’t want to hook up with someone who’s desperate, they tend to be the stalker-type. Ha. And I’m curious to know, is all. Hahaha. Wouldn’t you be?

I’ve chosen these questions because it can provide me with important traits of the individual and weigh it with mine, to come up with a decision. I’ve limited the questions to 5, granted that it can be answered in less than a minute each since he needs to ask me a few himself.

Now, it’s your turn. If you’re in the position to go on a Speed Dating event, what will your questions be?

Top Speed Date Questions

Gayla told you about my Speed Dating experience before and they’re the one who organised the event. Neil was a good host and he was pretty friendly and helpful. I went alone but he made me feel “at home” which I really appreciated.

It’s scary to go venture into something that’s totally unfamiliar to my customs or beliefs but this experience allowed me to meet a lot of people — 25 guys if you want to get technical. Imagine, I can actually say that I dated 25 guys in one night? Hehehe. And I did meet women and the owner of the cafe, too! It’s a great opportunity for you to expand your network, I tell you. Doors of opportunity may just open for you, aside from improving your lovelife, think — business opportunities or friends!

So, if you’re in Adelaide, and considering to give Speed Dating a go, contact Neil or Rachel. I’m sure they’ll answer any question you may have. The next event is scheduled on the 17th of May 2006 at The Loft in Sky City. Remember — anything’s possible.
