What is Speed Dating With True Dating?

Have you been trying to meet someone for some time but not having the intended results? 75% of attendees at True Dating's speed dating events receive a match, and more than half receive two or more. This is why booking a place with True Dating is a safe and trustworthy way to meet eligible singles in London.

Why Speed Dating?

We understand that you don't have time to waste and that going on many unsuccessful dates can be draining and get repetitive, that' s why we bring large groups of people together for an all-in-one, under-one-roof speed dating event. Rather than wasting time conversing, arranging to meet, and travelling to and from individual meetings, you can instead, quickly determine what you think of 10-20 singles within just a few hours.

Is Speed dating Better Than Online Dating?

Speed dating is very different than online dating. If you find it easier to determine if you have a connection with someone through face-to-face contact, speed dating is likely to be a far more effective - and faster - process. It's also much safer as you know exactly who you're speaking to unlike on many dating apps.

Is Speed Dating Still Popular?

While everything appears to be going digital, some things will always be best done in person, and dating is one of them. Thus, speed dating continues to gain popularity, and with so much of our time spent online, many individuals would rather attend an event than spend every evening (and day) hooked to a screen.

Speed dating will allow you to meet many people in one night. If you're looking to make a connection with someone special, than you'll be able to meet up with many singles who you might have that spark with. You'll be given usually between 4-5 minutes per date, to talk and get to know each person. Having a limited amount of time with each person may seem challenging, especially if you're worried about making a good first impression and giving your date an accurate impression of yourself. But actually in this brief time it's more than possible to establish if there is any chemistry with someone.

Once your time is up with each date, you will be asked to move to the next table, to begin your date with the next person. The process repeats itself until you have had time with everyone of the opposite sex. There are sometimes specific speed dating events for different subgroups and every event has an age range specified.

Unlike a singles night, where everyone mingles, a speed dating event is meticulously prepared and led by one of True Dating's dedicated hosts. There is no awkward waiting about, unsure of who to speak with.

4 Tips For A Successful Speed Dating Experience With True Dating

Speed dating can be a very successful method for meeting attractive and interesting singles. But how do you maximise it, so that you increase your chances of it being successful for you in particular?

Bear in mind that you will be meeting a large number of people in a short period of time. Avoid repeating yourself or making identical jokes to each of them. If you're overhead, it will appear insincere. Change things around a bit - at least till they're a good several seats away. It's also important to keep in mind that some participants attend these gatherings with friends of the same gender. They may chat later, and you don't want to be discovered using the same phrase on all of them.

1: Don’t Just Talk, Listen.

Don't just take the stage and talk the whole time, it's important to let your date speak too. It may seem counterintuitive, given our natural desire to impress others with clever comments or bragging about our accomplishments, yet simply remaining silent can sometimes speak louder than words. Demonstrate your interest in what he or she is saying by maintaining eye contact, smiling, and responding non-verbally.

2: Think of Interesting Questions.

At a True Dating speed dating event, you'll have 4-5 minutes with each date. This is a perfect timeframe for learning about them and developing any rapport. We've discovered that asking big questions helps break the ice and uncovers information about their personality. You'll be meeting a lot of people on the night so answering the same question over and over again won't be much fun. Be that one date that suprises and intrigues their date and you're much more likely to be remembered.

3: Be True To Yourself.

It is never a good idea to misrepresent youreself during a speed dating event. If the date were to continue further, then your partner would find out that you weren't truthful, which is a sure fire way to end a potential relationship before it's even begun. Being honest about yourself and your life is very important. Telling lies to try and impress your date may get you a yes tick, but in the long run is not the right way to find a romantic partner.

The purpose of speed dating is to find someone that you will match up well with in the real world. If you can't be honest, then you're not going to find that no matter how succesful you might be at the event. Be brave and try and be confidnet that there are people who are going to love you, the real you, for who and what you are. Everyone is looking for something different so never assume you need to be something you're not to find true love.

4: Go Beyong Superficial Conversations.

It's a good idea for you to try and go deeper than simply finding mutual interests or what your dates star sign is. Of course speed dating is supposed to be fun and light-hearted so intense questions that put your date on the spot aren't needed. But you may want to have a short conversation about what your date is looking for in a partner or what made them want to try speed dating in the first place. Something that shows that you're there for more than just hooking up or because you had nothing better to do.

If you still think speed dating is the right choice for you, book a place on one of True Dating’s speed dating events today and hopefully find your perfect match!
