1.
Dress in something that you feel comfortable in.
2. Each date last for
3 - 5 minutes, which can be a long time if you've run out of
things to say. It's a good idea to have a few questions up
your sleeve in case you dry up. However don't have a
prepared list of questions as it murders the spontaneity of
your short date.
3. Don't drink to
much. Everyone knows that a couple of drinks make you feel
relaxed, the problem is one to many drinks and what you may
think sounds cool will sound more like a drunken slur to
your date. Few people fancy a Drunk.
4. Food - Be careful
what you eat 24 hours before the event. A great Curry is all
very nice if your both eating it together, however be
advised that most of your short Dates will not appreciate
being blown off their seats by your Curry breath.
5, Do not ask for
anyone's number or personal details, if they want to see you
again you'll find out in the next 48 hours. If they don't
and you ask, then it will be embarrassing for you both.
Stick to the rules and not only will you have a less
stressful evening but your consequent dating will be
conducted in more relaxed and safe manner. See below for
safe Dating tips.
6. Do not tell lies -
Next time you meet that person it's going to be difficult to
explain why a NASA Astronaut lives in a 3 Bedroom Semi in
Taunton or how a Top Fashion Model drives around in a 5 year
old Fiesta.
7. Be yourself - You
like genuine honest people right! Well so does everyone
else. If a Romancing Dater wants to see you again and
you have been 100% genuine with them on the first mini date
then the chance of a successful relationship/friendship
developing are greatly enhanced.
8. Do not use
excessive swearing. The type of person that comes to a
Romancing speed dating event is not the type who will
appreciate this. We all, Men and Women alike find this
offensive.
9. Warning - Anyone
found conducting themselves in a manner which we the
organizers consider to be offensive or violent towards any
of our Daters will be asked to leave the venue and will be
banned from all future events. The pleasure and safety of
our Daters is our primary concern.
Dating Safety Tips
1. Meet in a public place
that that is familiar to you.
2. Never allow your
date to pick you up from your home.
3. Don't let your date
to make arrangements for your travel or hotel accommodation.
4. Always have a
friend to call on if you need help. Always let them know
where you're going and what time you expected to be back.
Call them to let them know you are all right and happy.
Leave details of the person you are going to meet.
5. Consider going on a
double date with some of your friends, or going as part of a
group of people you both know. Not only a safe option, but
this also gives you an insight into what kind of life your
date currently leads.
6. Remember, when you
meet someone for the first time (even though you have met
them at a Romancing Dating function previously) they
are still a stranger.
7. Don’t accept a lift
home if you feel uncomfortable about it.
8. Always have a
contingency plan for the unexpected so you can get away
quickly, and have someone close by you can call on.
9. Take a mobile phone
with you – and make sure it is fully charged, working and
has enough credit to make calls.
10. It can take time to
get to know someone properly. A person who is truly
interested in you won’t mind if you want to take your time
in a relationship.
11. Impostors and
liars can be found anywhere, Speed Dating events are no
different, Romancing has information on all our
Daters and we will refuse anyone who we are not happy with.
However taking the simple Dating precautions above will give
you a far greater peace of mind.
12. Always use your
common sense, keep in control and don’t be forced into doing
something you wouldn’t normally do.
13. And don't forget -
Whatever your reasons for attending a Romancing
Dating event, whether it be to find love or simply new
friends - The main thing to remember is to have some FUN!!!
