There were about 20 pairs. We sat face to face with an opposite gender, given 7 mins of talk time before the bell rang and the guys had to move on to the next table.

Basically, it was an impression marking system in place. How much could you gauge your prospect in just 7 mins?

To most, what was inherent on the list would be:

1. Physical Appearance

2. Voice

3. Body language

4. Dress sense

The 4 most commonly asked questions from the ladies would be:

1. What is your occupation? (To check career prospect)

2. What is your hobby? (To check lifestyle)

3. How many siblings do you have? (To check family background)

4. What countries have you been to? (To check financial status)

With these 4 KPIs in mind, i believe the ladies would have a good grasp of who they have in mind to shortlist.

As for what the guys have in mind, perhaps fellow gentlemen who have been to one might wish to enlighten me.

So, are you the kind who is suited for Speed Dating?

You would have to ask yourself 3 questions.

1. Do i have the X-factors?

2. Can I talk to strangers like nobody's business?

3. Could I happily write off $15-30 for a session and expect no match out of it eventually?

If you can say YES to all three, Speed Dating is for you.

If not, you can always attempt the SECRET PAL GAME at http://skybluz.com/col2.html , which is a Free Service.
