Speed Dating Tips - Engineering Your Body Language to Succeed at Speed Dating

If you consistently return home with nothing to show for it after speed dating, this article will show you how to improve your body language with a set of 3 speed dating tips so as to help your chances of arranging a date. Body language is crucial to your image and the most important areas are your smile, eye contact and general body posture.

Many people neglect this as they do not want to come across as arrogant. However, it is perfectly okay to hold your head high and keep a confident smile on your face at all times. This will help you portray yourself as a confident person and this is often what people look out for in a partner.

This is especially useful during speed dating sessions when they need to make quick decisions and people will naturally choose the person who appears more confident than someone who doesn't. While your smile is important, maintaining eye contact is also critical.

Eye contact

Keeping eye contact is also recognized as one of the ways to appear confident. By maintaining eye contact, you are also trying to establish that you are a confident person. Looking down or breaking eye contact, on the other hand, tends to make you look nervous and jittery, or otherwise make you look like you have something to hide.

In a speed dating session, one good tip to heed would be to keep your eyes focused between the other person's two eyes. By doing this, you will look like you are keeping eye contact. Make sure your eyes do not wander or "check the other person out" because this taints your image.

Keeping "open"

Some people like to cross their arms when they talk to others. You may also be a "victim" of this effect. However, when you do this, you look as if you are impatient and this sends signals to their other person that you are uninterested, worsening your chances.

Thus, try to keep your arms at your sides during speed dating sessions while raising your hands to make gestures when you speak. This simple act will cause the other person to be more relaxed and encourage the person to acknowledge your presence.

I have just shown you the exact methods I use and employ to succeed. You have learnt to smile, keep eye contact and maintain an "open state" with your body. Now you have all the know-how you need to appear confident and have higher chances of scoring during speed dating sessions. I hope you have enjoyed this article and you can know go ahead and making a killing with the above techniques.
