Do go with a friend. You can be apprehensive in the cab together and share stories on your way home.
-
Don’t tell many people you’re going speed-dating; they’ll all want to know how it was after and, if it was crap, you’ll find yourself retelling the same story over and over, each time fashioning it in a more negative and depressing light. And you’ll resent going more than you already did.
-
Don’t get drunk!
-
Do have low expectations. That way, anything better is a bonus!
-
At the same time: Do be positive. No one likes a Moaning Myrtle.
-
Don’t go home with someone. This is meant to be speed-dating not speed-fucking.
-
Do write notes about your date when you’ve finished. It’s difficult to distinguish between Tom, Dick and Harry when you’ve only had 5 minutes with each person and the whole evening becomes a blur.
-
Don’t lose your matches sheet! You definitely won’t remember the difference between Tom, Dick and Harry the next day.
-
Do go. It’s another experience.
Any I’ve missed?
