With just minutes to make a great impression on a load of strangers the pressure is on!

How are you going to be remembered? You don’t just want to be a grey mass that nobody really remembers – you want to be the one that everyone enjoys being with and therefore the one spoilt for choice at the end of the night.

So how can you create a lasting impression when speed dating?

• Wear something that gives you confidence as well as colour! Find out the colours that suit your skin tone for free here

• Have a couple of drinks beforehand to relax and give you confidence… but don’t go crazy, nobody likes a pisshead!

• Use open body language – read my articles on body language here… they will set you in good stead for indicating if you like someone and telling if they like you

• Have an idea of the questions you want to ask but don’t just recite them or read them off a card…. That’s weird!

• Always maintain the gaze of the person sitting across from you, if you like someone your eyes will widen… it’s a strange feeling but you’ll know and so will they subconsciously!

• Look sharp – make sure you look good. Get a hair cut, have a shave, wear a flattering shirt… you know the drill. The better you look the better you’ll perform!

• Give compliments to people you like. A compliment in this scenario goes a long way. Remember that they also are looking for a partner and will feel immense satisfaction that someone has noticed that they look good

• Keep smiling… even if you don’t fancy them! A smile is a hugely attractive thing.. use it!
