SACA (Student Association for Campus Activities) is hosting a Speed Dating event for all of those who would like to come and anyone that is single for Valentines Day.
The rules of speed dating are quite simple. A group of singles gathers at a cafe or similar venue. Armed with a nametag, a scorecard and their sparkling personality, couples are paired up to begin their first date. They are allowed to discuss anything, except their careers, or where the live.
Following seven minutes of conversation, a bell is rung, and the men move on to meet their next date. Think of it as a flirt's version of musical chairs.
Following each date, participants mark on a card whether they would have an interest in meeting their date again. If a mutual interest is noted, speed-dating organizers provide each party with the other's phone number.
Speed dating has proven to be fairly successful, with approximately half of all participants coming away with a potential match. While some may be uncomfortable with the notion of making repeated small talk ten times in one evening, advocates of speed dating believe that the success of this "unconventional" arrangement lies in "conventional" — simple chemistry.
But the question remains: Is seven minutes enough time to fairly assess someone? Afterall, in this short time, you may have written off someone you might have otherwise found interesting in a traditional dating scenario.
Conversely, you may think you've met your dream date. But had you more time — even one more minute — you may have discovered that "dreamboat" has a toe-nail clipping collection under his bed.
Generally though, guys are always acceptable in dockers or dress slacks and a nicely pressed sports shirt. If you are more comfortable in jacket and tie, or feel you make a better impression that way, go for it!!
Gals: Women are a different story. As usual, gals have come to speed-dating events in every attire from jeans to after-five. If in doubt, dress to impress or dress professional.
Both should wear a recent shower, mild amounts of scent, and good grooming. Unless you plan to sit on your hands, clean, clipped or filed fingernails are a must!!
Good rule of thumb: this is a first-date!!
