Have the Time of Your Life Speed Dating Washington DC

I went to Speed Dating Washington DC and it was one of the most interesting experiences of my life. I went with a male friend of mine who was also single. That made me feel a little more comfortable as I was a little afraid to attend an event like that all alone.

 

I have heard horror stories about people going on dates with men they met on the Internet so I figured speed dating would be a more relaxed and safe environment. And I was right! When we first arrived we were greeted by a lovely woman who helped us register and then ushered us over to the bar to socialize with some of the other members of the group. I immediately saw this man that I felt that just had to talk to. There was just something about him that attracted me to him immediately without saying one word!

 

Of course I was very nervous to talk to him at first so I thought I'd wait until Speed Dating Washington DC began. The speed date portion of the event was so much fun. I got approximately five minutes to speak to a wide variety of men, many of who were quite funny and engaging.

 

But when the man who I was instantly attracted to sat down across from me we had a fabulous conversation. Just as the whistle blew and it was time to talk with the next man, he said, "Let's talk later at the bar." I was thrilled. I never would have guessed that speed dating dc would be the place I met the man of my dreams. We've been dating for just over a year now and it still strikes me as unbelievable that the instant I saw him I just knew he'd be the one for me. I never believed in love at first sight, but that's what it seemed to be.

 

My male friend also met someone he dated for a while but it didn't work out. So he went to another Speed Dating Washington DC event and he's not giving up on finding his true love.

Events and Adventures in Washington, D.C.: From Minutes to Marriage

Professionals in the City offers large general dating events and adventures.  Of the thousands of events they offer year round, I think that speed dating is the best way to meet someone.

Speed dating is very efficient.  It provides you just enough time to determine if you are chemically attracted to someone without giving you time to second guess or over think it.  If there is any chemistry between two people, they will sense it quickly; more importantly, they will also sense if there is not.  Why invest a huge amount of time in someone who you are not compatible with?

This is how Professionals in the City's version of speed dating events and adventures works:  They seat men and women across from each other, and every few minutes, they have the men rotate by moving one seat to their right.  Everyone is given a name tag with a number on it and a pen and pad to jot down other names, numbers, and short notes about people they would like to contact again (I.e.- Joe #215-- tall, blue eyes, doctor).  Additionally, the speed dating event "coaches" will give you tips about how to make the most out of speed dating.  They might tell you something like, "Are certain things important to you?  Ask about them right away".

Do you think that only weird people go to speed dating events or that people will think you are strange if you attend?  Think about it like this-- people who attend speed dating events are eager to meet someone whom they are compatible with.  People show this simply by making the effort to pay for and attend such an event.  People who lack the social skills to interact with others face to face are most likely the people who are sitting behind their computers trying to meet others.

In the span of an hour or two of speed dating events and adventures, you can meet more eligible singles than most people meet during a year of online dating.  Professionals in the City offers speed dating events several times each week for a range of specific ages, ethnicities, religions, interests, etc.  Most people who attend these events have at least one "second date" with someone (or more than one person) they met at the event, and several of those relationships progress to marriage.

Finding Love Through Dating Sites

Dating is no longer what it was in the past. And by past, this does not mean a century ago - no - even comparing the present day dating scene with what it was 20 years ago can demonstrate how much society has changed. There are a lot of reasons for this with the main being the ever evolving human culture and the realities of day to day living. Life has become very hectic and people increasingly have less time than they would have had before to go for many and long dates so as to get to know someone. Add to that the innate wall that many people build around themselves after being in one-too-many unsuccessful relationships and you can see that the dating scene is not for the fainthearted. And if ordinary dating is difficult, then it can be intimidating for the single mum.



But two things that the single mum needs to familiarize with and equip themselves for if they are to find true love today are dating sites (websites that is) and speed dating events. There are a number of principles that the single mum must adhere to when venturing into dating sites and speed dating meetings.



Self Acceptance



There is a direction correlation between people being attracted to you and how you perceive yourself. If you keep putting yourself down and telling everyone around you what a loser you think you have become, then people you interact with will treat you with the same contempt. Take good care of your dressing, your skin and your hair as these are visual signs of how well you accept yourself. Walk with confidence even when feelings of sadness or fear within you would tempt you to do otherwise. During speed dating, these first impressions play a major role in determining whether there will be a second date or not.



Positive Mind-Set



You may have heard of or known people that have had a bad experience on a dating site. But be careful not to pass judgment on all dating sites and all the people genuinely looking for love on these websites. As long as you undertake the necessary due diligence before you join a particular dating site or getting in touch with some one that you think matches the qualities you are looking for, you should be fine. Keep a positive attitude that there is someone out there that will not mind that you already have one or more children from a previous relationship and that they will love you and your kids just as you are.



Be Warm and Welcoming



This does not however mean that you smile even when someone is being rude to you. Be friendly but firm with the people you meet. In this way you will gain respect and still be approachable. Learn to initiate and keep conversations going as this will instantly draw people to you and make you stand out during a speed dating event. Make eye contact with the man that you find attractive. If you find smiling or making eye contact too much for you, try practicing with the people around you before you go on a date.
