Asian dating - Speed Dating top 5 tips for Single Muslims
In no particular order I present you a list of essential tips before you go galavanting to the next single muslims event.
1. Dont bring toxic friends with you
Your looking through your phone and thinking which other single muslim would be the right company for a speed dating event and you end up bringing the one donut who doesn't have a single good thing to say about you. Hardly the advocate to support you should you need it.
Personally I think for gents its better you treat this as a solo mission. Less competition from your friends is good as you both liking (or ticking) the same girl could cause conflict and dare I say jealousy. If you are really crapping your pants, and you need someone to hold your hairy hand, then for gods sake try to at least separate yourself in the order you take to talk. Why? 'is that your friend?' 'do you guys know each other?' - chances are she may have some negative or positive to say about your friend which may result in deflecting your chances with her. Chicks are good at assuming we are like our friends. At worst she may spend the most part bragging about how cute he is and more about him. Your ego will be crushed.
Ladies fear not, unlike you lot- us men are more forgiving, if your friend is a moose and has a personality to match, we wont take it personally against you. Word of warning - dont bring that one stunning friend who is single because her list of criteria is as long as the burj al arab. She will get all the attention, she'll regret going there, you'll regret bringing her and she'll spend most of the evening telling you how none of the guys are worth your effort. She'll stay a single muslim until she hits mid 30s when looks to her wont matter anymore. I advise you to bring girlfriend(s) who have a upbeat, positive aura - and wont dwell on the night too much if there isn't a chap who doesn't tickle your fancy.
2. Eat well
Speed dating events can be a lengthy affair, especially if you unfortunately have to spend your evening in the company of people who you normally wouldn't converse with. Bit of a no brainer this one, so I suggest you have a good meal before hand, preferably at a location close by or if your going in a group then promotors of the event would rather you ate at the venue. The bargaining deal the promoters reach with the venue is one that promises a packed audience on a otherwise quiet night, who will purchase food/drinks. A drink is a must! Redbull wont give you wings but the caffeine percentage will keep you perky and energetic. No one likes deadwood.
3. Expect to see regulars
Speed dating to some people is addictive stuff, like laddo's are to fat people.., especially to those souls (bless them) who are not easily satisfied. Serial Speed Daters (SSD's) can be corrosive, negative people. If you happen to come across one, you'll notice them by their gormless look on their faces, dont get sucked into their 'bad experience stories'. I always suggest people to put on a protective metaphorical condom around themselves to safeguard against SSD's. Regulars wont smile so much, and will cuddle together with other regulars, catch up on how bad their previous experience was, whilst eyeing up the competition.
4. Promotors may hit on your target
Nowadays a speed dating event can be set up by your average Next suit wearing Raj or Imran. These adolescents are street wise, smell fresh, and very often have a good speech-box on them. Promotors will often bring along some token sluts to make up the numbers. These chicks will linger around the main players, often giggling loudly whilst giving other girls the dirties. Ignore this nonsense. If you opt to speed date with a reputable company you wont have to worry about these issues.
5. Make connections
It should go without saying that you must mentally prepare well and be open to the idea of meeting a single muslim in this fashion. Being confident and positive is a must. If you walk in and see a bunch of chicks who'd make Susan Bolye look hot, dont be too disheartened, there is a opportunity to network with people who are proactively doing the same thing as you. The event will be long, you will get tired of talking and staring at people who in any other circumstance you would avoid like the plague.
Good luck! :)
