Ø While six minutes is not
much time to develop into deep conversation, it often will yield enough of a
first impression so that you can make a judgment on whether or not you and a
date would be compatible.
Ø However, there are some
things that are off-limits to talk about while speed dating. The first is
profession. This is because too often a dater will make a snap judgment about a
person's job without getting to know the real person.
Ø You also are not allowed to
talk about where you're from, to rule out those who only want to date someone
from their own area. The goal of speed dating is to meet as many people as you
can to find a match, so talk about interests, or favorite activities, foods or
hobbies.
