Top tips to optimise your SpeedDate experience at GooseBerry!
 
 
1. Each SpeedDate lasts for 6 minutes. First impressions are critical. Make sure you are well groomed, upbeat and that you are having a dialogue not conducting a monologue!
 
2. Turn off your mobile phone. Taking calls in the middle of a SpeedDate is not polite!
 
3. Maintain good eye contact and smile. Make your date feel as though they are the only one in the room.
 
4. Don't have expectations of finding " the one". Relax and have fun with all the guests. Have no expectations and you will probably have better luck!
 
5. There is no "on the spot" rejection since you don't receive your results that evening. So, feel free to reject or accept whomever you want on the scorecard.
 
6. Mingle at the break. The strategy of the 6 minute formal date is just a point of introduction. Make the most of it!
 
7. If you come to the event with friends, sit apart from them. This will ensure you get the best from your GooseBerry experience.
 
8. Consider saying YES to at least one person at the event that you would normally rule out.....
Keep your options open and Expect the Unexpected!
 
9. Your date tried their best to make an impression on you. Don't forget to let him/her know how much you enjoyed meeting them.
 
10. Don't spend too much time making notes! Move quickly to your next date to make the most of your time. Notes should just be a quick way to jog your memory when you receive your matches.
 
11. Relax! If you are relaxed this will come across and The Real You will shine through.
 
12. Smoking is not permitted during the SpeedDates for everyone's comfort and enjoyment. You will however, be free to smoke during the break and after the SpeedDates.
