Kat Wanders Will Try Speed Dating

It's official, the guessing is over and so is our first contest. Kat Wanders, writer of the blog Looking for Love in LA will try Speed Dating. Many of your contest entries were helpful, but other participants thought they were funny guessing truck stops and dark alleys for how Kat should find a date. One woman even wrote a glowing review of an Arizona truck stop, which is kind of funny if she's joking, and down right creepy if she meant it. Since Kat did hint about speed dating, there were lots of guesses for that choice.

The next most popular choice was the supermarket. I like this because you can tell a lot about a guy by what's in his cart, but in an earlier blog Kat revealed that she can't flirt. Meeting a good looking guy in a supermarket requires superior flirting skills, so Speed Dating is a better choice. If you have speed dating tips or flirting tips for Kat be sure to visit her blog and leave a comment. Kat has promised to update us on her speed dating adventures, but in the meantime we have some tips based on information we gathered from speed dating company 8 Minute Dating so that she can go in well prepared.

1. Be honest and thorough when completing your registration
2. You will be matched with 8 singles for 8 minute mini dates
   
3. There is mingling time during intermission and after the mini dates
   
4. Participants cannot ask for contact information
5. Go to the website afterwards to enter names of anyone you want to see again
6. When there is a match the speed dating company will provide contact information to both people

And one final tip from your friends at LuvemOrLeavem. Eight minutes is a short amount of time with a nice, interesting guy, but can be an eternity if the guy is a dud. Despite this, you will need to nod and smile until the time is up. Reading a book to kill the remaining minutes or bringing your own bell and screaming "Next!" are strictly prohibited by all speed dating companies.
Good Luck Kat!
