She is a world traveler, an avid reader, a coffee addict, an amateur photographer, an Instagram addict, a doting mother, and a philosopher at heart who loves to give her wacky, relatable advice on everything from <strong>speed dating<\/strong> and motherhood to travel and spirituality.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who has the time to date anymore? First, you have to look for the right person; then you have to travel to a coffee shop or bar to meet the person and then spend money on the date you didn\u2019t like. You might as well stay at home and watch Netflix!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>That\u2019s why Speed Dating helps.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But it\u2019s all scary. What do you ask? What do you say? Here are seven questions that could get you into the groove:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Tell Me About Yourself<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 When your date asks you that, keep it simple. Say your name, where you stay, whether you\u2019re studying or working, if you live with your parents, siblings, have a pet and have a hobby! Ask them the same question back.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Talk about the hobby<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Hobbies could vary from reading and writing to adventure sports and travel to listening to music. If you\u2019re on a <strong>quick dating<\/strong> spree, ask about that and share what you love. Never interrupt. Hear them out. If they talk too much without asking you back, you know the person is self-absorbed.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Books or movies?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Follow this up by asking about favourite books or movies. What did you like most about it? If you know any interesting facts, gossip about the subject, share that so you can build on that, and you don\u2019t need to go on to other questions!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>What do you do for fitness<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 What are his physical goals? If the man\/woman is constantly working out, chances are they won\u2019t be available to meet or have a conversation as often as you\u2019d like on a <strong>speed dating<\/strong> meet. Or if they\u2019re not into fitness, they might crash your diet regime. There needs to be a balance.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>How long ago were you in a relationship?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Exes keep popping up into people\u2019s lives and rebound relationships could mean you\u2019re going to be taken for a ride. If the person has been single for a while, it\u2019s good to save their number. But if they\u2019ve recently broken up, rest assured you\u2019re going to be a crying shoulder! The depth of the relationship is directly proportional to the time spent in it and will take half that time to move on from it!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Future plans<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Do you plan to work? Where do you see yourself going in the company? Do you have a bad boss? How do you deal with pressure? What picture do you have on your screensaver? Fun questions about work would show if he\u2019s a clown or a serious worker or has any ambition at all.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Romance Is?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 What would we do on our second date? A romantic date for you means? It\u2019s important to talk about romance because most women will always want it. If the man is uninterested and practical, he should know if the woman is also a no-nonsense person. If she wants to go hiking and not talk on a date, he needs not bring flowers!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask. Understand. Reciprocate. Smile.
