Patti Stanger of The Millionaire Matchmaker

According to the Examiner.com, Patti Stanger was recently at a speed dating event in Los Angeles and provided some helpful tips for those in attendance about meeting singles online and online dating. Stanger is the host of the popular network television program The Millionaire Matchmaker in addition to being the author of ‘Become your own matchmaker” and a celebrity host on XM Radio.

Her tips for the speed daters after listening in on some of the conversations included “Don’t tell your life story, Get to the point.” and “Let the men do the work.” She also provided tips to the Examiner.com team prior to the speed dating event. These tips included “Never go past two drinks on a date.” and “Don’t talk about the ex.”. No one wants to know about your last relationship unless they ask and then they still probably don’t want to know too much.

Finally there was a list of people to avoid that she shared which ranged from “Toxic People” and “Alcoholics” to “Addicts” and the “Fixers”. Your interruption is required on some of her personality descriptions. I think we will get more good advice from Stanger in the coming weeks as her book goes to paperback at the end of the month.

Online Speed Dating, Seriously

Online Speed Dating, Seriously

Some dating sites are now adding the feature of online speed dating to the mix of services they offer their members. In addition to the traditional profile creation and browsing, sites are offering a mix of video, instant message, and voice to allow members to meet one another online in a speed dating fashion.

Meet 12 single adults during a predefined hour of turbo dating with many 5 minute online dates. This new feature is taking off and creates a very casual atmosphere that is more fun than the traditional online dating services. Registration is often free for this service and is bundled with other services the site provides.

In addition you will be allowed to select a specific channel which connects you with only a certain kind of date during your speed dating hour. This allows online speed dating to be more beneficial than speed dating exercises that occur in person. And after the speed dating session has ended, members can connect in other forms of interaction online including chat and email or take the next step to an in-person meeting.
