So, lately at TIKYSS events people have been asking me for tips for speed dating. The truth is I don’t really have any except for don’t stress it and have fun. But, I do have a little tip for keeping your potential matches straight; I suggest that participants write down the names of every person they speak with and at switching time, cross out anyone you aren’t interested in. If you do it this way, you will be less likely to forgot people. Forgetting names of people (booze doesn’t help the memory either but it just tastes so good!) has been a reoccurring problem for participants who wait till the end to write down names on their cards. What do you care if the studs you aren’t interested in think you are interested? They will figure it out eventually…no fear! So, the moral of the tip, write down everyone and cross out the names of participants you aren’t interested at switching time. Maximize your matches!

Our next event will be Thursday, May 6th!

Yesterday, Brian at FREEwilliamsburg.com posted two separate items about TIKYSS. His first post was less than supportive to say the least. However, after some friendly commenting from yours truly and a blog commenting stranger on the original post, FREEwilliamsburg had to change their tune with a second post! Check them out!

And don’t forget, our next event will be Thursday, May 6th!

Twittering or texting while participating in an event called The Internet Killed Your Social Skills just might be counter productive.

Just saying.
