So, you have taken the plunge and decided that speed dating is the way to meet a woman. The bar scene was a bust and online dating sites just didn’t give you that face to face connection that you were looking for. Now, as you prepare to “date” ten to fifteen women in just one night, you are probably wondering how you can, in a matter of about ten minutes, determine if the woman before you has long term potential.

Well, it is easier than it sounds and by asking a few pointed questions you can decide if the woman sitting across from you is the girl of your dreams.

Why did your last relationship end?

This can tell you a lot about a girl. If she left the relationship because he was abusive or cheated on her it shows that she is strong. She won’t be pushed around. That’s a good thing.

However, if she says he didn’t buy her gifts or they didn’t go out to fancy restaurants enough, it could be a tip off that she is one high maintenance gal.

Listen carefully to her answers and read between the lines.

Have you ever been married or do you want to get married?

If you are looking for a girl who is marriage material, it is good to see if her head is in the right place and is speed dating you have to move fast and ask more pointed questions to see if she is right for you. If she starts blasting marriage the moment that you ask, then she may not be the right one.

On the other hand, if she acts as if she is desperate to get married, well, that isn’t so great either. Dating sites are full of women (and men) who want nothing more than to get married.
If she responds that she would like to find a partner, someone to share her life with, she might be a good choice.

Do you want (or have) children?

Don’t shy away from this question, remember, this is speed dating. You are checking to see if you share similar values
