Er don't know if you guys are the best to ask about this, lol..

Our uni is doing some tacky "traffic light" party thing tomorrow. Already got a ticket cos some fine friends are going and I'm single at the moment. You wear green if you're single, amber if you're just looking, and red if you're unavailable. Um, don't have any amber or green in my wardrobe...

Anyway, also going on is some "Speed Dating". You get 3 minutes (I think) with girls and then you find out matches after.

What are your tips? It'd be easy to do the ****e "what course are you doing" bollocks, but if anyone has done it before, have you any tips to make the evning a bit more fun and interesting?

Perhaps the lack of green clothing is God trying to send you a message.

nice concept.

I don't understand the difference between green and amber. If you're "just looking", is green a desperation plea: PLEASE ANYONE DATE ME NOW

Whatever you do, don't wear green

That's what I was thinking, knowing the way women work. Actually, I'd have to buy something to go in either green or amber, so might as well just wear red.

"I'm wearing red because I'm unavailable to everyone else..."

[Space05us]

wear pink

[SlowwHand]

I'd wear something with all 3 shades; says "I'm easy".

[Zylka]

Then you won't be approached, and will make things uncomfortable when approaching. Have fun

Go naked.

[Immortal Wombat]

Wear black and aim to get all three colours inside you by the end of the evening.

Zylka is right.

Go Red.

I also don't understand the difference in Green and amber . . . Is amber " I am in a relationship but will go for it if someone better comes along"


AS for speed dating, its something I thought would be fun if I were ever single. I really think in the speed dating thing your only goal is to get a regular date with any of the people that interest you and that this will occur if you a) are physically attractive to them b) You Don't act like a doofus...

People want to give people they think are cute a chance so my advice is don't go crazy trying to knock their socks off ( many such attempts fall flat)-- If you are NORMAL, polite and can carry on a converstaion, you're in.

The " what course are you taking?" line might seem unoriginal but it does get you talking and is pretty safe . ..


Seriously, even in regular dating I think the idea of "lines" or methods are doomed to spectacular failure more often than they succeed. I found that simply being straightforward, honest and pretty conservative in my approach WORKED time after time.

Bottom line -- if they like your look and don't think you are weird, you should get that date. If they think you are fugly, well you never really had a chance.
