1. Your date will last for 3 minutes. First impressions are crucial and image does count. Make sure you are well groomed, upbeat and that you are having a dialogue not giving a monologue.

2. Ok this one seems obvious, but apparently it's not! Turn your cell phones off. Taking calls or texting in the middle of a date is considered extremely rude.

3. Have good eye contact and smile. Make your date feel as though he/she is the only one in the room. Read social cues from your date ....if you stop to read their body language and facial expressions, it will give you a clue if you are fascinating them or if you need to move on to asking them a question!

4. Walk in with No expectations of finding the one. Relax and have fun with all the participants. It is a party. Have no expectations and you will probably have better luck.

5. There is no on the spot rejection since you do not receive your results that evening. So, feel free to reject or accept whomever you want on the scorecard.

6. Arrive and check in early so you can take advantage of the time to mingle with all the singles before formally dating in the 3 minute format. Also make sure you mingle if there is a break called and after the formal dating ends. DATING AND FINDING YOUR MATCH IN LIFE IS A NUMBERS GAME!!! The more you put in the funnel, you are bound to close in on your match. The strategy of the 3-minute formal date is just a point of introduction. Make the most of it!

7. If you come to the event with a friend or friends, sit apart from them. People catch on that you are friends and will say no because they do not want to be compared/judged. Be sure to ask at the time of Check In to be seated away from friends.

8. If you are not sure whether to say Yes or No to a particular date, we recommend you say YES. It ups your chances for a match and allows you to take it a step further after receiving your Results. Consider saying YES to at least one person at the event who you would normally reject..Try to OPEN THE DOOR to someone younger, older, different occupation etc.

9. Your date tried their best to make an impression on you, do not forget to let him/her know how much you enjoyed meeting them.

10. Don't spend too much time taking notes! Move quickly to your next date to make the most of your time. Notes should just be a quick way to jog your memory when you receive your matches (hair color, unusual job, their name etc).

11 What to wear? This is always a popular one to ponder. Our research conducted has shown that participants do appreciate somebody who has put some time into their appearance and attire. Go ahead and take a moment to review your style/grooming.

12. Finally, don't forget to pop a breath mint and just relax. This is all about having fun too!
