Speed dating advice: The power introduction

An important skill to learn for people wishing to find the ideal partner quickly, which would naturally be helpful for speed dating, is the power introduction, according to one expert.

Jeff Herring, a marriage and family therapist, made his argument in an article for McClatchy Newspapers.

"The power introduction is a casual conversation with powerful intentions," he said.

Mr Herring made clear that this technique is different from asking someone several planned questions.

"You bring up in casual conversation topics that reflect what is important to you and pay attention to the kind of response you receive," he added.

Power introductions are part of a screening process to help a person decide if someone is right for them.

Mr Herring said that it helps for all kinds of dating and that it can be carried out over several dates while people get to know one another.

The holder of an MS and an LMFT qualifications, Mr Herring runs a website called Secrets of Great Relationships.
