Dating Expert Reveals Secrets to Increasing Matches at Speed Dating Events

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- LeeAnn Webster, a dating expert, singles event planner and Rapid Dating(r) creator, just published the book "Dating At The Speed of Life - How To Make A Date in Only 5 Minutes."

Rotational dating events (aka speed dating events) have become the most popular way for singles to meet. Thousands of singles participate in these events every week, says author LeeAnn Webster. Although the events make it easy to meet, some singles are still having trouble making connections.

As the creator of Rapid Dating, Webster helped thousands of singles connect through the entertaining format of meeting a new person every five minutes. "After watching thousands of interactions, I noticed that some people generate numerous matches easily while others struggle to make even one," said Webster.

"Many people don't realize there are specific skills that, once learned, dramatically improve results," Webster said. Through her book and individual coaching sessions, LeeAnn helps singles learn how to quickly make a great first impression.

Many companies now offer these events (each with their own twist), yet no one has offered singles the exact advice they need to make the most of their evening. This is the first book to provide specific information on how to prepare for the event, what to do at the event, and how to turn the matches into dates after the event.

In addition to Webster's advice, the book includes interviews with more than 30 singles who have each received five or more matches in one night. "The interviews provide incredible insight into exactly WHY a person circles YES or NO on the scorecard," adds Webster. "I found that, while everyone has their own approach, there were many similarities that are helpful for both genders."

Rotational dating events are extremely popular because they allow singles to meet many prospects in one night without the pressure of long dates and the fear inherent to on-line dating. By meeting the person face to face you know instantly whether you have a connection.

LeeAnn Webster, "Queen of Fun," is the author of "Dating At The Speed of Life - How to Make A Date in 5 Minutes"; the creator of Rapid Dating(r); and the founder of Single Solutions, a resource center for singles. Webster is also a speaker, author, life coach and attorney with a wide range of legal and business experience. She has been featured on NBC's "The Other Half," UPN and KNBC News, KROQ's "Kevin and Bean Show," WLVQ's "Waggs and Elliot Show," and in the Los Angeles Times, the Orange County Register and the Columbus Dispatch. She is committed to helping singles break down the barriers to meeting others. Through events, speaking and writing, LeeAnn helps singles learn how to understand themselves and quickly connect with each other.
