Speed Da(ng

1st Round—Girl students interview boy students:

Why do you color your hair green?

Is it to build up courage or make your hair match your socks?

Why haven't you found a partner as yet?

Hi there. Nice to meet you. I have a question for you.

When you hear the music you change partners and roles.

1st Round—Girl students interview boy students:

1. Hi there. Nice to meet you. I have a question for you. Why do you color your hair green? Is it to build up courage or just to make your hair match your socks?

2. I see here on your card that you have already attended other speed dating sessions. Why is it that you haven't found a partner as yet?

3. Do you always speak as slowly as you are doing now?

4. I am looking for a man with a great job and a very high salary. What do you do in life?

5. Why did you have your nose pierced and not your eyebrow?


2nd Round—Boy students interview girl student:

1. Hi there. Nice to meet you. I see here on your card that you enjoy bungee diving? Does that mean that you don't feel normal life is exciting enough?

2. Well, never mind. Just tell me why are your teeth completely black? Do you smoke or is it genetic?

3. Why do you keep looking away? Don't you think I am a handsome guy?

4. How many boyfriends have you had in the last six months?

5. Is that all? I am sure you are lying? Explain why the number is so low.


3rd Round—Girl students interview boy students:

1. Hi there. Nice to meet you. Why are you wearing elevator heels on your shoes? Do you need to be taller than your girlfriend?

2. I can see here on your card that you have been out of work for 10 years. Do you expect a woman to take care of a man who does nothing?

3. Why do you keep looking at the other boys in the room? Are you a homosexual?

4. OK then. Now tell me, would you rather go out with an attractive woman with no brains or an ordinary looking woman like myself, who is very intelligent?

5. Someone told me you had a tattoo. Where on your body is it located?


4th Round Boy students interview girl students:

1. Hi there. Nice to meet you. Why do you seem so hesitant? Have you never seen a well-built man before?

2. You look a bit out of shape. Don't you think you ought to go on a special diet or do some bodybuilding to look more like me?

3. Someone told me you have very rich, influential parents. Could they get a job for me?

4. If I asked you to run away with me this evening, how long would it take you to pack your bags?

5. Why is your skirt so long? Do you have something to hide?


5th Round—Girl students interview boy students:

1. Hi there. Nice to meet you. Ugh! You smell smoke. Why do you smoke so much?

2. Well OK, but I can see here on your card that you were once on a television quiz show but you couldn't answer a single question. Is that true?

3. Someone told me you had a nose job (an operation on your nose)? Why did you feel you had to change the size of your nose?

4. I have 12 cats, 8 dogs and a snake at home. You do like pets, don't you?

5. OK then. Now tell me, would you rather go out with an attractive woman with no brains or an ordinary looking woman like myself, who is very intelligent? (This question is a repeat and allows girls to compare candidates.)


Final Phase:

The boys and girls get together separately to answer the question "Who is the best date?"

They also get ready to explain to the whole class the reasons for their choice.
