So, I'm kinda new to this whole thing. Just starting to get into it all. I've been listening to Wygant a lot, and I've gotten to the point where I'm mostly able to open anyone (if not 100% comfortable with it yet).

My main problem is keeping the conversation going beyond an opener. I've always had trouble with that, so I figure what better way to do so than by putting myself in a situation where the opener's easy and I have time to actually focus on the conversation, free of distraction. So, I'm going speed dating.

My question is thus: is there anything about the speed dating situation that is different, things I should be looking for, etc? Is it comparable to a normal open/hook/close? And any general tips?
