Richard Wiseman, Professor of the Public Understanding of Psychology offers this advice in his book "59 seconds".

According to a study of 100 speed daters, the most successful strategy was to encourage the other person to talk about themselves but in a quirky way. So questions such as "If you were on Stars in Their Eyes, which celebrity would you be?" and "If you were a pizza topping, what would you be?" were highly rated. Amongst the least successful chat-up lines was: "I have a PhD in computing."

Imagine you are hosting the perfect dinner party - who would you invite?

When did you last talk to yourself?

Name two ways you consider yourself lucky?

Name something you have always wanted to do, and explain why you haven't done it yet.

Imagine your house has caught fire and you can only save one thing - what would it be?

Describe one of the happiest days of your life.

Imagine you are going to become close friends with your date. What is the most important thing for them to know about you?

Tell your date two things you really like about him/her.

Describe one of the most embarrassing moments in your life.

Describe a personal problem and ask your date's advice on how to solve it.

I have never experienced speed dating in particular, but I feel like as in any reaction that is extremely time sensitive, your biggest strategy should be on making yourself identifiable from the other 20 dudes she's going to meet at the event. Don't have a boring conversation about work or school. Ask her fun, sexual questions, like her first kiss, worst kiss, etc... to put out the sexual vibe and differentiate yourself a bit.
