Speed dating is one of the freshest dating movements in the United
States and United Kingdom and continues to spread quickly to the rest
of the world. It draws so many people because of its exciting, fast and
no pressure way to meet other singles.
At one event, you will come into
contact with a number of people and participate in quick one-on-one
conversations. This process eliminates the stress of going out, finding
someone attractive and working up the courage to break the ice. There
are no long, expensive dinners or blind dates without chemistry. The
people at these events are there simply because they are serious about
finding the right person to date.
Speed dating can vary at each
individual event as far as the number of participants and the amount of
time you are allowed to ‘date’, but the general idea is the same for
all of them. You need to find an upcoming meeting in your area and
register in advance. The registration helps the coordinators assure the
ratio of men to women attending are the same. First, an equal group of
single men and women gather together at a predestined location. Most of
the time the gathering room is filled with ‘tables for two’ and each
table is marked with a letter or number. You are then paired up with
your first ‘date’ and normally allowed between 3 to 8 minutes to get to
ask each other questions. At the end of this time, you move on to your
next ‘date’ and begin again. If you would like to see more of one of
your 'dates’, you have a dating card to either check a box or write
down a name of the person that you would like to see again. Sometimes
you can even log onto a web site after the event and enter the names of
those you wish to have a second date with. Whenever two individuals
‘match up’ after submitting this information, contact information is
provided to both so that a second meeting can be set up.
While this
process might sound intimidating, most people who have braved one event
find that it is not that bad and can even be an efficient way of
meeting new people. The trick is to try to connect or relate to each
other as speedily as possible. The concept is very simple with speed
dating. Showing up with a prepared list of original questions that mean
something to you is probably a good idea and can help as an indicator
as to whom you might want to see again. You’ve got nothing to loose by
registering, preparing some questions and showing up with an open mind.
Try to enjoy yourself and have fun with your speed dates!
