Speed Dating is
An Excellent Way to Meet People
Speed dating will take some of the stress out of traditional
dating in a safe, friendly and entertaining way.
More and more people have been exposed to the concept of what a speed
dater is all about; and the benefits are now well known.
 There
is little time wasted. Upon arrival at one of our "Hurry
Date"
events, you will be checked in and given a badge/sticker with a unique
number on it.
Events are hosted and the host of the event will
wait until everyone has arrived and then provide a quick welcome and
overview of what to expect.
The process
works something like this:
- Each event has a bunch of tables with a number
associated with it.
- Each man is presented a number at the beginning
of the event.
- The event starts with the man visiting the
table that corresponds with his number.
- The woman are seated at each table.
- The woman remain seated during the event.
- The men move around from table to table.
- Generally, the men have 4 to 5 minutes at each
table.
- The idea is to meet as many people as possible
within a relatively short period.
- After
the 4 to 5 minute time period, a bell/chime will sound...and the man
then moves to the next table (where a different lady is waiting).
- Between each date there is usually a little
time allowed to jot down some notes for yourself.
- Some of the longer events will have built-in
time breaks.
- And they will continue until everyone has met
one another.
With "hurry" dating, everyone is there to meet other people...just as
you are.
 You
have just enough time with each person to decide whether or not you
would like to meet with them again.
And you only get put in contact with the people "you" want to meet
AND...who also want to meet "you again".
This works great for most people because it helps relieve some of the
awkward phone calls of first
dates or a blind date
with someone you may not have an interest in.
What sort of
people go speed dating?
- Usually busy people who do not have much free
time that traditional dating can take.
- Most are professionals who want to improve
their chances of meeting the right person.
- They
are generally "normal", with varied interests who generally
socialize with the same group of friends and work colleagues and rarely
get the opportunity to meet many new people.
- People who are looking to meet new people in a
fun, safe environment.
- Many people find it easier to bring a friend
along for moral support and to help overcome the first date nerves.
We are in favor of the speed date for the same reason as the dating club and fitness singles
ideas.
It is a great opportunity to meet someone who you
share
similar interests and can begin the foundation of a relationship off on
the right foot.
In addition to the speed
dating discussion here, don't forget our other topics in the American singles
section such as: singles
dating, dating club, American dating, adult match maker
and fitness singles.
