Speed Dating

September 6th 2006 00:03
Can you really meet the man or women of your dreams after just a few minutes of casual chit-chat? According to the promoters of speed dating it is definitely within the realm of possibility.

I like to think of speed dating as a form of sport. Its like a job interview, blind date and a game of musical chairs all rolled into one. The way that it works is that you’ll get three to ten minutes (depending on the organization) to chat to a potential partner. You’ll keep changing places successively chit chatting with a bunch is eligible new singles over the course of the session. Generally speaking you’ll probably get to meet 10 to 25 different potential dates during the experience.


Compared to hitting a club and meeting randoms, speed dating enables you to meet a hell of a lot more people and from the outset everyone’s intentions are clear. There’s no negotiating around the eligibles and takens. Everyone is single and everyone is looking for a partner. This also cuts out much of the bullshit associated with meeting someone that you are interested in. Since there is a common goal you can be direct with your questions and get straight to the issues and qualities that are important to you in a relationship and potential partner.

Speed dating is really like a combination of online and offline dating. It’s a middle ground method for finding a date. It is a friendly and sociable way of meeting strangers that is conducted in a controlled environment. There’s little change of finding your free cocktail has been spiked. If you’d spotted something you’ve fancied on your speed dating experience you can ask for a date. Generally, communication between speed daters is concealed and in written form. This way if the other party isn’t interested in a date, the face-to-face embarrassment of rejection is spared.



If you are interested in giving speed dating a go, these are a few agencies running speed dating get togethers throughout Australia.

They say that first impressions count and love at first sight. I guess speed dating puts those to the test. It would be quite fun by the sounds of it. Imagine if you came across your ex or someone you already know? Could be interesting.
