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.
