Speed Dating
The Really New Way To Date

Speed dating is the new way of dating that is taking hold in this country as well as the U.K.  Speed dating can be described as a matchmaking process or dating system that encourages people to meet a large number of potential dates for short periods of time. The concept is based on a belief -- and various studies -- that seem to prove that women and men usually make up their minds about whether or not they are interested in pursuing a relationship within a few minutes of meeting someone.

How Does Speed Dating Work

Speed dating events are set up with an equal number of men and women who meet and get a chance to chat and become somewhat acquainted for a specified period of time, usually from 3 to 8 minutes. They then switch to the next meeting whether they want to or not. At the end of the evening, speed dating participants submit the list of people that interested them to the speed dating organizers. If both parties list each other as someone they would like to see again, this is a speed dating match. The phone numbers are forwarded to each.

There are just a few ground rules set up by speed dating organizers. Participants should not discuss personal information such as where they are from, their jobs or how much money they make.

Speed dating is a craze that is spreading across the whole country. And now there are online speed dating sites.

Some of the many advantages of speed dating include:

• speed daters meet large numbers of people within a short period of time at one event
• speed dating it levels the playing field between the sexes
