Originating in the USA it’s gathering momentum, and has got the attention of Canadian and UK singles as well. You will find regular Speed Dating events in most major cities up and down these countries, and most singles usually go back for more. As with all dating nothing has a one hundred percent strike rate but you have the night out, and the enjoyment factor. Where else can you meet twenty excited, eligible singles that are looking for a night of fun that can turn into romance.
Generally at an event tables are set out for the dates then everyone will sit down for their first date. After the dates have finished the gentlemen will usually move around the tables while the women stay seated. Singles are given cards at the start of the event to mark off the singles they would like to see again. After the event they will go home and login to the events organisers web site the next day to see who they have matched with. If the single has more than one match they then have to decide who they have a stronger desire for. This is the point where the event organisers leave it in the singles hands, and no longer participate in the relationship.
Speed Dating isn’t for the shy type. It’s an evening of pure socializing, and quick thinkers will definitely be in their element. With only a few minutes to get to know someone, being able to think on your feet is a definite advantage. Knowing a little bit about most things will help as well so getting stuck for questions and answers doesn’t become an issue. Keeping up with current events can help also for quick conversation pieces.
Women knowing something about their national sport will help in a sticky situation. Some men will definitely find this attractive. And the same goes for the men, knowing something a bit feminine will help them, and score some points for instant attraction.
If you enjoy meeting people, and enjoy plenty of fun conversation, a Speed Dating event is going to hit the right buttons. An evening of fun fuelled dating and a few drinks is what your singles social life could be just what the doctor ordered.
