Speed Dating

Have you ever thought about giving speed dating a try? Speed dating is perfect for someone who's short on time but really wants to get out there, socialize, and meet some great people. Here are some interesting things about this fairly new way to date.

Speed daters rotate from station to station every few minutes and meet a new potential mate at each station. Each dater takes turns asking the other person at their station questions until the clock expires and then they move onto the next station. Each dater takes notes on each date so they can sort of who they do or do not want to see again after the speed dating session. At most speed dating events the woman stay at the same station for the entire session while the males move station to station to meet each woman.

Most speed dating venues have a basic way they set up the event. At most speed dating events the women stay at the same station for the entire session while the males move station to station to meet each woman.

Those in favor of speed dating claim it is a much better, cheaper and safer method of meeting people than going to a bar. Additionally, it's can be more efficient than online dating, since you meet each person face-to-face and can gather information on them quickly. Also, physical attraction is much easier to judge in person than it is simply looking at pictures online.

Most speed dating services charge between $25 and $60 per person. The fee normally includes a couple of free drinks or a meal or snacks. Most speed dating sessions have between 50 and 150 participants, half male and half female.

Let's say the average cost for a speed dating event is $40. Let's also assume that there will be 55 single people the opposite sex at the event. To be introduced to 1 eligible single it would cost you $0.73 ($40 divided by 55). So the cost of meeting 100 potential soul mates is about $73.00.

One negative fact of speed dating is that you are forced to spend your time on "dates" with people you are not attracted to and have no interest in wasting both your time and money. Of course it's only a few minutes and will be well worth it if you end up meeting someone special at that event.

All in all speed dating is a great way to get out there and meet some really interesting people without taking up a ton of your time. Who knows you may even meet that someone special!
