The Good and Bad of Speed Dating

 Speed dating is a fast growing way for people to date. It  allows you to meet many new people and scan to see if they are right for and plan a future ``date`` if they seem right for you. This method first begun when it was created by Yaacov Deyo to help pair up Jewish singles. His concept was that if you get a group of compatible people together in one spot and let them go on `speed` dates.

 Wikipedia states that the first speed dating event occurred in the United States in 1998 at Pete’s Café which is located in Beverly Hills. This idea quickly became more well known growing all across North America and then became normal. The concept of speed dating is a date while playing musical chairs. It begins when a group of people all fill out an information sheet. The women then get seated at tables and the men will start to fill the other seat at the tables which the women have already occupied. After a few minutes, usually five, a bell will ring and the man will move to the next table. If he liked the woman that he was talking to, he will put a check mark next to her name on the sheet. If she also checks his name then the person who is hosting the event will send the woman’s contact information to the man.

 There are a lot of advantages to speed dating. Starting off, you get to meet various people and have a face to face chat with them in that type of environment. Speed dating is superior to online dating because you can actually see the person you are talking to and get to know them in a more realistic way instead of just reading text.

 These speed dating companies often charge money for this service, for example, a date with 15 women for $30 on one speed dating event. The majority of people that you will meet at these events are very sophisticated and upper class type people.

 If speed dating is something that interests you then maybe it is worth a try.
