A Guide to Speed Dating For Professionals
Speed dating has been around for a few years now and the events are growing in popularity.
There are specific sites dedicated to speed dating events but many online dating agencies also organise dating events of all kinds for their current members.
Speed dating is the perfect solution for young professionals who have little time to meet like minded people.
Speed dating gives busy professionals the chance to date other professionals in their area without having to do the filtering process themselves.
A typical dating event will have equal numbers of men and women in a trendy establishment which is hired out for the night.
There will be a host/hostess that will run the night.
They take you through the process step by step, starting with registration.
Each dating is assigned a score card and a badge.
Speed dating works on the basis that you score each date you meet and then the organisers collate these scores and notify you if there is a match.
This way you are only matched with someone who also liked you, but it is all anonymous so it avoids any of those awkward situations either asking someone out or having to decline.
There are normally about 20 prospective dates at each event and you spend 3 minutes talking and sussing out each one.
They are highly organised events, with a whistle being blown to tell the man to move on to his next date.
Ladies get to stay where they are (who said chivalry was dead?!).
This might seem frustration when you are in front of the date of your dreams but 3 minutes can be a long time if they are not! Speed dating allows you to vet over 20 dates in one night; it might be more new single people than you would meet all year otherwise.
Contrary to popular belief from those who have never tried speed dating, the type of people who attend these events are intelligent, busy and motivated professionals who are simply looking to meet someone new in a world that is increasingly hectic and often leaves little time for socializing.
