What is Speed Dating?
Speed dating, or speeddating as it is sometimes written, is a real fun, easy and
safe way to meet 15 or so people in one night. Speed
dating does away with all of the most common hurdles associated with dating -
the difficulty of finding new people, the awkwardness of the first meeting, and
the time wasted finding out that the person you're dating isn't right for you.
With speeddating, everyone is there to meet other people - just like you. You
have just enough time with each person to decide whether or not you would like
to see them again, and you only get put in contact with the people you want to
meet who also want to meet you again - no more awkward phone calls and no
having to avoid people you don't like.
What sort of people go speed dating?
Well, most people who go are professionals who want to improve their chances of meeting the right
person. They're generally normal, attractive people with varied interests who
normally mix with the same group of friends and work colleagues and rarely get
the opportunity to meet many new people in one go.
Speed Dating is great for those who lead busy lives, don't have much time and
want to meet new people in a fun, safe environment.
How did the evening work?
Upon arrival the hostesses (loads of s'es there) will give you a personalised badge with a number on it. Once the
dating part of the evening begins, those with badge number one sit at
table number one, those with badge number two at table number two and so on
After four minutes, the hostesses ring a bell, the girls stay seated and all the
guys move round one table. This continues (with a half time
break) until you have met everyone there.
How do I get in touch with them?
After the event, you sign in to the website and tick each of the people that
you may want to see again. You will then be able to see how many people have
entered their choices, who has ticked you and see details of anyone that you match with. After you
have entered your choices, you are sent an email immediately and you get a free SMS text direct to your mobile phone whenever
someone matches with you.
