If you have dated unsuccessfully and feel frustrated, speed dating might be right for you. Speed dating is a fairly new phenomenon that allows singles to have 10-15 minutes to interview a potential date. Usually, speed dating is an event involving many singles in one location.

What Have You Got To Lose?

For many people who are dating time is of the essence, right? Life is too short to spend it alone and speed dating offers a safe and efficient way to meet potential life mates.

Take a Friend

Because speed dating is organized matchmaking why not take a friend with you? Having a wing man or wing lady may help take some of the stress out of meeting new people and makes it more fun.

Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down

Because you are meeting several people in one outing and only spending a little bit of time with each person it makes it easier to say yes or no. Some people find it hard to reject others, but with the speed dating model it makes it easier to let someone down easily and painlessly. 

Friendly and Professional

Speed dating can also be fun because it allows you to meet other professional singles who are looking for dates and mates. Think of speed dating as a day of clothing shopping. You can “try on” the idea of dating different people and see how it feels. Consider taking a quick photo of your speed date interviews so you can review at the end of the evening. Like or not like? It’s up to you.

Location Matters

There are plenty of Speed Dating companies to help you find Mr. or Mrs. Right. The only downside to speed dating is that you need to live in an urban or at least densely populated part of the world to have access to such a service. The cost of an evening of speed dating can be anywhere from $20 to $50 per event.
