Speed dating
The speed dating was originated by a Rabbi Yaacov Deyo of Aish HaTorah, specifically for Jewish people who live in a big cities. This meeting idea was to have a lot of singles being able to meet a lot of other singles in the rotating matter within eight minutes each.
So, the singles spend the time at the table, talk and see if they are compatible, and after the eight minutes, they are moved to another table to meet someone new.
Each single is given a sort of “dating card’ , so they are able to make notes about each other and at the end of the session they submit the information to the organizers, who will then forward the information to those singles who are interested in each other.
If you forgot someone, since you’ve met so many singles, no worries!
The organizers will have all of the pictures and personal information on all of the “contestants”.
I think this is a great way to meet someone. In today’s high tech world, where computers had become our mediators between humans, and the internet had become the biggest empire for marketing, sales, and dating; the speed dating appears to be old fashion, however it is more personable and it gives you a realistic appraisal of your chances.
You have no “guilty” feeling about rejecting someone, because you know it is going to be over in about eight minutes; you do not have to explain yourself too much, or feel the pressure of the drag of being on the “whole” date; where it is too difficult to escape;
You get to meet the singles of your age group, as these types of events are set up according to your age group, in your local area; like a bar or a restaurant.
For those singles you find interesting and attractive, and for those you fell some kind of connection with, you are actually able to have a communication with.
You are not allowed to exchange personal information with your potential date, which will eliminate awkward moments between the singles. It also leaves out the embarrassment or discomfort of the blind/first date.
And, you are not the one who hands over your personal information to someone; you will have the organizers of these type of Speed Dating Services do it for you, on your behalf, and they will do it discretely.
Some of these speed dating services have actually lowered the time from the original 8 (eight) minutes, to basically just one minute. It may be a little too fast, but considering the world we leave in, where everything is a fast pace; and we do not have a lot of time for anything, we are already used to doing even the dating in a hurry.
Either way, you feel right the way if you can be romantically involved with the person; and/or weather or not you need to pursue it any further.
You also feel safe (as a women for instance) to meet the amount of men you are meeting;
It’s all done in a tasteful atmosphere, it’s organized and the organizers of these dating services have all the participants’ personal information.
It is also saves the time for games, that some single men or women like to play; you skip right through them. There is not enough time and energy around for that.
Now days the speed dating moved to the internet dating; as online dating service by the method of speed. You can sigh up online, and have the service to instantly send you large number of available singles, who are also interested in meeting this way.
It can be good to have a combination dating like this, you can have your online dating experience, and also the offline, and an outside organized dating experience.
This will allow you to have choices and variety of singles in your area.
