Speed up your chances of finding that someone special with speed dating
The concept behind it is that you attend a get together where there are an equal amount of both males and females, the females usually sit around tables and the males move around them spending around 10 minutes with each chatting and getting to know a little more about them. As the time is relatively short first impressions do count so if you are particularly shy then this might not be the best way to find a date. You are given a score card and you rate the person you are talking to so that later you can remember the ones that you have clicked with.
The simplest system when it comes to scoring requires you to either tick yes or no against the person, score cards are then analysed and if the person you have ticked yes has also ticked you, then you have a match and are given the details to make further contact with them. The biggest advantage to this is that it avoids embarrassment of being turned down. Some meetings will allow members to meet and chat after the meeting officially ends and here you can mingle informally.
Speed dating originally popped up in the USA during the early nineties where it met with great success and not surprisingly caught on over here, it is now one of the most popular forms of dating especially for the busy individual. It is one of the simplest forms of dating which has very positive results and is the UK's fastest growing craze when it comes dating.
