Does Speed Dating Work?
According to a recent article by Carolyn Campbell at DiscoverHealth.com, speed dating has proven to be fairly successful, with approximately half of all participants coming away with a potential match. While this figure may seem a bit high considering you only get to meet your potential match for seven minutes, the success may indeed come from the fact that the arrangement is still a fairly “unconventional” method to meet a potential mate.
How Speed Dating Works
The rules of speed dating are quite simple. A group of singles gathers at a cafe or similar venue. Armed with a nametag, a scorecard and their sparkling personality, couples are paired up to begin their first date. They are allowed to discuss anything, except their careers, or where the live.
Following seven minutes of conversation, a bell is rung, and the men move on to meet their next date. Think of it as a flirt’s version of musical chairs.
Following each date, participants mark on a card whether they would have an interest in meeting their date again. If a mutual interest is noted, speed-dating organizers provide each party with the other’s phone number.
