BellaOnline Forums Relationships Dating Ever try speed dating?

Speed dating isn't for everybody but a few people genuinely like meeting new people and lining up a date this way. Numerous people like this technique because they get to encounter the people in person and speak with them instead of online or by going on a blind date.Your thoughts?

Though I have never personally tried it, I did conduct some research a while back for a speed dating article I was working on then.

I think that for some singles, speed dating is a reasonable avenue through which to meet a variety of new people and make new connections. It is especially useful if you happen to get paired up with someone that is totally wrong for you because at least you know that the awkward or uncomfortable encounter won't last nearly as long as it would if you were on a traditional date.

It might not be the answer for everyone but I do think that speed dating is at least worth a shot for most singles today who are tired of wasting their time on a seemingly endless series of bad dates. Speed dating gives singles an opportunity to get a little preview of what a real date would be like with the person they choose to go out with. This is not to say that a partner chosen from a speed dating experience is a sure thing but there is some reason to believe that the brief speed dating encounter might serve as a pretty good indication of how a lengthier date might turn out.

If anyone has actually tried it out personally, please share your experiences with us. I'm sure it would be helpful for those who can't decide whether or not to give speed dating a chance.

I think it's definitely worthy trying. But not as a sole source but combined with some other ways of meeting men. So, when you actually do it, u can meet somebody and it's not a waste of time.

I tried speed dating at least 4 times, and it was a lot of fun, it gets you out of the apartment during the week, you have a nice drink, get to know different people. It was also a good way to know that there are a lot of cool people out who are single too. And it is interesting to see how you may not know if you like somebody in seven minutes, but you definitively know if you don't like someone that fast, lol. It never came something out of it for me, apart from a couple of friendships, but it could have also worked. I recommend it, especially if you are outgoing and like people in general.
