Why Speed Dating Could Make A Difference In Your Dating Scene

By Chris Channing

1998 brought about a lot of things, more people using the internet, the end of 1997, and speed dating! The first speed dating event was held in California in 1998 for single persons to meet other singles in their area and age range. You spend a short amount of time with each person, and then move on. If you find someone you like, you can contact them later.

One main thing that keeps speed daters interested is that they don't have to commit. They get the chance to meet one person, have a quick chat, and then carry on. If you find a person you like, then you can explore commitment, but if not, then everything evens out.

You can relax, and not stress about being the perfect person. Chances are your speed date companion of that moment doesn't care too much about it anyway, and is probably just as carefree. Its meant to be fun, not as uptight as a formal date can get.

You can pry and be nosey all you want. You may never see that person again, and you don't have to spend an hour or more with him or her. Since a single long date spans over the course of a few hours, its awkward to ask a bunch of questions right away.

The 4th reason on why you should give speeding dating a chance, is because you have nothing to lose. Honestly, it could go two ways; you find someone, or you don't. Either way, it's a great opportunity to meet a lot of people, and have fun. It could be the experience of your lifetime, and you shouldn't pass it up!

Maybe you are cautious about trying speed dating. You may not have a chance with anyone that meets your "criteria". Even if you are Jewish, gay, bi, lesbian, or transsexual, there are speed dating events for those groups of people! You don't have worry about not meeting someone you like, because there are always special events for special interest groups. It is important to find a date that you are compatible with, not someone who is the complete opposite of what you want in a boyfriend or girlfriend.
