Dating is one of the most popular of social engagements and seems never to go out of date. The boy-meets-girl scenario is repeated over and over again, without anyone tiring of the activity. However, this doesn’t mean that for some social dating as most of us understand it, can’t become…, well, dated. For the socially innovative types, speed dating is one of the newer dating formats.
As the name implies, speed dating doesn’t waste any time on the too time-consuming formalities. A quick assessment of the dating candidate, with speedy, to-the-point interviewing techniques is all it take to determine their date-worthiness. Some speed dating clubs set a maximum of ten or fifteen minutes during which the candidates are allowed to interview each other.
