In today's busy and complex world of online communication and high-pressure lives, finding a companion can often seem like an exercise in frustration. Most traditional venues for meeting other singles have seemingly gone the way of the dodo, making it harder than ever to find any relationship that might eventually become serious. If you're a Los Angeles single trying to meet someone new, you might benefit from trying the speed dating LA is now making famous.
Speed dating is not a completely new concept, of course. It's even been featured in several television shows and movies. For most singles, however, the idea of having a series of multiple mini-dates in rapid succession can sound a little odd. In practice, however, its success rate is far greater than one might first guess.
These speed dates are engineered to ensure safety and a requisite degree of anonymity. There is a reason for that, of course, since most singles don't want to open themselves up for the possibility of being harassed until they have at least had the opportunity to determine whether they are willing to accept that risk.
From start to finish, the process is easy to navigate. The participants arrive at a designated event spot that is supervised by professional hosts. One man and one woman are seated at each table in the room, facing one another. Once the host rings the bell, a five-minute date begins.
That five minutes is all the time that each couple has to get to know one another or decide that they have no interest in knowing the person. They generally use this time to ask each other questions or share personal details. Of course, many just sit and stare, particularly if they know right away that there is no attraction. Once the five minutes conclude, the signal for the next date is given and each man moves to another table. That process repeats until every man and woman have sat together for the allotted five minute date period.
At the end of the night, participants are given match cards, and they mark down which of the dates they liked the most. The hosts go through the cards and find the men and women who picked one another. Those "couples" then receive their favorite person's contact information the next day, and may choose to pursue dates outside of that controlled environment if they so desire.
Most of these groups provide a variety of meetings targeted toward different age groups. These often include groups for people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and even older. The underlying assumption in the age groupings is that those separations tend to encourage common interests.
Yes, it's a bit quirky and may seem somewhat silly at first glance. The fact is, however, that singles who have participated in speed date meetings have reported almost uniform satisfaction with the results they've achieved. Many have even gone on to experience long-term serious relationships with people they met at this type of event, a fact that only serves to demonstrate the tremendous possibilities this dating method can offer in any single's life.
