For Singles Sick Of The Dating Scene The Speed Dating LA Way Can Be The Answer

By Joanna Walsh


Given how fast-paced today's world is, it's no wonder that so many single people struggle so mightily to meet new companions. Many of the old places where people used to meet are no longer viable, leaving many single men and women without any reasonable outlets for serious encounters that amount to more than just "hooking up" at a bar or club. Fortunately for Los Angeles singles, they have an opportunity to try the new speed dating LA services that have helped so many others like them to find serious relationships.

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.

As for the process, it is fairly straightforward. All of the men and women meet in one designated spot and are supervised by their host. Each woman sits at a table, with a man sitting across from her. Once the host gives the signal, the date begins and lasts for five minutes.

During that encounter, the couple is encouraged to talk about whatever interests them. They can ask questions of one another, share life details, or simply sit and stare at each other uncomfortably - though that last one will usually be considered a failed encounter by most participants. After five minutes, the bell will ring again and all the men will move to the next table while the women remain where they are. This continues until every man has had the opportunity to sit with and engage each of the women in the room.

Once the process ends, match cards are handed out. Participants note on these cards which of their encounters they enjoyed the most, and the hosts use that information to match up people who chose each other on their respective cards. The next day, those participants receive the contact details for the person they chose, which allows them to pursue more natural dates if they choose to do so.

In many instances, dating groups are organized by various age categories, most often centered around age. That is usually designed to ensure that there is some age-based degree of common interest on the part of all the participants, to enhance the potential success of the event.

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.
