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.
For those unfamiliar with the concept, it is not entirely new. The rapid-style of organized dates has been around for awhile and has even been used on television and in film. For those who have never read about it, however, it certainly might seem strange. Still, the process is tremendously successful for those who take it seriously.
First of all, you need to know that security and safety are of the utmost importance. Personal contact information is kept anonymous until people express an interest in sharing. That helps to protect every participant from being harassed in any way by someone they've shown no interest in.
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.
Various forms of demographic separations are used to group singles together for this process, with the most common being age. That puts people in their twenties, thirties, or forties with one another, presumably to provide a greater opportunity for common life experiences and 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.
