Speed dating has become popular in the last few decades, in may ways its very similar to Swinging. Instead of going on full dates with someone that you may or may not hit it off with, speed dating offers you the chance to meet several people in just a matter of hours. The dates are short, typically under 10 minutes a piece, just enough time to get the basics out of the way and see if there is a stronger connection. Doing this face to face has plenty of advantages.
Not Relying On Photos
Photographs can be deceiving, especially when you’re relying on photos from online dating sites. Great lighting and positioning can make anyone look great. Meeting them in person however will eliminate the worry over false or deceiving photographs. You can’t hide in person.
Chemistry
Meeting people online can create a false sense of chemistry that may not be there once you meet in person. Speed dating allows you to meet several people in person and test the waters to see if the chemistry is there. If it isn’t you can just move on to the next person without feeling guilty or having invested a lot of time or energy in to a bad match.
No Pressure
Most speed dating sessions work by limiting the amount of time you have with each person. At the end of the event you write down the names of people you’d like to see again. From there the staff will help you exchange phone numbers or email addresses. Going this route allows you to just ignore the people you didn’t get along with and there is no expectation of a future date.
