The new popular dating method called "Speed Dating" actually started years ago in Jewish communities in the Middle East. In recent years speed dating has spread and become very popular throughout Europe and North America.
So here's how speed dating works. The daters rotate from station to station every few minutes and meet a new potential mate at each station. They take turns asking the other person at their station questions until the clock expires and then they move onto the next station.
Most speed dating venues have a basic way they set up the event. At most speed dating events the women stay at the same station for the entire session while the males move station to station to meet each woman.
A unique feature of speed dating is that participants are not allowed to ask each other out directly. Only those daters that have expressed mutual interest in each other will be given contact information to get in touch with their potential mate outside of the speed dating arena. This is a plus for those people who have a hard time handling rejection since they never have to deal with it face-to-face. Of course there is a possibility that no one will be interested in seeing you again. In this case, you would leave the speed dating event feeling much worse than before the event and you'd be unlikely to attend a speed dating event in the future.

Most speed dating services charge between $25 and $60 per person. The fee normally includes a couple of free drinks or a meal or snacks. Most speed dating sessions have between 50 and 150 participants, half male and half female.
One negative fact of speed dating is that you are forced to spend your time on "dates" with people you are not attracted to and have no interest in wasting both your time and money. Of course it's only a few minutes and will be well worth it if you end up meeting someone special at that event.
All in all speed dating is a great way to get out there and meet some really interesting people without taking up a ton of your time. Who knows you may even meet that someone special!
