Speed dating

Speed dating is a formal dating process for singles. It is a fun way to meet a large number of new people in a short period of time.[1] Singles spend three-to-five minute periods of time with as many as 25 prospective partners.[1] The conversations are about whatever the two chose.[2] The events are held at places like coffee shops. There is usually a fee and the rules can vary.[3] The short period of time between couples ranges by event. Each participant has a sheet of paper on which they note "interested" or "not interested". The organizer of the event gathers the comments at the end of the event. They look for possible matches and after two or three days contact each participant to see if they are interested in dating the other person.[3] The price for the service ranges from $20 to $80.[4]
