What is Speed Dating?
Speed dating is a concept that allows you to meet potential new love interests in a fun, friendly way. While at the speed dating event, you spend anywhere from 3-5 minutes with every person that is attending. Within that time, you will need to figure out if they are someone that you may want to get to know better on a date.
Based on the conversation, you put a yes or no check on their card. After the event, the organizers will match you with others that also have an interest in you.
You want to use your time the best you can; that is why having several speed dating questions ready to go will help you get to know those you talk to know if you want to get to know them better after the event potentially.
