Speed dating (week 7)

Ahmad Afandi

Speed dating is an organized way of matchmaking where by it focuses on meeting many people in a short period of time. Each “date” ussualy last three to nine minutes depnding on organiser. People who join speed dating meet face to face with each other and talk about anything they want on the short date. In my opinionn speed dating is a great way to meet new people even though its not for love intrest. Speed dating makes finding a partner less of a hassle then trying to meet people online. Another beneefit that i find is that you can see the nonverbal clues from your date so you know if the date is going well or not . face to face also can make you see if you really connect with your date. In a speed dating enviroment you can stay focus to the person you are talking to.i too wish i could join speed dating one day.

Speed dating is a fun, friendly and the easiest way to meet new person and its a method of meeting potential partners in which each participants has only a few minutes to talk to each other before being moved on to the next one. At the end of the event, participants decide which dates they would like to see again. Most of us have only seen speed dating in movies and TV shows, where it's portrayed as possibly the most godawful exprience on the planet. The benefits of speed dating is, if you're a busy professional and it's hard to go out for an active dating life, you can get to enjoy your quick conversation with attractive potential matches that you like.

1. "An organized social activity in which people seeking romantic relationships have a series of short conversations with potential partners in order to determine whether there is mutual interest."
   Do you guys know what this all about? This is the definition of speed dating or known as "Super fast date". I've never been in speed dating before so I don't have any experience about this.But what I know is, speed dating has been a culture in a love story. It is something like a single party. Single people meet the other single people and get to know each other.Speed Dating is ideal for those who leads a busy life and don't have time to meet people. Sometimes these people get to know each other personally or it can be from their friends when groups of friends and work colleagues sit together and they matchmaking you with another person, or you just can take his or her number and personally text them and get to know each other with a deeper conversation. But there is pro and cons here, the good thing is you can save time looking for a "lover" but the bad thing is you don't know who they really are, their background, their family, and so on, so it can lead to many consequences. I think it is better for us to know each other formally so we can avoid unexpected consequences. And the last thing is "Love is not a simple thing that you can play with". So be careful and be merry!

Speed dating is something that has permeated American culture so deeply that even those who aren't looking for a life-long partner know what it is. It is meeting many people in a short amount of time in hopes of finding date. That may sound like a desperate way to find a date, but it is more effective than we think. Speed dating is easier on people because there is no drama included. Unlike online dating, you have five minutes to talk with a person before you decide to go on a date. That means five minutes to have a one on one conversation. Though five minutes is not enough time to get to know a person, you will know enough about them to see if you want to go on date with them. No more meeting someone who is nothing like their online profile. Instead, you can approach a date with more confidence because you have already met the person.

Speed dating is when you have a date where there's different people sitting on different tables. Every few seconds when you are told to switch, you switch tables. So you get to know more than one person in one night and see who you might like. It is quite interesting because you don't really get to choose who you are going to go on a date with or who you're going to get to know. It's different compared to a traditional date. On a traditional date, you know who you're going on a date with. So that ticks off the appearance attraction. How ever with speed dating, you have to get to know the person regardless of how they look. I see it as an effective way of dating because you might like the person for his or her personality over the looks rather than not liking the person for the looks having to not meet or having a conversation with the person.
