I'm just curious if anyone has done this and how you find it compared to online dating?

I was watching a movie last night and they were doing this and it kind of got me thinking...if it is a numbers game of meeting so many people, wouldn't this be better?

Over the past few months there have been quite a number of threads on speed dating.

You have 8 minutes to respond to the thread, then you have to move on to the next thread.

I have never tried speed dating so my post may not be worth all that much.

However, the way I see speed dating is it is a time limited "cold call". I am not any good at "cold calling" (if I was I would be in sales instead of engineering ) which is why I prefer eHarmony over other dating sites.

I also see speed dating as re-enforcing the concept of judging someone in the first 15 seconds of meeting without knowing anything about them as a person, i.e. judging them purely on the physical aspects and if you got instant fireworks.

Maybe that is an indication that few people are interested in speed dating

I have not done it but I always was someone willing to try it.

Go in with it in the attude that its having fun and maybe you may get a friend at best....dont look at it as you have to come out of it with a boyfriend.

A common issue with it and has been addressed here is they set an age range of say 30-40 but you will find a number of people outside that ange range.
