Speed Dating is a formalized matchmaking process which has the purpose of encouraging eligible singles to meet greater number of new potential partners in a very short period of time. It is a brilliant exercise in conversation.

Men and women are rotated to meet each other over a series of short "dates" usually lasting 7 minutes. At the end of each interval, the organizer signals the participants to move on to the next date. Contact information has not be traded during the initial meeting, in order to reduce pressure to accept or reject a suitor to his or her face. But there is a confidential feedback form for match evaluation, communicated within 48 hrs.

Speed dating has some advantages over most other venues for meeting people, such as bars, discotheques or aperos. Everybody is purportedly there to meet someone. It is time-efficient, the structured interaction eliminates the need to introduce oneself. The event will, by necessity, be quiet enough for people to talk comfortably. Participants can come alone without feeling out of place; alternatively it is something that women who like to go out in groups can do together. Because the matching itself happens after the main part of the event, people do not feel pressured to select or reject each other in person. Feedback and gratification are delayed as participants must wait to get their results to come in.

The time limit ensures that a participant will not be stuck with a boorish match for very long, and prevents participants from monopolizing one another's time. A couple that decides they are incompatible early on will change to the next very soon. Participants will meet different "types", covering potentially hidden matches, they might not normally talk to in a club. On the other hand, the random matching precludes the various cues, such as eye contact, that people use in bars to preselect each other before chatting them up.

According to the New York Times, participants in speed dating experience an average of 2 - 3 in 10 matches. Online dating participants, in contrast, only find a compatible match with 1 in 100 or fewer of the profiles they study. As reported by the BBC - Science of Love, it only takes between 1.5 to 4 minutes of face-to-face interaction to determine attraction, which gives speed dating an advantage over online dating. There have been several studies of the round-robin dating systems themselves, as well as studies of interpersonal attraction that are relevant to these events. Studies found speed-dating data useful as a way to observe individual choices among random participants.

If the circle would be more exclusive, we host the rewarding Speed Dating-Coaching:
1) Q & A (ask anything about Speed Dating)
2) Input how to optimise Speed Dating (e. g. dating psychology, changing belief systems, conversation-strategies & -patterns, meditation ...)
3) Practical training advice or practice.
