The Good and the Bad in Participating in a Speed Date E...
You might probably be already aware of what speed dating is as it has become a popular event in the dating scene lately. If you have not been into one yet, you should take the time to participate in the next event. You will be surprised at the amount of people that you will be meeting in an event like this. Before joining one however, read this article first and see what you can expect in joining a speed date event.
Speed dating is quite accessible for anyone who wants to try and this also helps people who are having a hard time dating. Some are probably busy with their work that they do not have time to meet other people, and some may just be clueless in finding dates. A speed date event is good for anyone who wants to find a date for them and here are some of the advantages in joining.
One, it is time efficient. You are only allowed to speak to a participant for about eight minutes and you are to try to get to know as much as you can about that person in the short time allotted. You will be able to gauge whether you are interested in a person from the first few minutes that you spend with them. You will be able to form your impression on the way the person spoke and presented him or herself to you. A speed date event is time efficient and you will surely get to know a lot of people in just an hour or so.
The next advantage of a speed date event is that you will know right off the bat if the person is worth pursuing or not. Although most of your decision will stem from your first impression, you’d still know inside you if the person is worth another date or not. Perhaps you don’t find the person in front of you attractive, then take it as a blessing that you only have 8 minutes to be with that person and you don’t have to converse with him/her any longer than that.
And the last advantage is the very comfortable environment. You must have already experienced a very awkward date where there is only the two of you; such a situation is avoidable in speed date events because you are around a group of people. You can even get your friends to join for fun. You will also feel safe knowing that there are many people around you as opposed to be being on a blind date with someone you have no idea of.
However, there are also disadvantages of speed dating. You must know that talking to a person for a few minutes is not enough to know the person well. All it can do is leave a lasting first impression which is not always right. And there are some people that won’t be able to express themselves enough within 8 minutes of conversation time. Another disadvantage of a speed date event is that you will base your decision mostly on physical appearance. There is always more to physical appearance and if you decide based on this, you might be letting go of a quality man or woman.
