Speed dating was developed in the late 1990’s as a way for busy singles to meet and find romantic partners quickly. The trend rapidly became popular when TV shows like Sex and The City depicted accelerated meet-ups as urbane and chic. Since then, speed dating has become an American mainstay, with venues popping up in cities all across the country.
Pre-Dating Speed Dating, is the world’s largest speed dating service with monthly events in over 70 cities. The latest city to add to the mix is Reno, which will hold it’s premier event at the Vivoli Café at 6 P.M. on Monday, September 26th. This event is open to all single professionals between the ages of 25-39. Additional events for other age brackets will be held regularly.
A typical speed-dating event could be likened to a game of musical chairs, since participants do a lot of standing and changing seats at timed intervals. With six minutes allotted to each new pairing, couples may find the time goes by too fast, or in some cases—not fast enough. At least everyone still has a chair at the end.
“I met my husband at a speed-dating event,” says Eve, who now coordinates events in the San Diego area. “I didn’t expect to meet anybody, let alone the one! I couldn’t believe how fun and easy it was!”
Easy it is! For those who would otherwise balk over the proverbial bar scene way of meeting people, there is an alternative way. Pre-dating Speed Dating, facilitates all venues, so that guests don’t have to worry about taking that lonely walk back to the barstool. With some venues boasting up to 12 mini-dates in one evening, odds are favorable that everyone will have at least one person, for whom they feel compatible with. (More than two thirds of Pre-Daters match with at least one person.)
Pre-Dating Speed Dating guarantees that everyone at an event will meet one another, what happens next will depend on chemistry! All notes participants take on “match sheets” are considered confidential, so it is not likely that an attendee will feel rejected if attraction is not felt mutually.
Venues for speed dating events are typically upscale bars or restaurants, which benefit by doing business on otherwise slow nights. Hopefully a guest will visit the bar for a cocktail, or a couple may decide to stay for dinner. At the very least, a guest will be inspired enough to return another night.
