Intrested In A Serious Relationship? Meet The Ideal Man/Woman by speeddater: 8:47pm On Dec 04, 2007
Consider the following scenario: You've worked hard all your life to get through university and then find a decent job to guarantee yourself financial stability. The problem is you never had time to meet or date along the way. So now what do you do? It's time to set your personal life in order and begin your search for the man/woman of your dreams and live happily ever after. However, the predicament is that you're in your 30s, and you still don't have the time to meet men/women, nor do you know where to start. Maybe it's time to consider the art of speed dating as a viable option.

By a certain age, most men/women -- those looking for a serious relationship -- no longer enjoy going out to dance clubs or bars to meet potential mates. They feel that they no longer fit into the scene and that the men/women who frequent the clubs are just too immature. So like most men/women, you skip the bar scene and look to the most common alternatives used to meet a potential mate: blind dates and personal adverts in newspapers and magazine or websites. The good thing about these services is that they allow you to screen and search for the ideal person that best suits your interests while remaining anonymous. The problem with blind dates and personals is that they do not satisfy a very crucial requirement needed in order for two people to hit it off and see each other again: physical attraction and chemistry. That's because in the case of personals, you don't actually meet the individual in person until later on. This requires you to invest a lot of your time with a person that you might not be attracted to. Or in the case of a blind date, you waste time with someone you're simply not interested in, out of sheer courtesy.

With speed dating, you can meet single women who fit your criteria. Obviously, you should be honest about your own specifics like age, education level, religion, ethnicity, your ideal woman and what have you.

So, what is speed dating?
Speed dating is a formalized matchmaking process or dating system whose purpose is to encourage people to meet a large number of new people. Its origins are credited to Rabbi Yaacov Deyo of Aish HaTorah, originally as a way to help Jewish singles meet and marry.

Speed Dating is ideal for those of us who lead busy lives, don't have much time and want to meet new people in a fun, safe environment. speed dating saves time, as most people decide if they are romantically compatible very quickly, and first impressions are often permanent. Men and women are rotated to meet each other over a series of short "dates",
At the end of the event participants submit to the organizers a list of who they would like to provide their contact information to. If there is a match, contact information is forwarded to both parties. Contact information cannot be traded during the initial meeting, in order to reduce pressure (especially on women) to accept or reject a suitor to their face.

we guarantee you'll meet someone you want to see again, or your next event is free!

Speed dating has some obvious advantages over most other venues for meeting people, such as bars, discotheques, etc. in that everybody is purportedly there to meet someone, they are grouped into compatible age ranges, it is time-efficient, and the structured interaction eliminates the need to introduce oneself. And unlike many bars, a speed dating 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 event, people do not feel pressured to select or reject each other in person.

All you need to do is turn up at venue at the right time! You'll see signs pointing you to the private area where the event will take place. You'll be greeted by your host who will make sure you've got a drink and explain how the evening will work. Before the event is under way you will be given a personal match card where you write down the names of your dates and put either a yes or no next to each name. There is no limit to the number of "yes’s" you choose and your choices are just between you and the matchmaker. If you have put a "yes" to someone who has also put a "yes" to you, that's a match! You will receive an email the next day giving you the names and contact details of the people you matched with. You take it from there!
What makes speed dating different from the typical bar scene is that participants have the same objective — to meet a potential companion.

speed dating has all the ingredients needed to ensure that everyone is satisfied. First, you can be sure that everyone is there for the same reason: to meet a potential mate.
Second, before committing any of your valuable time, you'll know off the bat if there's any chemistry between the two of you. Finally, because the rules of the game are understood by all participants, it is okay and acceptable to ask personal questions like: What do you do?
Do you want to have children in the future?
Have you ever been married before?
Is sex important to you?
What are your hobbies?
What issues are important to you?

And the greatest part of all is if a participant doesn't satisfy your requirements, all you need to say is "Next!" because you have 9 to 19 other women/men waiting to speak with you.

Give speed dating a try. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. If you don't meet someone right away, don't despair.
Even if you don't end up meeting a lover, you're at least sure to meet a lot of female acquaintances, who might, in turn, introduce you to their circle of friends.

How do I book a ticket to an event?

Send a mail of interest to dam651@hotmail.com and a representative will send you a mail containing payment information, event venue and likely date.

Why do I need to book in advance?
We need to ensure an even balance of men and women. As a professional organization, we also need to ensure that the event is not oversubscribed.

What happens when i arrive?
They will sign you in, give you a scorecard, a name badge and a pen, then invite you to have a drink. When everyone has arrived one of our organizers will do a short introductory welcoming speech, explain some of the logistics and answer any questions. Then the dating begins. Usually women will stay seated while men will rotate every six minutes when the bell rings. After each date participants mark on a scorecard whether they would like to see that person again. At the end of the evening everyone submits their scorecards to the organizer for matching.

I didn't get any matches. Does that mean I can come again for free?

Unfortunately not. We cannot guarantee whether or not you will receive matches. If you tick anyone you have met at a Speed dating event you have indicated that you would like to see someone again and therefore do not qualify for a free ticket to a future event. The guarantee does offer a free ticket to anyone who chooses not to tick anyone at one of our events.


What sort of people go speed dating?

Most speed daters are professional e.g busy bankers who want to meet more people on the weekends. They're generally normal, attractive people who just haven’t met the right person through their work or immediate circle of friends.



Can I go to more that one speed dating event?

You can go to as many as you like. Most people at each event will be new to speed dating so it will give you more chances to meet the right person.

How do I claim a free ticket under the guarantee?

After an event you need submit your score card with no tick on it meaning you didnt meet anyone you would like to see again. Our rep will contact you with information concerning the next speed dating event

I can't make an event. Can I send a friend use my ticket?

Yes, provided your friend is the same sex. If your friend is the opposite sex we may still be able to help you but please check with us first so that the event won’t have an unbalanced number of men wishing to meet women.

for more information please send a mail to dam651@hotmail.com and we will reply you promptly.
