The Evolving, Growing World Of Speed Dating

It all started with a concept, interestingly from a Rabbi. Yaacov Deyo came up with idea of speed dating to help Jewish people meet and marry (Wikipedia) in areas where they were minority. What he probably did not realize then was that he had revolutionized modern-day dating (Maybe he should have sought a patent?). Speed dating has not only caught on, it has been growing by leaps and bounds.

As would be expected, online speed dating would soon follow, which took the good Rabbi’s idea into cyberspace. Now, with the growth of niche dating speed dating too has been going niche. Today you will find specialized speed dating sites for tall men, animal lovers, pet lovers, vegans, karaoke, safari, and many more. Technically though, it was a niche dating method in that it began as a Jewish dating method. Maybe we should say it has gone full circle, from niche to mainstream and back to niche. Today, all manner of speed dating events exist both online and offline. Here’s an interesting story about this dating phenomenon: More on More People Using Speed Dating To Find Soul Mates

Speed dating has certainly proven to be one of the "cooler" new methods of meeting people. This method was originally devised for the ‘real world' and it has long since moved to the online dating realm.

That is a good thing because it is one of the most unique and helpful strategies for meeting someone that is compatible with you when you have a limited amount of time to do so. Speed dating allows you to briefly converse with scores of potential mates in order to find one that may be close to your compatibility level.

Of course, knowing the right speed dating questions will always be vital because time is most definitely of the essence when you are venturing into speed dating. Again, you really do not have a lot of time to converse with someone so you need to have effective speed dating questions available that can stoke the fires of interest.

The new popular dating method called "Speed Dating" actually started years ago in Jewish communities in the Middle East. In recent years speed dating has spread and become very popular throughout Europe and North America.

Speed daters rotate from station to station every few minutes and meet a new potential mate at each station. Each dater takes turns asking the other person at their station questions until the clock expires and then they move onto the next station. Each dater takes notes on each date so they can sort of who they do or do not want to see again after the speed dating session. At most speed dating events the woman stay at the same station for the entire session while the males move station to station to meet each woman.
