subject: About Online Speed Dating for Singles [print this page] Like virtually everything else, the world of dating keeps changing and evolving. Now with a click of the mouse, you can meet dozens of men or women within a few minutes. Welcome to the world of online speed dating for singles.Like almost every other dating and matchmaking concept out there, speed dating began offline. The person credited to the creation of this dating method is Rabbi Yaacov Deyo. He designed speed dating, also known as 8 minute dating, as a way for Jewish singles to find marriage partners.The objective of speed dating, as the name suggests, is to help singles find long-term relationships and marriage partners in the shortest time possible.Since its inception around 1998, this dating method has grown by leaps and bounds and has even been featured in movies. Online speed dating for singles is simply its digital version.Whether offline or online, the basic model of this dating method is the same. Assuming a heterosexual event (there are events for same-sex too), an equal number of singles from each sex meets at a designated venue. This could be a bar, club, hall, inn or other place.Now, each couple is given a short time; three to eight minutes is usually the standard; to talk and ask questions. When the time is up the couples rotate until each person has had a chance to meet all potential mates. Each person then submits names of people they would like their contact information given to. If two names correspond, there is match.The idea behind this matchmaking method is that it takes but the first few minutes for a couple to "click". This is true to a certain extent; virtually anyone can tell you about a happily married couple of whom one had to chase the other for months or even years before the chased finally decided the chaser was the soul mate after all.Online speed dating for singles has two distinct advantages over the "traditional" version. One is that there is no traveling required to attend an event, which saves time and money. If you have a webcam (which come at a very low cost), you can speed date in the comfort of your own home. The other advantage is that online speed dating services do also organize real-life events so you get the best of both worlds.Further, online speed dating for singles helps do away with the much of long process associated with Internet dating. You don't have to fill out lengthy profiles, and then email back and forth for weeks or months only to later find out that chemistry is not there.
