How does it work?

Matchmaking has been a dating and marriage practice for centuries, but American speed dating has been around since 1999, when a rabbi and his students put a turbo-style twist on the tradition of introducing Jewish singles. The event was a success because the young men and women involved were able to meet more potential partners in one night than they would have in one month of typical dating.
Finding that perfect mate is on many people's to do list, although, many of the people that are single are so busy making ends meet that it can hinder their search. Internet dating is very popular, but it lacks the personal touch that meeting people in person has. There is a rise in the interest in speed dating as an alternative to going to singles bars.
Speed dating is not complicated or expensive. It is when an organizer sets up an event of around 25 people that would like to meet others that are single and looking to find someone. The rules are pretty basic; the women/men sit at tables in a dating scenario. Every five or six minutes, a whistle is blown and men/women switch tables to meet another woman/man. All participants have a scorecard and mark their matches as a “yes” or a “no”. At the end of the event, all scorecards are returned to the host. Next day, you will receive your perfect matches which is, if both of you marked “yes” on the score card. You will have an opportunity to contact your perfect matches and plan another meeting.
You will have a fun night. Just come out and try it!!!
