Research says that it takes between ninety seconds and four minutes to decide if we fancy someone, which could explain the new craze in speed dating. You no longer have to sit through an awful date for hours with someone who you just don't click with.
Speed dates are organised events, usually held in bars or restaurants; you get three minutes to chat to each person on the night and if you hit it off with anyone, you can arrange to chat further afterwards.
With more than 7 million singles in the UK alone, speed dating (as seen on Sex and the City) offers a more hopeful solution to the dating game, for those who are exasperated at trying to meet their ideal partner.
Winging its way across the Atlantic, and set to take Britain by storm, speed dating offers the perfect answer to the complex world of dating, with the common problems of other dating methods being avoided. The innovative approach allows you to meet, date and evaluate as many people in one hour as you would be likely to date in one year!
