As u can make out with the tag its speed dating.. When Filip(from Belgium and a party lover) invited me to speed dating I had no clue how it wud be and what’s installed in it. So it on a Wednesday and its at 8.30 pm.. After work me and Filip drive to his place which is also the venue for the same. At his place it felt like a mini world bcoz the trainees there were from diff parts of the world too.
The night was wonderful for two reason one bcoz it still felt at home and 2nd the dinner was simply delicious.
After dinner v have some ice cream with pineapple and the guests for the event start to arrive.
The concept is simple all men talk to all women in turns for 2 mins, with total of 20 ppl that’s all the time is possible :) It can’t get better to get to know someone u don’t know and talk to them for 2 mins ( it can be either too much time or too less depends!)
So that’s how it goes with a evening with lot of chit chat and some new friends, to reach home at 11.30 pm and wondering how fast the evening passed by zoommmmmmmmm.
In case u are still want somemore info abt speeddating check some notes from internet and courtesy Filip to make it simple for me to just post it
“A 2005 study at the University of Pennsylvania of multiple HurryDate speed dating events found that most people made their choices within the first three seconds of meeting. Furthermore, issues such as religion, previous marriages, and smoking habits were found to play much less of a role than expected.
A 2006 study in Edinburgh, Scotland showed that 45% of the women participants in a speed-dating event and 22% of the men had come to a decision within the first 30 seconds. It also found that dialogue concerning travel resulted in more matches than dialogue about films.
Studies of speed dating events generally show more selectivity among women than among men. For instance, the Penn study reported that the average man was chosen by 34% of the women and the average woman was chosen by 49% of the men.[5] Men's tendency to select nearly every woman above a certain degree of attractiveness was confirmed by a study conducted in Munich, Germany, on 26 men and 20 women.
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. "SpeedDating", as a single word, is a registered trademark of Aish HaTorah. "Speed dating", as two separate words, is often used as a generic term for similar events.
The first speed-dating event took place at Pete’s Café in Beverly Hills in late 1998.[Soon afterward, several commercial services began offering secular round-robin dating events across the United States. By 2000, speed dating had really taken off, perhaps boosted by its portrayal in shows such as Sex and the City as something that glamorous people did. Supporters argue that speed dating saves time, as most people decide if they are romantically compatible very quickly, and first impressions are often permanent.”
