Just A Quickie: The Rise And Rise Of Speed Dating!

By: Ricky Young Home | News-and-Society | Relationships


UK speed dating is one of the most popular ways to meet people these days. Years ago, individuals looking to use this particular matchmaking service or something similar would have been laughed at, but in this day and age it's swiftly becoming one of the most popular ways to meet people.

It's no wonder when you consider that individuals have very little time to have a life let alone meet other UK singles through conventional means such as going to bars. Modern life can be extremely hectic with longer working hours and more stressful job roles. Modern men and women are also unwilling to waste time fending off the advances of people that they are not attracted to, and who can blame them when UK speed dating is an option now? Why waste precious UK dating time?

UK speed dating events, for those of you unfamiliar with the concept, are held up and down the country in town halls, major event arenas and any given number of other venues. They usually consist of several rounds of anywhere between three and seven minutes. If it is a heterosexual UK speed dating event then every woman will spend a few minutes with every man. In those few minutes, every participant in the event will know whom he or she likes. They have nothing to lose because spending three minutes with someone you don't like is nowhere near as bad as spending a whole night with them on the UK dating scene! Of course, there are various UK dating events for homosexuals, various religions, ethnicities and so on. As a result, there's something for everyone on the UK speed dating scene!

Why waste time resisting the advances of someone you aren't attracted to in a bar when you can meet several people far more efficiently and skip the hassle? UK speed dating may be used to get dates for individuals, but it began as a far more purposeful pursuit in 1998. It was a matchmaking service, but for marriage rather than having a bit of fun on the UK dating scene!

Speed dating was invented by Rabbi Yaacov Deyo of Aish Ha Torah in Beverly Hills in the late 1990s. Far from being a dating game, the Rabbi had designed the matchmaking service as a marriage system. The Jewish singles in the area were encouraged to attend Pete's Caf late in 1998 to meet other eligible Jews in the hope that some would meet their match on the back of the formal introductions. Little was the Rabbi to know that it would catch on and prove to be a huge hit in the local area and then spread throughout the US before hitting the UK dating scene! Although Rabbi Deyo actually trademarked speed dating (written as one word), millions of organizations around the world have taken advantage of his idea and used it to facilitate dating.

The popularity of speed dating all stemmed from that one night. The word soon got out about the new dating trend and by the year 2000 there were several providers in the United States offering regular events. The matchmaking service attracted so much attention that the press soon caught on and its existence was publicised the world over. UK speed dating soon took off and became as big an industry as it was in the USA. It has gone from strength to strength since then and now entering "UK speed dating" into a search engine will bring up almost 3 million results!

UK speed dating has been boosted by the fact that speed dating as appeared on a number of TV shows, including The Bill and Sex and the City. These appearances have only served to highlight the fact that more and more people are looking for super efficient ways to meet people. First impressions do matter on the UK dating scene, in these events at least, and millions of people have met their future partners as a result of them.

UK dating has certainly been bolstered in this decade as a result of the existence of speed dating, but it is time to take it to a whole new level...
