The Practicalities Of Speed Dating In Birmingham

By: Michiel Van Kets Home | News-and-Society | Dating


These days who doesn't know someone who met their partner from a speed dating service, online dating, a chat room, dating agency, or some other kind of arranged matchmaking service?

If you've never heard of speed dating then you must have been going around with your senses switched to off! Not exactly the latest craze, as it has been around for some time now, it's still a new enough phenomenon to grab people's attention.

It's a great concept and the reason behind its success is due to its simplicity. Speed dating allows you to meet several people of the opposite sex in a short space of time. If you don't hit it off in the limited time period you have to impress, then move onto the next person and maybe this time you'll get lucky. It's perfect for those who don't have the time, or the inclination, to hit the bars and clubs on a weekend.

There are even speed dating nights that are geared towards people with specific interests in common, this could be a certain age group, those who speak a common language, sports or a particular interest, or based on what religion you are.

Events are generally held in chic bars and stylish restaurants. After you arrive and have registered you're given a name badge with a number on it, and a score card, then someone will explain how it all works before the clock starts ticking. The room is set up with small tables set for two, the women usually stay seated at the same table and the men rotate, with only 3-5 minutes to spend at each table you have to be fast to make an impression and find out if you 'click'.

Once the signal is given it means your time is up and you have to move on. There can be anything from 20 to 50 people to chat with at each event so it's you will meet at least one person you like the look of.

Your score card is for making notes about each date - whether you might like to see them again, are more than a little interested, or never in a million years. At the end of the night this is handed over to the host, within a day or two you receive notification of any matches and are sent their email addresses to do what you want with. It's all very simple and you can email for a while if you are shy just to get to know them a bit better before going out on an actual date.

If you fancy a fun night out in Birmingham speed dating with the opportunity of meeting loads of gorgeous new people then this is the answer if you are an active single whose social life is limited by a busy daily life. Go along with an open mind and don't take it too seriously and you're guaranteed a good time. Chosen venues are the perfect place to meet new people, do some networking and add to your circle of friends, if you do find someone special then it's a bonus.

If you're interested in speed dating Birmingham take a look online and you'll find plenty of events organized all over the city and surrounding areas. Events are held in any number of venues, from tapas bars and upmarket restaurants, to popular city clubs, lounge bars, and hotels and casinos.

Speed dating is a quick, safe and enjoyable way to meet your ideal partner and a good number of people get more than a couple of matches from a single night. You can secure a place at an event by giving them a call or booking online, you just pay for the price of the ticket which includes any entrance fees. Events are held in privately booked rooms so if you want to be incognito, don't worry †you are all there for the same reasons. Many people turn up by themselves, bring a friend along if you want some moral support, however you'll find everyone very friendly and approachable and there's time before and after the dating to socialize further.
