speed-dating-image2I have friends who love speed dating, the drinks prehaps? ; they can’t get enough of it. Then I have other friends who want nothing to do with it.

Since the concept seems to be divided I dug into the issue a bit to see about the pros and cons of speed dating. Tell me hat do you think?

Pros of Speed Dating

* Efficiency -  You meet several new people in just one night instead of over the course of weeks or months.
* Speed dating events are usually held in bars. A few drinks help take the edge off.
* You can go with your friends, which makes for a fun night out regardless of the people you meet.
* No one has to know you went unless you tell them.

Cons of Speed Dating

* It feels forced.
* Everyone around you can hear your conversations.
* Other than age and gender, the people on the other side of the table haven’t been matched to you at all.
* If you go with friends, you and your friend might end up liking the same person.
