Finding Love on a Budget = Speed Dating

When you're looking for love and money is tight, the usual ways of meeting other local singles probably aren't going to cut it. Meeting men or women at a bar or club usually requires that you buy a drink or two, or pay a cover charge, and chances are you're not going to find your perfect mate. You could try to meet someone at the grocery store or your local Starbucks but knowing who is single can be difficult and your choices limited.

There's a way that you can meet a selection of eligible singles in your age group, in a single night - Speed Dating. For an average price of about $40 you can meet 10, 20, 30 or more single men and women at just one speed dating event. Speed dating for those who have never heard the term, is an organized gathering of single men and women where the female participants are assigned tables and the male participants move from table to table at a set interval. At most speed dating events you will find yourself "dating" each participant of the opposite gender for an average of 3 to 8 minutes, generally more participants equals shorter dates.

It may seem strange to think that you could gather enough information in a 3 to 8 minute "date" to form an opinion about the other person, but the idea of speed dating is not to find out everything about each of the people you are dating, it's to find out enough to decide if you would like to meet that person again perhaps in a real date, or even just communicate with them one-on-one on the telephone or email.

At the end of a speed dating event participants are asked to fill out selection cards or submit their selections through the website of the company who organized the event. When two people select each other they are given the email address and/or phone number of the participants they matched with. It's now up to the participants who matched to contact each other and perhaps move forward with a regular date.

So, if you're looking for a new way to meet a variety of local singles, check out a local speed dating company and register for an exciting night of speed dating - I'm sure you'll agree its worth every penny.
