More Information on Speed Dating

What makes speed dating different from the typical bar scene is that participants have the same objective – to find a date, a serious relationship, or some new friends to socialize with. Speed dating eliminates the frequent complications associated with dating – the difficulty of finding new people, the awkwardness of the first meeting, the time wasted finding out that the person you’re dating isn’t right for you. Speed dating replaces the old way of dating. Forget computer dating, traditional dating agencies, internet chat rooms and newspaper personal ads. You can spend a fortune, invest a lot of time and effort and then when you finally get to meet face-to-face, your expectations were different.

Speed dating provides a safety net. Our speed dating events are held at a supervised, public location here in the Bismarck and Mandan area. There is no long distance traveling to meet someone who may or may not have presented themselves truthfully over the internet. There is no worry about meeting a blind date in unknown surroundings.

There are several other advantages with speed dating. The biggest advantage of speed dating is that it is time efficient, by enabling you to meet someone face-to-face and see if there is a potential spark between the two of you. No wasting of time emailing back and forth or lengthy telephone conversations (and perhaps incurring long distance charges), to try to determine if you connect with that person.

Next, speed dating eliminates the fear of rejection. No one has to work up the courage to approach a person of the opposite sex and try to strike up a conversation. Even if you do think you can summon the courage to approach them, you have no idea if that person is available. Another perk of speed dating is that by providing a structured interaction, a shy person may find it easier to participate in or even initiate a conversation.

Speed dating also allows singles to meet a number of new people in one speed dating event. It is not always easy to meet other singles. Due to busy schedules and real life obligations, meeting people can feel like an impossible goal. At organized activities, you may meet other singles, but it still may feel like a tense and/or awkward situation. At our speed dating events you will meet more singles than you would meet on a normal dating night. Finding the right ‘match’ is a numbers game. The more dates you go on, the better chance you have to meet that special someone.

Speed dating levels the playing field for men and women. Men do not have to play their traditional role as the aggressor and both men and women do not need to listen to and become frustrated with tacky pick up lines. Everybody is at the speed dating event for the same reason – to meet new people.
