Are you
but too busy to search for love? Then you need to try the latest dating phenomenon that is sweeping across the UK -
.
Speed dating involves men and
meeting in a room and finding out as much as they can about possible partners in
minutes.
It's proving very
with Britain's young people who find that they haven't got
to meet that special one.
At a speed dating event you are given
to talk, one on one, with a member of the opposite
.
Then a
is rung and you move to another
and start chatting again.
By the end of the evening you will have spoken with up to
men or women!
If, by the end of a conversation, you fancy the person or would like to see them again, you write it down on
.
Then, if the other person also fancies you, the organisers will contact you with their details.
But is three minutes long enough to make an impression and work out if you want to see someone
?
Research suggests that chemistry can be felt within the first
of meeting someone, and that is what speed dating is all about, knowing
if you are going to like someone.
And what about
? Is it possible to make a good judgment in such a short time?
After all, people say you can't hurry love.
However, Britain will soon have its first
from a speed date.
So, if you are on a mission to find Mr or Miss Right, what have you got to lose?
At worst, you still go home on your own. But at best, the person of your
could be just three minutes away.
