Online Speed Dating: Is It Right For You?

October 18th, 2007 · No Comments

Online dating seems to be all the rage these days, and there are so many different types of online dating communities out there that it seems like it should not be too hard for people to find a mate out there on the World Wide Web. Sadly enough, that can often be a little too much information and a little bit too much exposure for some people, and there are other things developing as far as online dating that are deserving of a little bit of information and online speed dating is one of those things.

What is Online Speed Dating?

Online speed dating is very much similar to regular speed dating, but obviously done over the web. This can be done with an internal chat system for some online speed dating sites and others may use a regular web based instant messenger system. Some of these sites use regular online dating profiles but this in itself is not actual online speed dating.

Speed dating gives people the opportunity to go through a whole bunch of people who meet their interests and then take a few minutes to ’spend time’ with each one of them. This makes sure that those who have signed up get maximum exposure to people who may or may not meet their interests, so they get to talk to more than one person in a set period of time. In theory, one of these people will be the right person and more communication and perhaps even a real live date should follow the speed dating session.

The Downside to Online Speed Dating

As with everything, online speed dating does have its downside. First of all, this gives a way for the weirdoes who flock about the internet to creep into a trusting person’s good graces. This is why it is always important to practice internet safety and not give out too much sensitive or personal information to a person who you do not know.

In addition, it is easy to come across the wrong person with speed dating, even though your speed dating session may have made it feel like they were the right person. No matter how far technology has come the internet is a very impersonal way to meet someone and online speed dating is even more impersonal still.

Is online speed dating the way to go for you? Only a test run can help to tell for sure. Check out one of the online speed dating sites and see how they hold up to your test.
