Those who are stuck in a dating rut or looking to meet someone that isn't a 'friend of a friend' can find totally new acquaintances at these events — and even if they don't exchange phone numbers at the end of the night, a great time can still be had by all! Speed dating is often compared to that other dating phenomenon of our generation — online dating. But one of the key things missing from online dating is that crucial real-life chemistry that can ignite between two people that wouldn't ordinarily pick each other out on a dating site.
Online dating encourages single people to stick with their own 'type' and choose people with similar interests to them based on a brief and often exaggerated! That's how true love is found! If you're now feeling like you want to try a speed dating session for yourself, good for you! You might be feeling a little nervous about the event — but don't panic. Here are some tips to ensure you have a great time on your speed dating journey:.

You'll meet new people that aren't in your normal social circle, so come with an open mind and be prepared to get to know them! Sure, speed dating is a great way to find a new love interest, but it's also a good way to meet new friends!
