The Benefits of Jewish Speed Dating

March 13th, 2010 by Dale Kentucky | No Comments »

Invented by an innovative dating service entrepreneur, Jewish speed dating has become a phenomenon in the singles world. It takes careful coordination, a large member base in the immediate and surrounding area and a lot of work on the part of the dating service to pull it off and make it successful.

Essentially what happens is this: the dating service contacts a large number of its members in one major metropolitan area and invites them to a social event. For a modest fee they are guaranteed that there will be many members there of the opposite sex that they will be able to interact with during the event. The work involved has to do with getting a fairly equal amount of single men and women together at the same time and place and with a high probability of being compatible. Then, after a short pre-event socialization time, the Jewish speed dating begins. At the sound of a whistle, a gong or some sort of noisemaker, all of the women will sit down at prearranged chairs and tables in a very large room. Then the male members will take seats opposite the ladies. Once seated, the noisemaker will be pressed into action and the two single, Jewish people will have a fixed amount of time, usually two or three minutes, to talk to each other and introduce themselves.

After the fixed amount of time, the noisemaker will sound and the men will get up, move over one table to their left, sit down and the entire process repeats until everyone has had a chance to sit in front of and introduce themselves to everyone else. It may sound silly but when the dating service is specific enough and talented enough in inviting the right people to the event, after talking to 50 women there is usually a mutual interest from at least a few. When the dating service specializes in Jewish speed dating, they invite people of similar ages and profiles to interact with each other and overall the events are very successful in making matches.
