Are you adventurous? Do you make a good first impression? Do you enjoy talking to several people, one at a time, for a very short period of time? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, you should consider speed dating!

Here are 5 reasons why it is worth trying.

1) For one night, you can be whoever you want

Let’s face it, speed dating is kind of just something you try so you can say you tried it. You never really go into a night of speed dating expecting to find the man/woman of your dreams, so why not have a little fun with it? Adopt an alternate persona for the night! Why be ‘regular you’ when you can be better?  For one night, try being the person you’ve always wanted to be! A Spaceman? A Knight? A Space-Knight? The world is your oyster!

 

2) Bragging rights

How many girls have your buddies dated? That’s cute, but that’s nothing compared to your new record after you literally date DOZENS of girls in one night! You will reign victorious among your group of friends as the leading Casanova who managed to court countless women without putting in any effort at all!

The same goes for the women who will spend an evening seducing more guys than their girlfriends ever thought possible! You’ll be untouchable!

 

3) It's so much cheaper than regular dating

According to studies conducted by me, a standard ‘dinner and a movie’ date-night will cost you upwards of much more money than you wanted to spend. And that’s just when it’s you and one other person! Now, speed dating isn’t free, but, it is much cheaper than regular dating. Economically speaking, it is much more efficient to speed date for cheaper while seeing dozens of people, than it is doing it the old fashion way.

 

4) You have a clean slate to vent to if you need to

It’s hard finding people in our lives who will willingly just sit and listen to our problems. With speed dating, you are given a rare opportunity to dump them all onto the shoulders of a complete, unbiased stranger. So let it all out! Leave nothing behind! You’re sitting across from a completely blank canvas that has nothing better to do but than to listen to you.

 

5) Great stories

You will see so many people when you speed date, chances are a couple of lunatics will wander across your path and give you excellent stories for years to come. True, some may be dangerous, but that’s a risk you’re willing to take. This night will be one you remember forever!

 

If you’re not convinced to try speed dating for yourself, maybe instead you’d be interested in seeing Speed Dating Tonight on Saturday, February 28th at Tri-Cities Opera.
