Often, even in these few minutes, they will be able to know if their personalities will click or not. No one is allowed to give any contact numbers and other personal information until after each of the mini-dates. After the event, they will then submit a list of names, who they want to get to know more and have contact even after the event. One of the newest ways to meet new people and possibly meet a new love is through speed dating. Although the concept is actually not so new anymore in western countries, having been practiced for years now; it is enjoying popularity just now. Perhaps, this is because the idea of speed dating is more viable and much more needed now than before. During the pair's meetings, each one has a chance to evaluate a mate of his/her choice, and at the moment if the couple considers each other in terms of future option to arrange for a second meeting, they will secretly agree with each other, then will pose to write "yes" or "no" in each other's registration paper, and go on to the next male or female speed date. If some dates during the whole speed dating event doesn't go well, you have a lot more dates that night to make up for it. If however, at the end of the evening you still come out empty handed, it's no big deal. You didn't really waste a lot time and you can do something as fun as that again another time. Speed dating allows the person to meet someone and talk about different things for 10 to 15 minutes each. A scorecard is there to rate the individual and if both parties feel the same way, perhaps this could become the start of something big. This activity is for everyone who is single. Professionals organize these events. Usually, you inform the organizers or their automatic online dating system which ones you prefer to have a date. Then the system or the organizer finds if there's any possible match. They will then inform you of your match or matches and then it's out of their hands. Once you've been given the contact information, it's up to you to make the moves and set up a real date.
