The concept of speed dating was actually thought of by a Rabbi who devised the system to help his community of believers to get to know each other and bond despite being in a large city, where the jewish population is next to nil. There are various websites on the web that can make this happen. The person should just search for it using one of the major search engines for these to appear and then be selected. The speed dating sites may require the person to register in order to receive information. This includes how much is the entrance fee and when and where this will take place. Each of these people will be given the chance to talk to the every member of the opposite sex in a series of short minute dates where they can talk about anything they want. Often, the short dates will last from about three minutes to eight minutes depending on the organizer of the speed dating. These minutes are neither short nor long for people.
