It's based on the concept of weeding out the bad dates to get to the good dates.

You know how it goes, you're on a blind date, you sit down at the table in the restaurant, hoping for the best, cell phone on because you told your friend to call you with "an emergency" an hour in to it just in case so you have an out because you're too chicken sh** to just up and say, "Hey, this isn't working" and you see your date walk in.

You're nervous and already you can see some things you don't like about him, (or her), because, really, who the hell wears a plaid tie with a striped shirt? And those yellow socks...no.

He sits down and introduces himself. Either he talks all about sex the entire time or he talks about himself and his job all the time or there is incredibly uneasy silence.

And you still have 45 minutes to go until you friend calls with her fake emergency. Sigh....man you can't wait to get out of this!

Enter Speed Dating!

You sit down at the table with the person and you have anywhere from 3 to 10 minutes...or something like that, to talk and get to know a few things about the person. You will either already decide you do not want to see that person again, no loss, it's speed dating and we didn't really spend a whole lot of time and money on the person, OR, you think, "Wowzers!" and you get their digits for later.

You can have multiple, "dates" in one night in the matter of an hour and either go home empty but having weeded out another 20 guys and no longer wonder about them or you can go home with a phone number or two and actually look forward to the date and have a great time. Until, of course, they stop being nice and start being real. Heehee.

I haven't tried it, but I've heard it's not so bad... Same thoughts in general as gatorm, but as a guy, I hate to have to sit in a date for an hour, when 5 minutes into the date I know she's not all that, her pics don't match, or she's 20 pounds heavier than the pics (women are notorious for doing this), so speed dating might be something I try in the future.
