What is speed dating?

When someone asks me this question I ask them whether they have heard or they know about Twitter. There is quite a significance between Twitter and Speed Dating. Twitter is a micro-blogging platform which enables its users to quickly post about what they are doing or what's happening with them in about 150 characters, as they would write in a telegram, which enables the readers to quickly grasp about what's going on with them.

Same is with Speed Dating, people interact in large numbers and want to know about each other in least time and least words. If their interests meet they start seeing each other otherwise look for other speed daters. It is a myth that speed dating is something like dating very frequently and finishing off the dating early. Speed Dating can be taken as a formalized matchmaking or dating process.

Speed Dating has been featured in movies as well, such as Je préfère qu'on reste amis, Hitch, The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Shoppen.
