Born in the fast track commercial era, Gen Y, due to paucity of time is smart enough to pursue every event in a planned fashion to save on time. This hip hop generation doesn’t believe in waiting for the cupid to strike, rather experiencing the most beautiful emotion for someone special, confessing heart felt feelings, and even fixing a date just happens in a few minutes. As the world's most stylish lifestyle service of speed dating for singles is here to take every eligible bachelor and spinster ablaze, it’s the latest fad to catch on offering an exciting and quick opportunity to meet singles in a non-pressured way. “Three minutes is all it takes to discover if you've found true love - or someone truly awful,” is what one of the proponents of speed dating has to say. You just need to sign in your details at one of the online speed dating sites. “The whole concept of going for pre-dates, in a cool ambience, is exciting enough, and who knows you may land meeting your Miss Right,” chortles Rahul, a college student. “Three minutes to meet one person, ten people in 30 minutes, twenty if you do it twice a week and forty in a month. That is a lot of ‘new’ people to meet for any single person! Especially if you are checking out each of these 40 people you meet as the prospective love of your life, or for ‘friendship,” this statistics student adds. Sneha Sharma, a call centre employee believes that even in day-to-day life crushes we go by instinct. The same can be applied here. Just substantiate your intuitive hunch.On the D-day, after a few minutes interaction with one interest, the ding dong bell rings, and it’s time to move on to the next date. Participants are asked to write on a form if they would be interested in seeing the person again. A number of mini-dates are followed by some more time to hunt your beloved in the chill out 15-20-minute break-time. Besides enjoying appetizers, you can meet many lonely souls that you've had eyed on but might not meet have met them due to numerous attendees. Well! Don’t forget to write down the names of the people you meet during intermission on your score card. The organizers let participants know within 48 hours which matches have been made, and give each side the other's email address, or email address and phone numberYes, if you don't meet someone special in the first time around, the organiser has number of events lined up, attracting around 50-90 per cent new faces each time. Some companies are nice enough to keep track of the database, in order to prevent you from signing up for a party where there are a high number of attendees that you have met previously. So, better luck next time.
