1) You will save time. Making profiles on different sites, looking (or swiping) through all the people, talking to a lot of people at the same time is extremely time consuming. By going to a speed dating event, you'll have a fun evening and avoid wasting x amount of hours online.
2) You will see right away if you click. First impressions count A LOT, and just like a job interview, it either clicks or it doesn't within the first 10 minutes (if not less). Sometimes you may have great conversations online with someone, yet in person it is NOT the same thing at all.
3) You will meet serious people. I think we can all agree that attending a speed dating event takes us out of our comfort zone. People who attend these events are looking for a relationship, or else they would just be spending the night booty calling from home.
4) You are guaranteed to meet more than one person. When going out for drinks after work, or to a bar at night, you'll be lucky if you get to meet and talk to one person, and even luckier if there is a connection. If you're looking for a relationship, a speed dating event will make your evening much more productive ;)
5) You can have your first and second date on the same night. Speed dating events normally only take a few hours, so why not take the opportunity to make plans with someone if you click instantly to keep the date going on that very evening!
6) You don't have to go alone. Unlike a nerve-racking blind date, you can get some single friends to come with you and join in for the fun!
7) You will meet people outside of your entourage. We often get caught up in our routine and spend time with the same people. Speed dating events will allow you to meet people outside of your work and friends circle.
8) Online dating is very saturated. For some people it's great, but for others, it may take a really long time to actually meet someone compatible, especially with the fact that there is always the option to "keep swiping" on more people.
9) You're not the only one who is shy. You may think to yourself "I'm way too shy to do that". Well, I would suggest convincing friends to go to the event as well, and if that doesn't work out, just tell yourself that you definitely won't be the only shy one in the room! Most people have never attended a speed dating event, so it's normal to feel anxious, but it's definitely not something that should stop you from giving it a try.
10) It's an experience. It's definitely not an event that everyone gets a chance to experience, so why not just give it a try!
11) You just never know. You may end up meeting the love of your life. If your gut is telling you to go, you should definitely not miss the chance ;)
