Honeymoon Travel and Matchmaking Tips

Speed dating is a formalized matchmaking process or dating system whose purpose is to encourage people to meet a large number of new people. Its origins are credited to Rabbi Yaacov Deyo of Aish HaTorah, originally as a way to help Jewish singles meet and marry. “SpeedDating”, as a single word, is a registered trademark of Aish HaTorah. “Speed dating”, as two separate words, is often used as a generic term for similar events.Several online dating services offer online speed dating, where users meet online for video, audio or text chats.Emailing the participant you were attracted to is a good icebreaker especially when the guy is shy, Wait no more than 3 days after you receive your matches to make the initial contact. If neither of you has contacted the other beyond that period of time, don’t assume the other person is busy. They probably have put other matches before you. Don’t take it personally. Remember you were just meeting people for a few minutes. Studies of speed dating events generally show more selectivity among women than among men.Be kind, avoid cruelty, and know in advance any dealbreakers or duds who you will disqualify from further consideration. If behaviors such as smoking or excessive drinking are out of the question, ask the guy if he smokes or likes to get roaring drunk.Don’t reveal a lot of personal information while speed dating. At this stage, nobody needs to know where you live, where you work, or your phone number. In time you can reveal those details. At the end of the evening, you can arrange to swap emails and phone numbers with the men who interest you enough for a second, longer conversation.
