By Joanna Walsh


In today's busy and complex world of online communication and high-pressure lives, finding a companion can often seem like an exercise in frustration. Most traditional venues for meeting other singles have seemingly gone the way of the dodo, making it harder than ever to find any relationship that might eventually become serious. If you're a Los Angeles single trying to meet someone new, you might benefit from trying the speed dating LA is now making famous.

The concept of rapid multiple dates has been around for awhile, and has even been seen in movies and on television. Still, the entire process can sound a little unnatural at first. Once you hear about how it works and understand how successful it has been for so many people, though, it will sound more appealing.

Modern speed date meetings are designed to be as safe and secure as possible, with a high level of anonymity involved in the early stages of the process. It is important for participants to understand this so that they can enter into the process without fear that they are opening themselves up to unacceptable risks.

From start to finish, the process is easy to navigate. The participants arrive at a designated event spot that is supervised by professional hosts. One man and one woman are seated at each table in the room, facing one another. Once the host rings the bell, a five-minute date begins.

As the date begins, each couple is free to get to know one another by talking about anything they choose. This can involve sharing information about themselves, idle chat, or even awkward silence of the sort that usually signals the end of a failed date. The bell rings after five minutes have ended. At that point, the men each move on to another table. The women stay seated. That way, every man eventually sits with each of the women at the event.

Once the process ends, match cards are handed out. Participants note on these cards which of their encounters they enjoyed the most, and the hosts use that information to match up people who chose each other on their respective cards. The next day, those participants receive the contact details for the person they chose, which allows them to pursue more natural dates if they choose to do so.

Most of these groups provide a variety of meetings targeted toward different age groups. These often include groups for people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and even older. The underlying assumption in the age groupings is that those separations tend to encourage common interests.

To be certain, the process might seem a bit odd for the average person. That, however, doesn't change the fact that many, many singles have reported success with this type of dating process. Often times, singles end up meeting people with whom they enter into more serious relationships. That success, and the opportunity to meet new and exciting singles, should be more than enough to encourage you to end your dating frustration by signing up for one of these events.
