Wanna date?

On the contrary, speed dating occurs throughout Switzerland in every bar and pub post 3 am on the weekend

If you're just looking for fun, then go ahead and give it a try.

If you're looking for something more serious, you're setting yourself up for a fall.

p.s. Speed dating events where the women rotate are more likely to be successful (where success is defined as a definite two-way match). I wont go into the whys and hows of this, but it is something I have definitely observed to be true.

Which day exactly?

I have this feeling that you forgot to mention something for the rule book.... such as wearing same cloths for at least 3 days at work

After 1 speed date?

Couldn't this happen on any 'regular' date, pub-chat-up, etc. as well?

I really wouldn't take such an event too serious. It's for the fun of it.

That you are too smart and don't want to invest yourself in pointless wasters of time....


Oops.

No, it does not say anything. It's better be picky than wear yourself out, but people always say better bad partner than none, one always learns, even by failures. I don't agree. Now, are you sure people aren't trying to hit on you and you are just missing all the hints?

That desperate?

True true, but if you just hang out, you don't get all sad going home without a date, no? Unlike from a specific meat market event.

To me it sounds like, you need a date ... are you accepting PM?

Mhahahaha...she knows what she is doing

I like this reasoning

As you said I am smart

Well that's not the point is it? You meet someone in the traditional way, you still don't know if it's going anywhere until several dates. Speed dating is simply a way to introduce people. As is the case with many other such methods, traditional or otherwise.

Comon', let's be honest, sometimes at a dinner or bar or wherever, we are originally piqued by how someone looks or something interesting they said. No difference really.

If you're not meeting people the traditional way as the OP says, no harm in trying.

I know a few people happily married after meeting at speed dating.

You don't understand men.

Now, you better delete that message, you will kill the flow of the proposals

No, she could have one more

Exactly no? I would think 5 minutes is enough to suss out if the person has anything in common for you. Equally 5 minutes can be seriously long if the person doesnt. Ridiculously fugly shirt? NEXT. Think Lady Gaga is cool? NEXT! Man Utd fan? NEEEEEEEEXT!

Speed dating in Zurich:

Date #1
Him: Hi
Her: Hi, so tell me about yourself
Him: I am 26, like hiking and skiing and work in a bank

Date #2
Him: Hi
Her: Hi, so...tell me about yourself
Him: I am 28, like skiing and work in a bank

Date #3
Him: Hello!
Her: So.........tell me about yourself
Him: I am 29, love skiing and work in a bank.....

Ok, I better not...

Like I said above, no different from a typical expat event.
