SpeedDate Dating Reviews and Complaints
SpeedDate is a unique matchmaking initiative that brings singles together for an afternoon or evening of meeting other singles over quick conversations. At the end of the session each person submits their reviews of their encounters, noting which people they would like to meet again. If two people indicate that they are interested in meeting each other, SpeedDate will supply them with each other’s contact information so that they can follow-up on their SpeedDate encounter.
Tim from Vancouver voices surprise at the success of the method. “I was one of the first to try SpeedDate when it came out in 2007. After my divorce I’d tried just about every possible dating strategy to meet women who wanted the kinds of things that I did, marriage and kids, but it just wasn’t happening. The first time that I walked into the SpeedDate room and saw the group of people, I knew that something was going to jell. They just all seemed like my kind of people. Sure enough, I got married six months later and our second child is due in about a month.”
Jackie from St. Louis has no complaints. They do exactly what they say they’re going to do. They introduce you to a whole bunch of men and then you see if there were any sparks. It took me three SpeedDate experiences but I did meet someone whom I’ve been dating.
Ben from Birmingham offers his honest review of the program. “The staff was helpful and the idea is brilliant. I’ve had some interesting dates that came out of the SpeedDating sessions but I’m still looking for something special. It’s definitely worth my time because it’s easier to meet women this way than any other way that I’ve ever tried.”
Brad from Atlanta writes “my only complaint is that it’s so intense. You have a couple of minutes to get an impression of a person? And then, if you are interested in someone and they’re not interested in you, it’s a bit ego- deflating. But I can’t think of a better way to meet a large number of women, so I’m continuing the process.”
Carole from Edmonton is wary. “I tried SpeedDating but backed out after one session. For me personally, it was too iffy -- who is this guy? Does anyone really know him? I’m just cautious by nature, but my friends have had good experiences and some have gone one to develop serious relationships, so I may try it again.”
Marta wrote as for Speeddate, u might say it its like taking a race lap - rush! Can't check profile & have time to chat both, no chance to really get to know if u want to meet up in person or not, or whom he really may be. And its mostly disappointing to my experience, since I'm not looking for a "cub", but that's all I seem to meet there. The most infuriating of all is all one can do there when nobody u know is chatting; Is you may only see "Who Viewed me"... wow, that one tells you alot. SOD's gotta have the big green before they'll even let you see who favorite you! No messages either. And talk about a site loading slowly --ive never seen one take so long I leave to get snack from the kitchen, return and its still not loaded!! One improvement in my opinion for SD, is to have a "date night", where two people could meet and talk 10-15 mins. if they liked each other. I know its all about the gold, that's why I steer clear of most, you get nothing for your trouble.
