The term was coined in the United States in 1998 when a rabbi Yaacov Deyo from Los Angeles organized the first speed dating event in Beverly Hills, it quickly grew popular among the American society.
Speed dating is a kind of social meet-up where men and women get together to learn more about each other, with each date lasting for 3 to 8 minutes. During that time, people ask each other questions to check whether they make a fitting pair or not. After a certain amount of time elapses, the organizer gives a sign to switch places and start getting to know someone else. The entire meeting is concluded with the participants giving out lists with people they would like to meet again. Contact details are exchanged only when two participants have included each other or their lists.
The term speed dating quickly found its way to dating portals where you can quickly get to know many people by reading their profiles or engaging in short conversations. The buziak.pl free dating portal also offers quick dating, as the website has over 150 thousand registered users whom you’re certain to find a soul mate among.
