Does Speed Dating work?

I thought only Americans did "dating"

Don't we just start talking to birds we fancy and then pull them, and if we like them, see them again?

Yup. It can just be easier to say dating though.

What exactly is speed dating? Is it that thing where you go into a room, and have a limited time at each table with each woman there?

Yeah 3 minutes to talk to each lady normally around 14 ladies at a session
 
How many 'laps' do you get? - or does that depend on the amount of people there?

What if you liked numbers 2,5,6,9,12 and 13 more than the rest, do you get a 'final round'?

Hmm, on another thought - I VERY much doubt that you are going to automatically get a 'girlfriend' in any sense of the word based on 3 minutes. Friends perhaps, but you would have to be desperate in the extreme to agree to anyone based solely on 3 minutes. Sure your not expecting too much out of a night ? ;)

You pick a max of 10 people and they can pick the same amount. If you like someone and have picked them and they pick you by recording this result on a scorecard then you are a match.

You get told the matches you have via e-mail with there details so you can get in touch with them.

My girlie mates go just for a laugh and guys seem to go and take it seriously hmmmm

I don't know about that, me and a mate went along to one at the local students union(well we were sort of conned into it but that is beside the point) and had a good laugh at the time, nothing was ever likely to come of it because we weren't really trying but it was fun anyway. There it started off with a quick drinking game to loosen everyone up and then you had about 3 minutes to chat to each girl who came along, after that it was a case of hand in scorecards and wait for the results or at least it would have been if we didn't leave before they told us of any matches to go drinking with other mates.

I can't say I'd recommend it over any other way to meet someone really but it was worth trying regardless.

I've been 4 times and it hasn't worked for me! Has it worked for you?

Dont mean to sound rude, which i know this will but i am drunk.

Are you ugly?

If not you dont need speed dating you need some confidence in your self.

Irrelevant of looks it does sound like a little self confidence would help :)
 
I quite fancy doing it cos I'd be awesome, rarely speak to a girl for longer than 5 minutes before deciding to pull her, lol.

Friend at work has been a few times and always came away with a few numbers who he has later gone on to see. Hes fug ugly but a good laugh and can happly speak his mind. Don't think any have gone on to be long term things but I get the feeling hes just there for some loving.
 
I was roped into going to the one at my hall, i helped organise it since i was on the JCR.

Had a good laugh, got to meet lots of the fit girls in my hall, and met a girl in the hall that i hadnt spoken properly to yet, got together a while after that and now been going out for about 4 months now.
