Introducing: Skiddle’s Speed Dating Page

Since gaining massive popularity back at the turn of the century, speed dating suffered something of a setback with the introduction of online dating. Destined to be a thing of the past, the future of speed dating looked rocky, until recently.

Enjoying something of an emphatic comeback in the last couple of years, it has highlighted the fact that the best way to meet people remains to be meeting in person. Internet dating, as effective as it can be, will never replace the corporeal meeting of two people.

In a similar way that watching a recorded gig will never be the same as actually being there, meeting someone face to face will never be equalled by emailing or online chat. The vital importance of first impressions, body language, eye contact and of course chemistry can only be achieved through real life interaction.

And besides, even if you don’t meet the partner of your dreams, speed dating can still be a hell of a lot of fun. Plus you’re not tied into any costly subscriptions!

It’s because of this welcome return to popularity that we at Skiddle are proud to launch our new speed dating page, to find events nearest you, that best suit you.

Head here to get searching. You might just find the one!
