Speed dating is organised by various clubs, bars, agencies, organisation and even charities (where your submission money will go to a good cause). Normally, people arrive and sign up to join for that evening and pay a small submission fee. There is then enough time to get a few drinks in before you take part in a series of quick dates.
The women will then be ushered to their places where they will await the men to sit down opposite them. Once the speed dating has started each couple will have a certain amount of time to talk and learn about who is sat opposite them until someone else takes their place.
Each person will have received a card where they can rank each person they have met in terms of personality and appearance, this is also a chance to note down if you would like to see a particular person again. Speed dating is heavily reliant on first impressions, so try to relax and have fun.
Once you get home you can then go online and see who wanted to see you again and arrange a proper date.
