Let’s face it, by now you know it takes meeting a number of people before you find someone you have a connection with. But the problem is, how do you meet them in the first place? Sure there are ways–bars, blind dates, dating services online, etc. But they all have their disadvantages and they take time…lots of it. What fun is it to wait around for someone to talk to you in a bar or when you’re out and about? What fun is it to risk rejection over and over again striking up conversations with people you don’t even know are single? If the conversation goes well, what about the awkwardness afterwards with asking for phone numbers? With Speed Dating, you meet up to 12 (and sometimes more) single professionals in less than 2 hours. Think of it as a series of “facilitated introductions” just like when you go to a party with a good host. Afterwards, if there’s interest (you discreetly circle on your interest sheet who you would like to hear from again), you’ll get an email with links to contact these event participants. There’s no pressure, no rejection, no embarrassment and no games!

What Makes Speed Dating in Colombia Different From Other Dating Services?
Sorry to be cliché but not all speed dating companies are created equal. Speed Dating in Colombia is the only speed dating company for single professionals who speak English. Here are some other things that make Speed Dating in Colombia different from other speed dating companies:

• Focus on Professionals – Speed Dating in Colombia is the only speed dating company focusing on single professionals who speak English.
• Available – Speed Dating in Colombia is available by telephone 6 days a week- Monday through Saturday. Sometimes you just need to talk to someone. Our Event Coordinator has the contact phone number posted on the Web site and in emails we send you. What other speed dating company offers this level of service?
• Reliable – Don’t gamble with your time on companies that cancel or postpone events. We make every effort to hold our events as scheduled.
• Quality – We work hard to have the ideal number of people at each event and to balance genders. Ensuring a good turnout and that there are equal numbers of men and women is critical to success. Beware of companies that take people at the door, as most times they are literally praying the right number of people show up or enough show up to actually hold the event.

If you’re dating in this day and age, you know that time constraints can have a big impact on your social life. Many television shows and cities have a solution called “speed dating.” What is speed dating? The rules of speed dating are quite simple. A group of singles gathers at a cafe or similar venue. Armed with a nametag, a scorecard and their sparkling personality, couples are paired up to begin their first date.

Following seven to twelve minutes of conversation, a bell is rung, and the men move on to meet their next date. Think of it as a flirt’s version of musical chairs.

Following each date, participants mark on a card whether they would have an interest in meeting their date again. If a mutual interest is noted, speed-dating organizers provide each party with the other’s phone number.

For many singles tired of the bar scene and weary of blind dates, speed dating offers a fun and safe alternative.
