The attraction of dating apps – and the hugely competitive market that exists – highlights one of the ways dating has changed in the age of the internet. Social media has played its part – the simplicity of a tweet or a filtered Instagram photo – making our social interactions bite-sized, calculated and efficient.
The renaissance of speed dating in recent years comes as little surprise. A recent speed dating Manchester event in the UK, for example, promised singletons the chance to meet up to 15 dates in a stylish, intimate canal-side bar.
Guests are greeted and given a numbered badge which matches a table. One group will rotate around the tables every four minutes while the other stays seated. At the end of the night, you mark who you’d like to date on a card. Afterwards, guests log into a secure website where they can register their favourites and see if there are any matches.
From London to New York and Sydney, the fast-track to love appears to be the perfect antidote in a world that is otherwise dominated by digitized interaction. Fun socializing with likeminded people, speed dating has, since it began in the late 1990s in Beverly Hills, become well-known all around the world.
In a world that is busy and exhausting, speed dating’s rejuvenated popularity is certainly linked with our growing need to economise our time in contemporary society.
