HurryDate speed-dating party
www.hurrydate.com
Why wait for a serendipitous meeting that may come too late when you can cut to
the chase and meet as many as 25 prospects in a single sitting? Therein lies the
premise of HurryDate, which has become a national middleman for singles shopping
for devoted other. The brainchild of two New Yorkers, HurryDate improves the odds
of having a decent, if brief, conversation, by sitting singles across from one
another in local bars and restaurants and giving them roughly three minutes to
decide whether they want to see each other again. If the three minutes go so quickly
that you want to pick up where you left off another time, check yes next to the
name on your scorecard and hope she did the same. If the three minutes seem like
a round in a prizefight, simply check no and hope the next one in the procession
of 25 doesn’t chew food while he talks, or check e-mails on her cell phone
until the time is up. And if necessary, keep hoping. HurryDate parties are scheduled
this month at The Art Bar and The River House in Fort Lauderdale; Bradley’s
Saloon in West Palm Beach; and Sopra’s in Delray Beach. Memberships are available.
