t down, a handsome stranger comes to the table and takes the seat across from you. You read his name on his name tag. Once he is seated, a bell rings and your date begins!

As you scan your list of conversation topics, the man across the table asks about your hobbies. From there, the conversation naturally flows back and forth from your interests to his interests to your job to his job. You are both careful not to ask questions that are too personal. Then the bell rings again. It's time to move on. As you make your way to the next table, you quickly mark your date card. You write the man's name on the card. Under thequestion "Would you like to meet again for a real date？", you mark "yes." Then you take a seat for your next date.

This gives people just enough time to make an impression, so that each person in the "date" can decide if they want to meet the other again. If both people mark "yes" on the date card, the service will arrange for the people to contact one another to arrange a real date.The idea for speed dating came from Yaacov Deyo of Los Angles. In 1999, he wanted to provide an alternative way for his students to get together other than using blind dates arranged through family or friends.
