You rotate around the tables, usually have a few minutes. At the end of the few minutes, you rotate to the next table. based off those few minutes, you determine if you are interested in any of the people you met. After the event, you discover that most people were not interested in you, either.

In NYC, I had some friends that paid a premium to do "candlelight dating." Basically, the concept was that everyone shows up at a specified restaurant that would be closed that evening to everyone but event participants. All the lights are turned off and it is completely dark. You cannot see. You are seated at a table with about 10 or 12 other people. You endure the entire meal in the dark and conversation ensues. only at the very end are candles brought out and you can see what everyone looks like. The whole concept sounds like a stake dance, only it costs about $100 instead of free at the stake center. Thank goodness I am married. People are doing some weird stuff these days to find a date.

YSA's usually have a lot of fun with speed-dating, provided men and women show up in roughly equivalent numbers.
Not sure it really works for the 31+ crowd, though.

Funniest line in the story (besides the attempt to raise excitement for the Ricker's speech):
"The field is white for Mormon men. We always need more men (at these events)," he said. Sounds like a very delightsome event, but apparently sisters of color should not attend. |
