What Should Jewish Singles Know About Speed Dating?

By: Billy Baker

Not many people are aware (not even Jewish people) that speed dating was founded by Rabbi Yaacov Deyo. He and a bunch of his students consolidated an older style jewish method of bringing single Jewish people together in a supervised environment. This first occured in the town of Hollywood around 1988. Speed datying in now ubiquitous and is well known.

Jewish speed dating was initially created by Rabbi Deyo in an attempt to allow single Jews in a big city to meet other like minded singles. The basic concept was for Jewish singles to be able to meet many other Jews at a particular venue, encouraging possible romance, love, and marriage to blossom amongst otherwise lonely singles.

Speed dating events have now been refined to a fine art. Rabbi Yaacov Deyo's SpeedDating formula is now a 7 by 7 event. This means that you will meet 7 other Jewish singles and after 7 minutes the Jewish men will move on to the next single girl. 7 minutes is considered enough time to evaluate whether there is any interest on either side.

Everyone receives a small card for evaluating their partner. Those singles that take your fancy get a tick. If you are lucky enough for the interest to be reciprocated, then both parties are notified about taking it further.

Jewish speed dating is a great way to meet singles who are genuinely interested in relationships. Everyone is privvy to what everyone else says, it's meant to be that way. You're not out of pocket buying drinks for people you're not sur of and no one is being pestered. Non reciprocation of interest is done tactfully, without any demoralizing face to face rejection.

The most important consideration for any form of speed dating is to remember that punctuality is a must. The whole event is dependant on everybody arriving by a particular time, otherwise the numbers will be thrown. Wear your best dating outfit, a smile, and think of some relevant questions you may like to ask each of your speed dates.

It's not like there's only one speed dating site, there are many. Read the fine print before handing over your cash. There are many events. Select one that meets your requirements. If you are feeling anxious about going it alone, have a single friend come along for moral support. You may both find love in 7 minutes. This experience is pleasant and very social while meeting people of similar beliefs for romance. Why waste time?
