The newest and hottest trend in dating today is speed dating, also know as pre-dating. Speed dating is a series of short timed dates that you go on one right after the other. You use that short amount of time to get to know a little bit about the person sitting across from you. You can choose which people you would like to see again at the end of the dates. If anyone is a match, then the two of you can set up a future date together. Dates are usually set up in towns with lots of singles. The idea may sound silly but it is really convenient if you want to avoid going on bad dates. This is the "fast food" of dating and many have become couples through this style of dating.
