There are a lot of speed dating services out there, so you may have trouble deciding which one to choose. Here are a few factors to consider when narrowing down the list. 1. Size -- If you don't like crowds, a smaller speed dating event may be the ticket. Some services limit the number of people to 24 with meeting times as short at six minutes. 2. Location -- Speed dating events take place at a variety of venues – so select a service that has events at a place you like. You'll probably meet like-minded singles, which is the whole point! 3. People -- Who is going to these events? If you want to meet other young professionals, find a service that will introduce you to other young professionals. Find your niche – it will make speed dating more fun and you're more likely to meet someone compatible. 4. Price – See how much the event costs and select one in your price range.
