Speed dating is defined as "... a formalized…dating system…originated in Jewish circles in the United States as a way to ensure more Jewish singles met each other in large cities..."
So that's how and where and why speed dating started. How does it work, and how does speed dating online work are the questions we will attempt to answer here.
In speed dating, each participant has the ability to meet another single-up to 10 in one session-where they have gathered at a local café. Each person is given a name tag and a score card and each "date" lasts seven minutes. You are not allowed to talk about what you do for a living or where you live. The object is to make friends, and if anything happens after that, bonus, the organizers collect the score cards after the dates are completed and if there are enough matches on two cards, the organizers give the participants the other person's phone number.
Speed dating online takes place in chat rooms, wherein the participants follow the same rules as speed dating in person. When your seven minutes are up, you go into a different chat room. Online dating services which provide speed dating are especially popular in the UK and Australia.
While adult dating services online and free online dating services have their share of successful matches, speed dating- both in person and online- report a 50% success rate. However, some of the statistics may be askew, as online speed dating is losing popularity because people don't want to pay membership fees to talk for seven minutes in a chat room when they can talk to as many people for as long as they like online. The statistics are more reliable when you take into consideration that most speed dating websites are in fact, a place to sign up for the newsletters that tell you when a speed dating event is coming to your area.

Online Dating-Pay vs. Free Sites
With over 100 free online dating sites, it's easy to choose to log on or post your profile for free, but there are some unique differences between pay and free sites that you should take into consideration before signing up.
Online dating services have grown since 1998, when the first ones hit the internet. There a sites especially for every type of person now, from teen online dating to senior online dating, with everyone else in between.
The bottom line is you get what you pay for. Joining a paying online dating service where there is a monthly or yearly fee says that you are willing to abide by the rules, etiquette, and supervision that the pay site tend to have. There are also no pop ups or little other advertising on pay sites, as this is how free online dating sites pay for their space.
Adult dating online through a paying membership site also usually means that you will have some hurdles to go over in order to get in. This is for your safety, so when they ask for a minimum length answer to profile questions, they are trying to weed out the people who are not serious. Another online dating tip for choosing sites is to choose one that requires a photo, even though a lot of sites don't, because they fear minimal participation (no one thinks they look good in a photo.)
The best online dating service will require two things that a free site can not usually afford to have-payment through credit card only and software in 24 hour use which detects phrases that are considered inappropriate for the site. Credit cards can be traced, which deters potential threats from using the site, knowing that they can be traced, and 24 hour software will censure crass material, or block the user altogether.

Online Dating in Other Countries
$250.00 a year will buy you membership in a matchmaking online dating service. In America, the oldest online dating services have been online since 1997 and include a basic online dating profile, which asks questions with regards to job, likes and dislikes height, weight, and politics. Most online singles dating services will include an area for a personal narrative section, where you can post a profile in your own words. Many include space for photos. You can pick someone's profile and let the online dating site know that you would like to contact them. The service then sends your profile to that person's confidential members only email.
Online dating U.K. style is usually free to join and works pretty much the same way that American as sites. Research reports that people logged on as members to UK online dating sites tend to go out sooner in person and review their dating sites more often.
Users of Russian online dating sites report that they get the same "gut feeling" about a person they are chatting with through an online dating service as they do when eye contact is made across a crowded party. Be careful of the online photos, however, Olga was not 26, more like 40, and Tia couldn't have been more than 15, even both of their profiles said 20. Oops!
Online dating via India includes an entire section on how to write your own personal profile and free online blogging so you can write a review of any first dates. Indian online dating also includes tips on body language during your first date out of cyber space and how to convey a sense of openness. In fact, of the entire site researched, online dating India gives the best (and most) advice on how to get out of the online dating scene and into meeting people from online.

Safety Precautions for Single Parents Dating Online by Shelley Lowery
Online dating is the single most used service on the Internet. It is used far more frequently than online shopping or online banking. All of the research combined that is done online doesn't hold a candle to the frequency with which online dating services are used.
There are no statistics to prove it, but it's likely that there are millions more online dates every day than real world dates. America is a mobile society and the divorce rate is in the stratosphere. It is no wonder that there are more and more single parents out there that are participating in online dating.
Mothers and fathers who find themselves as single parents are faced with a whole set of problems that they never dreamed existed and are certainly not prepared to deal with. They quickly find that children take time and energy and that when one parent is gone, the entire burden is theirs alone to bear. They also find out rather quickly that baby sitters don't work cheap. The single parent is faced with a nonexistent social life and loneliness for adult companionship like they never believed possible.
Before they leave for their work day, they must see to the needs of their children and provide care for them. After work, every bit of their remaining energy is used to feed and bathe the children and get them into bed. There isn't much time and certainly no energy left to pursue a social life of their own, even if they could afford the price of a baby sitter. The solution that most of them find is to simply boot up their computers and join an online dating service.
The things that are important for these single parents to remember is (1) that the same honest-is-the-best-policy that they teach their children is also the best one for them to live by themselves when dating online and (2) that the same safety precautions that they use to protect their children in the real world are the same ones that need to be employed for themselves and their children when dating online.
When a single parent posts their profile online, they need to make it clear that they have children. Springing the fact of kids after a relationship has begun to develop is not honest and it is a sure show stopper. A person who is a single parent needs to say so up front. There are other single parents out there and there are those who will accept children in a relationship.
The single parent shouldn't spend time whining to an online dating partner about the ex-spouse who left them in the position of being a single parent. The fact that you have kids, that you love your kids and that they come first with you is enough information.
Remember, when dating online, a single parent is the only person standing between his or her children and the child predators on the Internet who would do them harm. Do not ever give out information that would allow children to be identified and this includes their names as well as the names of the schools or day cares which they attend.
Online dating can be a real benefit for single parents. It is about the only way that they can engage in conversation with other adults after the children are tucked in for the night. And, who knows, it is very possible that a single parent can find love online.
