Do you hate small talk? If that is what’s putting you off dating events, perhaps this silent alternative is more suitable. Just like traditional speed dating, you’ve got one minute to make an impression, however talking is banned while all other noises are permitted.
During the second round you both sit in complete silence. It may sound more awkward than exchanging a few pleasantries but organisers are confident; if you don’t meet someone you’d like to see again you can purchase a ticket for the next party for half price. Events take place in intimate venues and the ticket usually includes a drink and nibbles.
