Events and Adventures in Washington, D.C.: From Minutes to Marriage

Professionals in the City offers large general dating events and adventures.  Of the thousands of events they offer year round, I think that speed dating is the best way to meet someone.

Speed dating is very efficient.  It provides you just enough time to determine if you are chemically attracted to someone without giving you time to second guess or over think it.  If there is any chemistry between two people, they will sense it quickly; more importantly, they will also sense if there is not.  Why invest a huge amount of time in someone who you are not compatible with?

This is how Professionals in the City's version of speed dating events and adventures works:  They seat men and women across from each other, and every few minutes, they have the men rotate by moving one seat to their right.  Everyone is given a name tag with a number on it and a pen and pad to jot down other names, numbers, and short notes about people they would like to contact again (I.e.- Joe #215-- tall, blue eyes, doctor).  Additionally, the speed dating event "coaches" will give you tips about how to make the most out of speed dating.  They might tell you something like, "Are certain things important to you?  Ask about them right away".

Do you think that only weird people go to speed dating events or that people will think you are strange if you attend?  Think about it like this-- people who attend speed dating events are eager to meet someone whom they are compatible with.  People show this simply by making the effort to pay for and attend such an event.  People who lack the social skills to interact with others face to face are most likely the people who are sitting behind their computers trying to meet others.

In the span of an hour or two of speed dating events and adventures, you can meet more eligible singles than most people meet during a year of online dating.  Professionals in the City offers speed dating events several times each week for a range of specific ages, ethnicities, religions, interests, etc.  Most people who attend these events have at least one "second date" with someone (or more than one person) they met at the event, and several of those relationships progress to marriage.
