COSMOPOLITAN - Speed dating is experiencing a resurgence, particularly in London, as people seek alternatives to dating apps and more face-to-face interactions. The trend began in New York in the late 1990s but waned in the mid-2000s due to the rise of online dating. However, with app burnout and the desire for real-world connections post-lockdown, speed dating is making a comeback. Eventbrite reported three times as many speed dating events in London in the past year compared to 2021, with a 200% increase in attendees.The appeal of speed dating lies in its efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and the opportunity to build connections in a low-risk, high-reward environment.
