      It is! And it worked great for me and my partner! We both got tired of the apps, and neither of us are big socialites, and felt like speed dating was a long-shot, but after meeting at speed dating, we went on a coffee date (so we could talk for more then the 7 minutes they gave us at speed dating), and everything just felt right! I won’t say it was love at first sight, but within the year we’d moved in together, and couldn’t be happier with each other. Just search online for speed dating in whatever decent-sized city you’re in or near, and you’ll probably find something!

        At least four years ago (or whenever right before Covid started. I’m so bad with time) my 25 year old cousin in law went to a string of speed dating events. They still exist. Heck. I just duckduckgo’d “my state speed dating” and in about twenty seconds found ten within a 30 minute drive over the next month.
