Fast Friends: Three-minute Conversations Can Help Singles Connect

Filed in archive Dating Sites on June 23, 2005

DECATUR HERALD REVIEW -- June 13 -- Speed dating has gained
popularity in larger cities and is starting to emerge in Decatur.
Jan Gist-Niesman, owner of Just One More, decided she wanted to help
singles connect by running speed dating events. "Did you bring your
medical records with you?" she asked each man, which seemed to break
the ice and got a few chuckles. One attendee said, "if there is
no spark (with a woman) the first time, then it won't work."
Speed dating was first introduced last summer at Gregory's Grille in
Decatur. Unfortunately, more than 30 women showed up and only two
men. Scott Jones, organizer, said more mature adults gravitate to
the events. "People need a little help meeting each other,
especially in this age group (older than 30). We are also an
affiliate of Match.com, but people get caught up in that e-mail hell
and never make the jump to meeting in person." FULL ARTICLE @ HERALD REVIEW
