speed dating
Speed dating is a high-speed carousel in the love market, where participants are forced to scour for a potentially 'fated encounter' within a brief time slot. Every two minutes they swap seats and deliver a condensed personal pitch, yet no few minutes of chatter can truly reveal compatibility. Smiles and anxiety mingle on a razor's edge, and each self-introduction phrase acts as a judge sorting future hope from despair. What remains at the end of the ritual is either the spark of new romance or an inexplicable fatigue, and which one you get is anyone's guess.
