A New Online Dating Option Comes To Boston

Though I've been recently down on trying to meet people via the online route--I just think you've got to put yourself out there, in person--I did want to give you Net surfers a heads up about speedfriending.com. According to Newsweek, it's kind of like Speed Dating, except without the pick-up lines. You and a bunch of other people gather in a room, sitting across from each other in pairs. You then have 5 minutes to chat up your partner. At the end of the five minutes a bell rings, signaling you to move on to someone else. Basically, it's like 8 Minute Dating, except with 3 fewer minutes to make a love connection. In any event, the service will soon be launching in Boston, so you have nothing to lose in checking it out. Good luck!
