We were thrilled to host our first "Read Dating" event last night. Billed as "speed dating meets book clubs," participants had eight minutes to chat with each other about their favorite books and authors before the gents moved on to the next lady. An enthusiastic crowd filled our second floor events space, enjoying the refreshments and the conversation. Look out for more Read Dating events in the near future!
Wow, this is such a cool idea! What was the outcome? Did people form book clubs or exchange numbers?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a really fun event.
Hi Patrick--If the feeling was mutual we put the folks in touch after the event. We did have a few matches made. Very exciting!
ReplyDeleteNeat idea! I'd like to try it. I found this neat site where people post their funny date stories. postyourdate.blogspot.com. I'd love to know if any of these people had any funny date experiences.
ReplyDeleteAwesome article. Can’t wait to see where the evolution of this thinking lands our society in the next couple of generations…
ReplyDeleteThis is such a wonderful idea!
ReplyDelete"Participants had eight minutes to chat with each other about their favorite books and authors before the gents moved on to the next lady" - I remembered a local movie called "My Amnesia Girl" which played this kind of idea girl-to-boy speed introduction or speed dating. Its interesting how two individuals end up dating each other just after a very few minutes of expressing about their interests and likes.
