The quest for love has given rise to speed dating, which is popular in urban areas.
Speed dating has become an option for Atlanta residents who want to maximize their chances at finding romance by meeting several potential dates in the same evening. Speed daters at events in Atlanta and other cities typically spend about 10 minutes getting to know each other, then move on to another speed dater. If you're interested in one of the people you meet, you tell the event organizers. If there is a mutual interest from the person you identify, the organizers provide contact information.

Match In Six
This organizer hosts speed dating events at popular Atlanta bars and nightclubs. An event in April 2010 was aimed at bringing together Atlanta's "elite singles" at the Sambuca Jazz Lounge downtown. Attendees had the opportunity to meet about a dozen people at the event. Match in Six says its events promote quality over quantity and that most of its events are by "special invitation" or advertised by word of mouth.
