HurryDate is a pioneer in "speed dating," wherein a group of ladies and gents gather, mingle, and rotate through an average of 25 mini-dates (4 to 7 minutes each) over the course of an hour and a half. To take a budding romance further, you move to e-communication through Hurry Date.com. It's a conventional dating site you can use independently of the party meetings, which occur in some 70 cities in the U.S., the U.K., and Canada. Posting a profile and replying to messages are free, but initiating a message costs. Membership runs $15, $35, and $55 for one, three, and six months, respectively. Parties cost $30 to $35 each, and members receive a 25 percent discount.
