Can’t Buy Love? Dating In Recessional Times

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 01, 2009 – When you're looking for love and money is tight, it’s time to try some alternative dating channels and take a break from the pricey and not always effective NYC singles “club” and on-line scene.

Trust me, as a fellow unemployed single, time and money are precious.  Make the limited money and time you have work for you.  Rather than investing $50-100.00 and an entire night out on the town with a first-date, only to realize upon initially meeting that it is SO not going to work, try spending your money on a dating activity where the odds are in your favor.   Speed dating and singles parties require only a couple hours of your time, can run you between $20-50.00 and enable you to meet anywhere from 10-40 eligible singles in a matter of minutes.

Is 3-5 minutes really enough time to tell if the person is “the one”?  Probably not, however it is enough time to assess whether you have any chemistry with the person and would like to invest more time and money in getting to know them.  Chemistry is unpredictable, what we do know is it's usually instant, it's either there or not and unfortunately, despite being attracted to someone's on-line pics and perhaps even clicking with them on the phone does not guarantee it will translate to the real thing when you finally meet in person.  Think of how many weeks you may have invested in back and forth emails and phone calls leading up to your first and last date, not to mention all of the money you continue to fork over for your on-line dating membership.

What's great about speed dating and singles parties is that there's no build-up for weeks via on-line and telephone correspondence leading to the more likely than not, awkward and WAY too long and expensive first and last date.  It's a few minutes and out.  And if you're not feelin' the person, you no longer need to suffer until the check comes. Think, you will have "dated" as many men/women as it would normally take you to meet in some cases, with as slow as the on-line scene is and as busy as you are, a year!  And remember...all it takes is one!

So, if you're looking for a new more efficient, cost effective way to meet a variety of local NYC singles, where the odds are finally in your favor, check out a local singles company that specializes in singles parties and/or speed dating and register for a singles event today.
