Silent Dating - All the Rage
- Oct 31 2003
After speed dating, now silent dating
is all the rage in Britain - where singles
converse with new partners through e-mail, hand
written notes and text messaging, according to
an article in
The Mirror.
"Silent parties" - are the latest dating
trend for singletons. It might not sound like a
bundle of laughs but, according to the
organisers, it's one of the best ways of finding
your Mr or Miss Right. And thousands of people
are signing up for silent parties in bars and
night-clubs across Britain after the idea
crossed the Atlantic.
The guests are mostly career-minded
professionals in their 20s and 30s, with jobs in
law, medicine and media.
These people are too busy to find partners in
the conventional way, and they find it easier to
lose their inhibitions when they are writing
things down, says Guy Holmes, 28, a restaurant
manager who regularly organises silent dating
parties.
"You might put something in a text which you
wouldn't dream of saying directly to someone's
face".

age, with those over 30 representing the most
