History

Speed Dating originates from the United States of America that is probably no great surprise to us all! It started in Los Angeles back in January 1999 as a way for Jewish singles to meet one another, however it didn't take long for it to break out and spread beyond that community. It became a phenomenon across the States for people of all backgrounds; it was a refreshing new way for people to meet one another. Speed Dating has also taken the UK by storm especially over the past three years, another successful import you could say! It has become a fast, fun and exciting new way for eligible single professionals to meet one another, where they would normally have never had this kind of opportunity because of the modern working pressures which eats up into your social time, as the famous saying goes 'time is money!' You may have heard about 'Speed Dating' from a friend or seen it mentioned in the media recently and now Planet Valentino extends this phenomenon to Tokyo and other Japanese Metros and foresees as the new dating craze spreading like wild fire.
