Great news! Honolulu finally landed it's first major speed dating service, Pre-Dating. The idea behind speed dating, in case you do not watch Sex in the City, is an evening of brief "pre-dates" with several eligible singles in your age range. If you have ever sunk several hours of your life on a bad date ...and who hasn't?... you will appreciate the no-hassle feeling of speed dating, where you have just enough time to smile, say a couple of "Alohas!" and move on to the next encounter.
Honolulu was a relative latecomer to the speed dating scene. It is also smaller than the average city with speed dating parties. And after tracking hundreds of locations around the world, we can attest to the fact that schedules can be irregular. So if there are events this month, this could be your chance.
If the upcoming speed dating events are sold out, or if you want to do some pre-rating instead of pre-dating, you can always try the online personals. For a city the size of Honolulu, your best starting point is likely the "majors" such as Yahoo Personals and Match.com. You could also browse specialty online services, but their smaller databases might be spread too thin if you narrow them down to a sub-section of Hawaii.
Good luck! |
