## 💬 Speed Dating vs. Online Dating: Which Works Better?

Let’s talk modern romance! Whether you're swiping right or sitting across a stranger with a name tag and a timer, both speed dating and online dating have their unique advantages—and challenges.

### ✅ What is Speed Dating?

• Face-to-face mini dates: Meet 10–20 people in one evening.
• Time-limited: Usually 3–7 minutes per "date."
• Instant chemistry or not: You know right away if there’s a vibe.
• Organized events: Often hosted by dating companies or local groups.

### ✅ What is Online Dating?

• Apps and websites: Think Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, Match.com.
• Asynchronous communication: You can chat anytime.
• Profile-based: You judge (and get judged) by photos and bios.
• Wide pool of options: Thousands of potential matches at your fingertips.
