    This sounds horrible, like an interview but multiple back to back and lasting for hours. No thanks, I’d rather be thrown back into the hell of online swiping.

      I have not had much luck with dating apps, so a friend and I attended a local speed dating event when we turned 30. Apparently it was advertised on a dating app and is run by a company that does events for singles.

      Anyway it was exactly like you described - a series of awkward interviews with strangers I didn’t click with, some of whom tuned out after a couple of minutes and you could tell they were just waiting for the next person. Many were people who had just moved to the state/country.

      Any other option for meeting people would probably be better than attending a speed dating event imo
