Atlanta. A mecca for professional singles. "So what do you do here? I’m a caterer." “I work for a consulting firm—insurance, worker's comp." "Got my Ph.D." How far would $28 take you on one date? "Everybody should have a dating card..." Well, how about this. It can get you eight dates, in one night. "Tired of the bar scene, so I thought we'd try a new venue. You gotta step outside your comfort zone." Seem scary? "I almost turned around like ten times." "Friends sent me an email about it and I’d thought I’d try it." Embarrassing maybe... "There's nothing to be embarrassed about because everybody you're there with is in the same boat you are." "Why would you be embarrassed. It's your life, do you wanna meet someone that you'd like to go out on a date with. I'm not embarrassed at all. It's a trip." These singles are actually cutting out the chase...the bar hopping and phone tag. Its called 8-minute dating. First, a quick mixer to scope out the room... "Do you have your eye on anybody? No, no. Not yet." "The cameraman." "I got my eye on you. Are you single?" Some venture out for the first time... "First time here. Expecting…Idon't know, meet new friends. That'd be nice. " And some are putting it into the routine. "I love it. I think I’ll keep doing it until I find the one." You don't have to make a love connection. Many come for business networking or to make new friends. Same sex matches are also available. 8-minute dating will be in Augusta on August 3rd, and 23rd.
