問題詳情
(B)People are busier than ever, and many singles complain they don’t have time to waste dating the wrong people in their search for Mr. or Ms. Right. Smart business people have been listening, and are offering some new options.In Japan, for example, a new kind of singles cafe has sprung up where women sit on one side of a room, separated from the men sitting on the other side by a wall of glass. This setup allows singles to get a good look at each other, but doesn’t let them communicate directly. If a man or woman wants to talk to someone on the other side of the room, he or she writes a “love note” to that person. The note is then delivered by one of the waiters, and the person receiving it has the choice to write back or not.Club members like the system because passing a note is a lot less frightening than approaching a total stranger and starting a conversation. Face is also saved: if someone doesn’t respond to a love note, it’s not nearly as embarrassing as a face-to-face rejection.Another popular craze that has taken hold in Europe and North America is speed-dating. Members of speed-dating clubs meet between ten and thirty other singles during an evening. The catch is that each date only lasts about five minutes! When time is up, members change tables and the next date begins. At the end of the evening, members fill out cards listing the people they would like to see again. The cards are compared, and if there are matches, the lovebirds can make plans for another date.Speed-daters claim they usually make a decision about whether they like someone within minutes of first meeting anyway, so speed-dating avoids wasting hours on bad dates with people they don’t really “click” with. Having the chance to meet so many different people while saving the cost of so many “real” dates is another advantage.These modern methods of matchmaking take some of the pain out of dating by saving time, money, and embarrassment for singles. Of course the club owners make a healthy profit too.
