Speed dating is advantageous in that you get to physically see who you are dealing with at the physical venue of the event, such as a restaurant, café, or bar.
Thanks to the rotation setup, which allows you to talk to someone at the event for about 3-8 minutes before moving on to the next person, you get a very good read on what the person physically looks like in real time.
Guys are far more comfortable showing interest in a girl online and on dating apps than they are doing it in real life.
A guy worries about rejection a lot and how much it hurts.
It is easier for him to send a like or message to you online and on dating apps, as this is less personal and a rejection from you isn’t anywhere near as hurtful as it would be if he received a rejection from you in real life.
He didn’t have to see you look at him in disdain or hear the words of rejection from your voice as he would have if you had rejected him in a real-life setting.
