An organizer distributes evaluation sheets to speed dating participants at a California restaurant. Note alphabetized place cards. In speed dating, men and women are rotated to meet each other over a series of short "dates", usually lasting from 3 to 8 minutes before the organizer blows a whistle to signal the participants to move on to the next date. At the end of the event participants submit to the organizers a list of who they would like to provide their contact information to. If there is a match, contact information is forwarded to both parties. Contact information cannot be traded during the initial meeting.
