Dating Multiple Partners Tonight is Not Just OK, It's Encouraged

Why have one date tonight when you can have 20?

Hosted by Comedian KDubb, "20 First Dates" allows participants to have multiple first dates in one night. At this speed-dating event, participants are paired up in a series of quick three- to seven-minute "dates." When the time is up, a bell or timer is rung, and participants move on to their next one-on-one conversation.

Frank Ski's Restaurant & Lounge, 2110 Peachtree Road NW, Atlanta, hosts the event from 7-10 p.m.

While three minutes may not seem long enough to determine whether a new acquaintance is a potential match, speed dating organizers have found that it gives participants plenty of time to gauge their level of interest or get a feeling that the other person is just not the right fit. As an added bonus, the round-robin setup enables participants to meet more potential matches in one evening than they might otherwise encounter in a month or more of traditional dating.

Food, drink and wine specials will be available. Direct questions to Secret Cupid at 678-753-4865. Buy tickets online before the dates begin.
