8 minute dating are events where a group of people get together and get paired up with someone. Each pair gets 8 dates for the night and 8 minutes to charm them and to find that certain spark among each other. All in all, each individual gets 64 minutes the whole night to find someone suitable for them. If they don't, the 8 minute date continues. It may seem that 8 minutes is very little to get to know that person, but in the plus side, you get to meet a lot of people. People cannot ask the other person for his/her number so the conversations are comfortable and safe. The participants of the event would know in the end who they like to see once more, that's the only time you can ask for his/her number.

Here are some tips on how to act on the 8 minute dating event:

1. Meet the person that first catches your eye.
