Save Virtual Speed Dating for Professional Singles! To your collection. Thu, Jan 7, 6:00 PM. Speed dating is a great concept that has been around for about 14 years now. Although it did not become popular until early 2000s yet over the last decade, speed dating has been welcomed by various sections of the society and by men and women of all adult age groups.
A 29-year-old man from El Cajon was riding a 2017 Harley-Davidson Softail northbound on Tavern Road at a high speed when he approached a right- hand curve in the roadway, Garrow said.
Austrian Vincent Kriechmayr won the downhill by one hundredth of a second to become the first man to sweep the speed races at a world Alpine skiing championships since Bode Miller in 2005.
Kriechmayr edged surprise German Andreas Sander by the slimmest possible margin for his second gold in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy.
“I didn’t expect it to win after crossing the finish line,” he said.
Kriechmayr, who entered worlds with the most World Cup wins of active male skiers without an Olympic or world title, won the super-G by .07 on Thursday.
Swiss Beat Feuz, the 2017 World champion, took bronze on Sunday, .18 back. Americans Bryce Bennett and Travis Ganong were 10th and 12th.
Ryan Cochran-Siegle, the U.S.’ top speed racer this season, missed worlds after breaking his neck last month and undergoing season-ending surgery.

Kriechmayr ended powerhouse Austria’s longest drought in the men’s downhill at worlds since a gap that included World War II. Its last gold medalist was Michael Walchhofer in 2003.
He joined Miller and Austrian legend Hermann Maier as the only men to take gold in both speed races at a worlds (Maier shared super-G in gold in 1999 with Norwegian Lasse Kjus).
“Both of them are legends,” Kriechmayr said. “To be on the same step is very amazing.”
Sander, a 31-year-old with a career-best World Cup finish of fifth, earned Germany’s third silver medal in four races so far at worlds. That nation is having its best showing since 2013, when Maria Hoefl-Riesch was its star.

On a Saturday night, after another riveting week of walking around my living room and failed attempts at making cold brew, I turned off The Sopranos, put on a fresh pair of sweatpants, and got ready for a date. Actually, I got ready for 23 dates — all at the same time. That's right, folks: At the height of a global pandemic, I went Zoom speed dating and attended a virtual singles mixer.
Although the phrase 'Zoom singles mixer' may sound like it was written by the creators of Cards Against Humanity, many dating companies and matchmaking services have opted to move online since social distancing began. Take video-dating app Filter Off, for example, which has seen a major surge in its speed dating sessions, Bumble's collaboration with BuzzFeed, which sets up strangers on live-streamed first dates. Eventbrite even reports a 1000% increase in online events in April, with 'speed dating' becoming a new trending search term. This is the wild, wild west of internet culture and behavior.
Virtual speed dating may come with little reward, but it also means little risk.
In mid-March, when my city officially banned group gatherings and began living in isolation, I received an email from Rachel Breitenwischer, co-founder and COO of Here/Now (formerly Perchance), a dating and human connection company that hosts events for singles. She invited me to an upcoming virtual singles mixer.
While I've never been one for ice-breakers, I've always been intrigued by the prospect of experiencing love at first sight in real-time. So, I applied to attend an upcoming mixer on the Here/Now website, listing my name, age, gender, and career, and ticking off my top three 'personal values' from a list including traits like creativity, adventure, independence, and kindness. Lucky me.
As the mixer drew close, I received an email with the Zoom link and some instructions for the night. I was told to bring an object to share with the group, something that 'shed a little color on what made me uniquely myself.' The idea of an adult 'Show & Tell' made me nervous. Would people take it too seriously? Would I look like a jerk if I didn't take it seriously enough? Would there be a man in his mid-30s, showing off a trophy from his college rowing team? (Spoiler alert: Yes to all three.)
Although I am prone to overthinking, Meredith Golden, dating coach and dating app expert, says that virtual meet-ups may actually help you quell some of your first-date 'what if's.'
'Video chatting and Zoom speed dating act as a great screening tool,' Golden tells Bustle. '[You can] decide if someone should be on your ‘meet when it’s safe' list or if the process should stop now so you can protect your time.'
And protect my time I did. In just over an hour, the Here/Now mixer introduced me to 23 singles. The event started with an entire group Zoom and broke off into randomly selected 'Breakout rooms,' where three or four of us were prompted to answer — you guessed it — ice-breakers.
While I personally struggled to earnestly answer, 'What kind of child were you?' or 'What was something people wrongly assumed about you?', others appeared to respond enthusiastically to the provocations. With the exception of my sarcastic tendencies, the group divulged confessions about their dream houses or proudest accomplishments, making visible connections with each other in the process.
A guy vaguely resembling Aaron Samuels asked me, 'Well, are you looking for a date or an article?'
Although I had to tilt my computer screen down in order to roll my eyes in peace, I was thankful I hadn't left my house. Virtual speed dating may come with little reward, but it also means little risk. Essentially, I still had to put myself out there, but I got do it while wearing an elastic waistband and lounging on my couch — which, in retrospect, is not the worst thing in the world.
'[Going to an online singles event] is an easy way to dip a toe in the water,' Golden says. 'It’s a controlled environment, and you don’t have to be the main attraction. A bad date reminds someone that they don’t have to waste their time, and it's an empowering reminder that you are in charge of your clock and calendar.'

Although I wasn't 'allowed' to talk about work, I accidentally mentioned that I was a sex and relationships writer. A guy vaguely resembling Aaron Samuels asked me, 'Well, are you looking for a date or an article?'

I told him I'd be happy with either. But I think I knew, even then, that I'd only be leaving with one.
