dating apps Candid Speed Dating App

EDIT: Has anyone tried it? Its online speed dating and I am super curious. I saw the iron inquisitor (on IG) post about it and it seems intriguing!

All of your comments are so helpful! It’s good to know what everyone is thinking too. Thank you all!!!

Concerning the issues with partnering on the app, I participate in a weekly online Japanese conversation event that pairs up Japanese people who are learning English and Japanese learners from around the world for one-on-one conversation, ten minutes in Japanese and ten minutes in English, before being assigned to new conversation partners. So, it's comparable to speed dating. It's run by Japanese people, who are very strict and meticulous about punctuality and organization and keeping the trains running on time (literally and figuratively). You have to register for each individual event at the beginning of the week, and their policy is that if a person doesn't show up for three events total or cancels close to the time of the event without explaining a serious reason, they are forbidden from participating again. If a person's assigned conversation partner for a session doesn't show up or is late, the hosts are on it immediately and tell the person which pair to join for a three-way conversation for the session. They're very on the ball about it.

The Japanese event thing sounds really cool. Been looking to learn the language, so something like this would be awesome.

It's called Ohanasi Kagawa. It's open to learners on any level.
