Forget about candlelight dinners and flowers. That was so '90s and so time consuming. Courtly love poems and swooning: so 12th century.

For those ready to embrace a brave new world of courtship, it's all about speed. speed dating that is. It's fast food for starving singles and about as romantic. However, speed dating has other charms.

To start with, it's fun. for those who can tell a life story in three minutes flat. And it's cheap. Where else can you get 15 dates for 40 bucks? And while supersize fries offer little more than heartburn, speed dating holds the promise of something more lasting: love.

Practical, pragmatic, less anonymous than online, less risky than blind dates, more serious than the bar scene. Synchronize your watches. Get ready. Get set. Date.
