Over 1,000 break world speed date record

In dating, they say there are plenty more fish in the sea.
For 1,363 speed daters meeting in Brussels on Tuesday, the bigger the sea, the better the chances of catching something.
Organiser Dare to Date billed the Valentine’s Day event as the world’s biggest ever speed date, saying it smashed the previous record of 964 participants set in Dublin, Ireland, in 2019.
In a cavernous repurposed warehouse filled with rows of tables and disco music, participants circulated every four minutes meeting on average 16 people during the evening.
Dare to Date, which specialises in speed dates, split those signed up into groups by age and sexual orientation but apart from that they were not screened – which is what many participants said made it better than internet dating.
