Video Dating and Speed Dating




Dating, something humans have been doing since the beginning of time, has evolved with our cultural and technological advances. Recently with the internet age, dating took its paws online allowing people to date online allowing more and more people to stay at home and get on dating websites and get to meet partners in their area. This made dating easier and adapted it with the age we were living in, however since then it has attracted the stigma of being the method used for people who are afraid to get out and do it on the streets. For that reason, online dating has not been able to fly as high as it was supposed too. There are other reason too, the disfavor online dating, like the fact that you base your judgment on a few pictures, a profile and some im conversations both of you had. That is the reason why with the video chatting age coming up, dating will take a turn for the better.

Video chatting apps today as we know also us to call our contacts online for free mostly and as well see and interact with them over video. Now with progress, video streaming will be part of social networking, everyday communication and more. So video chatting apps will allow us to meet people on cam much more easily and more efficiently. Similar to random chatting apps, you will be to meet people that would be great matches for you in video speed dates. With that you will actually talk to an interested party and get to connect with them way more than you would over the cam.

Now, it's obvious video chatting will make online dating better. You are able to see the person and talk to them before you make a decision or connect. Also it will more similar to the real experience than the online dating we experience centered around IM chatting. You won't really need to base yourself on pictures and a profile, you will just need a few video chats with the person you are interested in to make your judgment like you would on the streets.

So how will they work? Basically, you would have a profile and probably a little bit of information to describe yourself and then like omegle, you could decide to meet people at random in certain filters you choose to match some of your criteria and then talk and try to connect with the people you meet. If you felt connected and they too, you would be added to each other lists for further connect on video of course. Also, you could start little video speed dating rooms and get a few people to join and video speed dating with everyone in the group, and get acquainted with the people. Similarly if you felt connected to someone you will be able to continue later on. The website could even propose you members that they feel could be a good match with you base on your interest and past connections and if they are online you could call them. On their side they will see an incoming call from a purposed match so they will be more inclined to take the call.

So all these aspects and features will shape online video dating which we will see control our online dating in the next years to come.

It has to be said that there are a few dating websites that do have some video chatting aspects in them. Two great examples are woome and runfaces, both that I really like. Woome allows you to start small video chat speed dating groups with 2 or 3 members from each sex to join in and speed dating. If you feel connected to one person you can woo them later on.

So if you're a online dating person, then brace yourself for online video dating which will sure be fun!
