Book dating

I really enjoy reading about intuitive dating methods… whenever you think they couldn’t get more bizarre you get something like book dating come along. I always knew librarians had a little bit of sparkle!

Sometimes love finds you in the most unlikely places.

It’s often referred to as bib-dating, but it’s a take on speed dating whereby each participant brings a book to discuss - preferably one that they have actually read. As each potential couple is seated together, they have just five minutes to chat before moving to the next station.  It’s up to the participants whether or not they want to talk about the book, but the good thing about it is that the pressure is somewhat off the two of you getting on.

Like speed dating, at the end of the conversation any wishing to exchange information can do so.

It’s currently taking Canada by storm, hooking up intellectuals very successfully.

Get down your local library today and see whether they have any events coming up… more than likely they have.
