There’s never enough time in the world anymore, especially when it comes to finding the love of your life – or is there? With www.speeddate.com, it seems that if you have three minutes to spare, they think they can find you someone to date. Developed as a business class project at first, this San Mateo, California site is hoping to help singles hook up with video chats instead of the ’slow’ style online dating scene.

With no subscription fees yet, interested people can sign up on the site, give a few details about who they are and then sign up for one of the speed dating sessions. Instead of having to converse with someone for months before you get to see them or to figure out whether or not they are right for you, speeddate.com helps you quickly punch ‘yes’ or ‘no’ at the end of each date to give your review. If you both hit ‘yes,’ then you will be able to talk more through the actual dating site.

While this does seem to cut through the hassles of other dating sites (like long forms and questionnaires), this site also seems like more of a gimmick than an actual place to meet someone to have a relationship with. Sure, you might meet someone who’s as adventurous as you are – but does that make them someone to walk down an aisle with? Or should we say, run down an aisle with? Only time will tell on this one.

Though we’re certain the answer will be clear soon enough.

While we might want to believe that celebrities date other celebrities just to stay in same kind of attractiveness factor, that’s not always the case. Because of the schedules that many of these celebrities have, it’s just easier to date someone that ‘gets’ what you have to do and what it takes to do your job.

Why should it be any different for those in professional public service jobs?

At thebadge.org, police officers, emergency medical professionals and fire fighters can meet other singles in their lines of work, helping to connect these courageous people. But because you’re meeting people in the same line of work, you’re already going to have something in common, plus you’re going to be with someone who ‘gets’ your life and your responsibilities.

Your line of work takes you out at all hours of the day and night in dangerous situations. You have to drop everything for strangers and you can’t simply say ‘no’ when the fire bell rings or if you get an emergency call.

And other singles on the site understand.

While this site is still growing, there is no doubt that helping to focus your possible dating pool is going to help you find the perfect someone to love. After all, you’re meeting someone who cares about everyone else’s well being – why not about yours too?
