A Speed date is an organized event where people meet each other over a series of short dates, lasting anywhere from 3 to 10 minutes.

How to meet new people without "looking" for a date
From Wikipedia: Meetup.com is an online social networking portal that facilitates offline group meetings in various localities around the world. Meetup allows members to find and join groups unified by a common interest, such as politics, books, games, movies, health, pets, careers or hobbies. Users enter their ZIP code (or their city outside the United States) and the topic they want to meet about, and the website helps them arrange a place and time to meet.
For example, if you are in Zurich, Switzerland and are interested in Books, you will find The Zürich Book Club Meetup Group. Or if you are in NYC and like Ballroom Dancing, you will find your group there.
You just signup and you will receive an email informing you of the next time and location that the group will meet.
Meetup allows you to personally meet people with similar interests right in your local area.

Take Salsa Dance Lessons
How to meet new people by taking dance lessons
If you are going to take dance lessons, by all means take SALSA dance lessons. Salsa is a relatively new fashion and there are Salsa dance clubs everywhere. So, after you have taken a few salsa lessons you can start going to salsa clubs and meetine people there. Since Salsa is a couples dance, you are expected to ask people to dance with you and this is a great opportunity to meet someone who looks interesting. If you take any other kind of dance lessons (ballroom, tango, jazz, etc) after you have developed your skills you will find very few places to use them.

Dealing With The Public
1. Because you have to constantly interact with people, getting a customer relations job will improve your people skills
2. You will have daily interaction with interesting people and one of them may be someone you like.
So, if you are a woman, apply to work as a salesperson in a men's clothing store. If you are a guy, try to get a job in a woman's shoe store. Or get a job as a bartender or waiter/waitress. These are perfect part-time jobs for students and will put you in contact with many, many people.

Get Smart!
Many universities, recreation centers and businesses offer workshops on a variety of subjects from wine tasting to massage to yoga to oriental cooking. Opportunities vary from city to city. But they are relatively easy to find by doing a Google search. Try to find workshops that are are short-term, fun, interesting. Below are a few examples:
- Making Sense of Men
- Understanding Women: Unlock the Mystery - Live Workshop
- Celebrating Men, Satisfying Women
- Click to see an overview of Workshop Dates and Locations
Find short-term workshops in subjects that interest you. Or better still, if you have the skills to do it, teach a workshop or a evening class to adults.
Learn the Art of the Non-Verbal Invitation
We all do it. We get on a bus or go to a theater and place our jackets or briefcase on the chair next to us. We may do it in order to put our jackets somewhere, or to reserve the seat for a friend who we are waiting for. Then when it gets crowded, we remove our items and offer the chair to someone who seems to want to sit.
Why not learn to use this socially accepted behavior to intentionally reserve a chair in a cafe for someone you would LIKE to sit next to you? The non-verbal invitation is a polite way of offering a space near you to someone you find interesting or attractive.

Join The Club
This is by no means a complete list, but simply representative of social activity clubs in the US and Europe. To find a social activity club near you, Google Social Activity Club and the name of your city.
Pickup Lines
Here are some of our favorites:
- If I received a nickel for everytime I saw someone as beautiful as you, I would have just earned my first five cents.
- Hi, I just wanted to give you the satisfaction of turning me down; go ahead say no. A little reverse psychology just might work once in a while.
- Hi! I want your opinion on something. I have two different colognes on my wrists (or neck if you are brave) and I wonder if you will tell me which one you like better.
- I don't want you to think I'm ridiculous or anything, but you are the most gorgeous girl I have ever seen. I just felt like I had to tell you.

- I'm not sure about all the "pickup artist" stuff, but there is definitely some great advice here. I stongly recommend joining a real-world club for people with shared interests. Sitting in front of the computer is really tempting, but sometimes we have to get out of our "comfort zones" to find new people.
