In the age of online searches and swipes, speed dating is trying to make a comeback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nervous laughter filled the room in a Sacramento hot spot as singles looked to warm up their winter with a little fast-paced face-to-face interaction. The goal: meet up to 12 people in less than two hours at the Speed Dating event by Sacramento company Pre-Dating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speed dating in 2019 is far away from the tapping keys of any keyboard or the swipe on a smartphone. These men and women were looking to connect the old fashioned way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amanda Garcia drove from Fairfield to give it a go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This is my first time and I&#8217;m really excited,&#8221; Garcia said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eligible men are excited too. Mo Shawki said he&#8217;s tired of those dating apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Not as random as online dating&#8230; it&#8217;s different&#8230; it&#8217;s the better option,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nicole Pineda agrees. She prefers seeing &#8220;eye to eye&#8221; with her potential match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I like it personally because you get the personal interaction and that&#8217;s lost over dating apps,&#8221; Pineda said. &#8220;I appreciate getting to know somebody in person because you pick up on things that you normally would not pick up on over an electronic device.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s very little lost in translation with this approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The speed dating coordinator, Carizma Davis, of Pre-Dating Speed Dating, said she helped arrange six connections and three marriages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may be way too early for these singles to think about a wedding, but their little old-school sit-downs could be the first step toward a new relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/ SACRAMENTO (CBS13)\u00a0\u2014 Dozens of singles are slowing down their search for a love connection by speeding things up.
