The dramatic rise in popularity of speed dating Is attributed to a modern hectic lifestyle, longer working hours and the disappearance of traditional ways of meeting.

Japan, like Australia, is entering an ageing population crisis with over 2000 schools closed in the last decade. In fact the Japanese Goverment pays for speed dating. Peter Costello has emphasised our own Impending crisis.

World Date is fast, fun and rejection-free. This novel scheme took off in America and has even featured in an episode of the hit US comedy 'Sex and the City'.
