LoginI arrived on the singles scene in with an aching heart and a lot to learn. Seemingly overnight, dating apps had shifted from the desperate domain of the overs to the new normal. Every man and his dog were on Tinder — or every man and his sedated tiger, all dumb grins and flexed muscles bulging out of Bintang singlets. Initially hesitant, I got into the swing of it soon enough; window-shopping for boys from the comfort of your couch sure has its benefits, and amongst the beefed-up bodybuilders and BDSM buffs, there seemed to be a few potential suitors. After all, I have a clean record, wide smile and impeccable hygiene. The reality was rife with rejection.

Speed-friending works much in the same way as speed-dating does. Leaving the confines of school or university, or moving to a new city often poses problems for people looking to make new friends as adults. This was a problem Dereck Phelan faced when he moved to Dublin from Kilkenny for a job as an electrician two years ago. While there were plenty of options for dating around the city, finding a way to meet new people outside of a romantic context proved difficult.
The dearth of rental properties in Dublin has spawned a new property trend: speed flatmating. This involves prospective tenants being matched with people who have a room to let in the accommodation-starved capital. Some have signed up to attend a second function at the venue on Wednesday, accord- ing to Aidan Coughlan, group editor of Lovin Dublin, the restaurant review website that is organising the gatherings. Coughlan expects the events to be held monthly, and believes there is potential for speed flatmating in cities such as Galway and Cork as well.
