Silent dating - all the rage

After speed dating, now silent dating is all the rage in Britain - where singles converse with new partners through e-mail, hand written notes and text messaging, according to an article in The Mirror.

"Silent parties" - are the latest dating trend for singletons. It might not sound like a bundle of laughs but, according to the organisers, it's one of the best ways of finding your Mr or Miss Right. And thousands of people are signing up for silent parties in bars and night-clubs across Britain after the idea crossed the Atlantic.

The guests are mostly career-minded professionals in their 20s and 30s, with jobs in law, medicine and media. These people are too busy to find partners in the conventional way, and they find it easier to lose their inhibitions when they are writing things down, says Guy Holmes, 28, a restaurant manager who regularly organises silent dating parties.

"You might put something in a text which you wouldn't dream of saying directly to someone's face".
