Ad in 27/09/2008:
Hi, I’m a Portuguese theatre artist who has recently arrived in London and I’m interested in doing a project about dating. So I’ve decided to do some research.
If you’ve got something to tell me about dates or if you’re looking for an unusual encounter please reply.
Our date could be a walk in the park or along the Thames, going to museum or for a coffee.
I will just ask you some questions for my research and hopefully we’ll have a good time.
If you would like to participate in this experience please contact me.

Speed Dating started with an email from a friend that was living in London. I was in Lisbon preparing to move to London. I was looking for a job and a house. He wrote “existe uma serie de websites para houseshares e trabalhos, um dos mais populares e www.gumtree.com la consegues procurar casa, trabalho e ate namoradas!!!”. I thought he was joking, but he wasn’t.
In London I discovered that you find ads for dating everywhere: facebook, time-out even in the guardian…
I’ve never dated before… I just know dates from Hollywood movies… So I decided to discover this cultures so different from my own dating. What is behind dating: loneliness, ability to know other people, love, sex… How does a person relate to dates when he only knows then from movies.
