It was originally about friending but was named speed dating to absorb the blow of Valentines and shift the view of the day as a "lovey dovey" day into a more Friend centric and bonding day for your fellow man.
If you look through the archives it worked and actually helped redirect Valentines Day 2019 from being a lonely day where people cursed those "couples" or those pressured thinking they need to be in a "vrfu" relationship and such into a more "make friendly bonds with another anon or two"
