That is a valid point. Speed dating is a tough format. In the past, speed dating events were set up so that you filled out a card after the event and then you found out who was a mutual match. It seems like some speed dating events have slightly changed formats over the years.With the rushed nature of speed dates, I have a hard enough time squeezing in an opening to hand out my card, let alone ask her out on a date right then and there (plus, after a 5 minute speed date, I'm not sure she'd have enough of a gauge either way of whether she'd like to date me...that's where the card comes into play, as it would give her a chance to chat with me some more before we decide whether to officially date)
Even though your idea to ask her out on an actual date in person sounds excellent, there's one downside: With the sheer amount of broads at a speed dating event, I'd come across as desperate if I asked out multiple broads on official dates (I say "multiple broads" because: Let's face it, I'd probably have to ask out more than one woman at the speed dating event before I got an acceptance)
Speed dating is a form of a structured singles event. This forum has an excellent thread on structured singles events.
Are Structured Singles Events a Waste of Time?
Mostly every unattached person has dealt with this. The potential invitation to a "singles event" or "singles mixer". It is a chance for unattached people to meet. It's not a general night out at a bar, which has unattached people interspersed with attached people. Everyone here is unattached by...

I disagree that asking out multiple women at a venue makes a man look desperate. On regular bar nights (unstructured), it is common for a man to approach multiple women and ask out more than one woman at that venue. Then, there are also guys who daygame on streets, in parks, on paths, etc. Those daygamer guys will ask out multiple women at the same park or same grocery store in a day.
