I’d argue that Tinder/Bumble/etc are online speed dating. Instead of the old way of setting up a long dating profile and sending a ton of messages that get ignored, you just quickly swiped, find matches, have a quick chat to see if it’s worth meeting up, then meet for drinks. If you’re spending a ton of time texting before meeting “you’re holding it wrong” so to speak. After a few messages it should be pretty clear if there’s any connection, that’s speed dating in my book.
