Mariah Carey wants to try speed dating.

The "Hero" singer is so desperate to find a new man she is planning on going to a speed dating evening - an organized event where women meet a number of different men on 'mini-dates'.

She said, "I really like the idea of speed dating. I like the idea of 15 mini-relationships each lasting three minutes and then you go home alone."

Mariah - who divorced her record executive husband Tommy Mottola in 1997 after four years of marriage - revealed she doesn't like the "formality" of traditional dates.

She said, "What is a date supposed to be like in the 21st Century? It's a bit old-fashioned and formal for me. I mean, I don't need to know if the guy can afford to buy dinner, do I?"

"With me it just moves from hanging out with a guy to them becoming my boyfriend without too much hassle."

Since her divorce, Mariah has been romantically linked to Latino singer Luis Miguel, music executive Mark Sudack, rapper Eminem and baseball player Derek Jeter.
