解析
步骤 1：理解快速约会和传统约会的区别
快速约会是一种新型的约会方式，它允许单身人士在没有压力的情况下与其他可能喜欢的人见面。快速约会通常在一个晚上进行，参与者可以进行几十次快速约会。每次快速约会的时间通常不到十分钟，有些服务甚至将每次约会限制在只有三分钟。这给了人们足够的时间来给对方留下印象，以便每个人都可以决定是否想再次见到对方。如果双方在约会卡上都标记“是”，那么服务将安排他们联系对方以安排真正的约会。
步骤 2：分析选项
A选项：夫妻在同一天可以做许多活动。这与快速约会的定义不符，快速约会强调的是快速和频繁的约会，而不是在同一天做许多活动。
B选项：通常不可能再见到那个人。这与快速约会的定义不符，快速约会的目的是让参与者有机会再次见到对方。
C选项：约会时间通常很短。这与快速约会的定义相符，快速约会强调的是快速和频繁的约会，每次约会的时间通常不到十分钟。
D选项：人们通常很了解对方。这与快速约会的定义不符，快速约会强调的是快速和频繁的约会，而不是深入了解对方。
步骤 3：选择正确答案
根据快速约会的定义和选项分析，正确答案是C选项：约会时间通常很短。
