annie24 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 i don't know - i don't think i would do it, because i'm already doing online dating, and i doubt the pool of men would be different? my friend did it and met his gf of 3 months. Link to comment
ImThatGirl Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I have no idea but you have to share with us after you've been! Sounds fun! I'm sure someone on here has done it....! Link to comment
starlight40 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Aw bet thats a right laugh! Ive never been to anything like that but id just say be yourself and have lots of fun! xx Link to comment
annie24 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 i think just talking about your job, etc... is probably kind of boring. do something memorable, to separate you from the other boring guys. i don't know - start off with a compliment on her hair, a fun colored sweater, etc....tell her you signed up for speed dating because you're an astronaut and this is your week off, you'll be on the space station next week, or something else goofy but memorable.

rikka Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I did it a couple of times for fun - oddly enough i did meet one of my exes that way. It is a lot of fun. Really it is an introduction (and it is all about first impressions) and it is all about energy. Be yourself and have fun. I had more fun asking the off the wall kind of questions. Sometimes the three (or five) minutes can DRAG ON FOREVER if you have a dud. One guy sat down at my table and instead of "hello how are you" he said "I don't like to talk" and proceeded to give one word answers for the next couple of minutes. I then gave up and enjoyed my drink. Link to comment

Darryl2312 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hi, I met my current girlfriend at speed dating, its been 3 months today we met oddly enough and I couldnt be happier. Youll be surprised how nice and normal the people that go are ! As far as convo goes, DONT have ideas in your head to talk about, just go with the flow after the first few dates, its a piece of cake, good luck ! Link to comment
