Anyone have any thoughts about speed dating? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_dating)

Anyone tried it (or know anyone who has). Does it work or is it just a bunch of crap?

What happened to your gf?

Speed dating is a gimmick. Better to hang out at museums and art galleries.

Oh God. That is a long, complicated story (if you are genuinely curious, I suppose I could go into detail, but you may fall asleep due to sheer boredom). I broke up with her about a week and a half ago. :(

if your thinking about going, i say give it a try, it might be fun but you'll never truly know till you try!

I'm considering it... but I guess I'm holding some skepticism. We base so much of how we view people on first impressions (and first impressions are almost always the wrong ones). And I'm not entirely certain that I'm the type of person someone can instantly be into within the first 6-8 minutes. I consider myself more of a grower...

Hmmm...

No. If I were to do this, it would be within a month or so. I'm by no means ready for it now. Just thinking a few months ahead...

P.S. - Haha... peanut.

Exactly. Like a mushroom, but the kind you can eat. Not the ones where you get sick if you pick them in the forest...

do you have a dog?

girls are attracted to men with dogs...i <3 dogs

so you go out walking your dog and run into someone who's like "oh what a
cute dog!" and you strike up a conversation with them and start talking for
a long time and you get to know more about her but it starts getting late,
but then she gives you her phone number so you can call her, go out on a
date, and there you go! :)

I haven't got any pets, but I have no doubt that'd work.

Dammit, most of my classes have a majority of girls. Surely there's gotta be someone in those classes...

Back to the drawing board.

Yeah, or just say "Nice dog. My penis is abover average length. Let's fuck".

This is my equivalent to Bob sleeping with another dude on New Year's, right?

OH, you want to sleep with a man?

You're talking to the wrong guy - I mean I like ABBA as much as the next man, but I dunno about that.

No, I meant that the joke about the "above average penis size" is the same as the joking over Bob sleeping with another dude.

But hey, if Bob is lonely, I'll do what I can...

If I was single, I would give speed dating a try, why not? I'd go with a friend, do it just for shits and giggles, if you meet someone great if not that's fine too, it's sure to be entertainment at least.

Worked for me. (y)

Either way, my friend's thinking about speed dating now. The idea's always been foreign to me. Basically because people don't get that I'm being sarcastic most of the time, which is awkward when you're getting to know someone. (n)

One of my good friends just found a speed dating card in her boyfriend's trash can. When confronted, he initially denied anything, then said it was for an experiment and then confessed he'd met 4 different girls that he would consider dating material. Another friend of mine actually went speed dating a lot in NYC. Since she was such a busy career girl, it was a good way for her to meet a lot of people in a short amount of time.

indeed. I think it's a lame way to meet someone but then again I cannot really talk (ahem, mb). So you know.
