Well after splitting up with my gf of 3.5 years and not meeting many new women in my current situation or through online dating, I have signed up for speed dating in Swindon this evening.

My online dating history so far...
Met 1st gf online - 3 months
Met up with another 2 girls online.
Met 2nd gf online - 3.5 years
Recently
Met up with one girl in Bath. She was hot. She wanted to open up a sexy lingerie store in Bath that also sold vibrating toys and her gran had a villa in Barbados. We arranged to meet again, then she had a change of heart and wanted to date someone in Bath. (She set the bar real high though)
I arranged to meet up with a girl from my home town of Swindon and she cancelled on me. There doesn't seem to be further interest there.

Online dating at 28 sucks. The amount of divorced and/or single mothers is astounding. I'm too old it seems to pick up a hot early 20 something and too young for the commitment that goes with a female my age and older.

So onto Speed Dating.

The age range for women is 26-36. Men is 28-38. I'm 28.

I wouldn't say I'm nervous, but obviously I need your help in polite chit-chat and things women would want to hear from me in the 4 minute slot they have with me. Answers in a thread please...

I promise to let you all know how it goes.
 
Hobbies, interests? Let them talk to see if they share any of them, and if they have an annoying voice/tone/way of speaking. 4 mins is hardly a long time to pass :P
 
There's speed dating in swindon? O_o I thought most people in swindon just went to walkabout and used a cane to drag anyone they liked the look of to them :p
 
Can't offer much advice as I haven't done it myself, but I'm sure it'll look better if you ask more questions and listen, as we all know women like to natter on and on :p
 
Hmm, if I was ever to go speed dating I'd probably try to think of something a bit obscure to ask them. In that situation they are probably going to be asked the same few questions over and over again. "so what do you do?" "any hobbies?" etc.. If you ask something a bit different you're more likely to stick in their head. Try asking what their favourite cheese is or what animal they'd most like to be. This of course might end up making you look like a complete weirdo. I am one, which is why I thought of it, so maybe only try this on a few of them.

PK!
 
Don't knock single mums. My fiancee was a single mum when we met and I was apprehensive as hell. Now I have a beautiful woman on my arm and a cute daughter in to the bargain.

So so tempting to post something so so wrong... :p

PK!
 
Try the following:

What's your favourite kind of pylon?
So, how many trees do you think you've seen?
Have you noticed any meteorites lately [be careful to specify meteorites and not meteors]?
Fancy playing 'you fap, you lose'?
I once saw a turnip shaped like Idi Amin. Have you come across any dictator-shaped vegetables?
I used to like the Arctic Monkeys before they went all mainstream, didn't you?
This sucks, let's go play in the lifts.

Sorry but i would hate to look after a kid that didn't have my DNA. I would feel like they were sponging off of me.

I know other can, and hats off to them, but i can't

I like your style and do hate cliched questions when trying to find out about someone. I will throw this one in for you PK.

My other question was going to be 'is it considered gay if two guys are double-teaming a woman and their wands touch?'

Why?
It's the same feeling when I come home from work and she says "I love you Daddy" and gives me a big hug whether she's my own flesh and blood or not.
We're working on child #2 now.
