Find a cute checkout girl. Go up with your basket. In the basket you would have put: condoms, k-y jelly, vodka, a chocolate dessert of somesort, some candles and a 'thank-you' card Ask her what time she finishes. Job done!

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.

If you're after a further update...

..here it is...

I emailed both girls that I thought were interested/interesting. The older one I told it like it was that I wasn't really looking for an immediate relationship, but more of a social friend thing. She hasn't responded.

T'other girl I added to facebook. I haven't got round to e-mailing her yet. All in good time.

You wanna hear another story?

So last Friday I was at the 12 bar in Swindon and their was a tribute band playing. http://www.themodsband.com/. I went along on my own and their was a youngish girl that caught my eye. She had a cool look about her. Mid-neck black hair, but well styled, cute face. Nicely dressed for the occasion and she was with her overweight friend. They were both drinking, so I thought well they must be at least 18, possibly 19 or 20.

The band were brilliant and there I was dancing away, looking over and smiling to her everyso often. Then these two older ladies (late 30s, early 40s) came dancing over. One was married, but I think she was looking for a bloke for her single friend.

She was nicely dressed, bit of a pointy chin though. So I had the attention of one woman, but I was interested in this other girl. The older women tried a bit of flirting, but I wasn't biting. The older ladies stopped trying after a bit and wondered off.

At the end, the band went off and I made my move. I walked over to this girl and said 'did you enjoy that?'. I think she thought I wasn't talking to her. I got me a drink and her friend wondered off to the loo, so I went back over and started chatting to her.

Now this tribute band were playing 'the who', 'rolling stones', 'small faces', 'kinks' etc, so I was like 'I liked your dancing and how do you know all the words'. She replied that her mum likes this music and pointed to the lady that had just wondered off to the loo.

Her mum came back and this girl went back over to her mum. I went over and offered them both a drink, but they declined and realistically there wasn't a lot left for me to do, so I said 'nice to meet you both' and wondered off.

On the Saturday I was in the new Swindon club 'Liquid and Envy' and saw that women pretty much outnumbered blokes, so I might be heading there more often.
 
I'm quite impressed by you actually. Good work.

We've got a Liquid and Envy round here, its a pit of nasty nasty women though. I might go there!
 
Good work? Man I was cringing reading that. It sounds like you are trying too hard, coming off as desperate, almost like one of those dodgy blokes that constantly pester and persist with women even when it has been made totally clear that they're not wanted.
 
Wonder if anyone who has been speed dating has ever made it work. From what I hear the women go for jollies as its meant to be a fun night out but nothing ever comes of it. Seems you've just proved the theory really!

I don't think I was trying too hard. I made my move. I politely chatted about the evening. I walked away when I saw it looked awkward. It wasn't made clear I wasn't wanted and I didn't pester and persist.

I don't think one man(me) could prove the theory wrong. As I said, I took a lot of positives about the evening away. You could meet your future gf while you're spitting gum out onto the street. It's all about right place, right time.
 
A friend on another forum...

Just got a text and the name came up:

Model who is fit as **** xxx


been speaking to her she's that model who wanted me to go london, well she said i seen her in one bar (first one i went in) and was touching her up and threw peanuts in her face, was at the bar ordered to drinks then ran off so she had to pay, then came back necked my drink and threw a pound in her face and ran off again.

I can't stand football, but thanks for looking out for me Fiocca, my Swindon Brother.

You can find my lovely dating profile on 'Plenty of Fish'. I'm Captain Andrew. Any advice on improvement to pictures and/or profile will be gratefully accepted.

I did have a dating criteria as long as Bounty Kitchen roll, but it now has a daily halflife.

I'm out again this evening watching 'We Smoke Fags'. Wonder what the female crowd will be like?

Why do I put so much of my life on here at the moment?!
