Speed dating

Is that when you go to one of those "clubs," sit a table with a catalogue and you choose who you would like to talk to ?

If so, i prefer relationships to come a bit more natural than my McChicken sandwich.
 
I've never been but from what I have heard from friends who have, if you have gab and are not shy you can get quite a bit of lovin'.

Nope, its where you go to a club, and the men sort of cycle through the ladies at each table, getting 2-3 minutes of conversation time with each. everyone speaks to everyone once.

If you're good at flirting and idle chit-chat, you'll do well.

Best way I can describe it really.
 
it's supposed to be great fun. tonnes of girls with low self esteem, if you like that sort of thing. a mate of mine goes a lot and he says it's like a gold mine. not really my sort of thing though, tbh. i can't pretend to care about idle chit chat for long enough to actually gain an interest in someone! :o
 
Hehe I quite fancy doing this some time

Girl 1 - ^5
Girl 2 - ^5
Girl 3 - ^5
Girl 4 - ^5

etc etc

Then witness queue of ladies to meet you again..or something like that :p

Think it would be good fun though, my chat ain't bad and if that don't get them, the silver shirt certainly will :D

Aww am sorry, was gutted I didn't get to show it off! Was even considering putting it in the post up to Davey & Lynne on Friday so it'd be there on Saturday for you to touch 'n' stuff in case I couldn't make it!

Invade away!

Nail Head. And fantastically put.

But, from what I gather, it can be a bit of fun. I just don't gather whether or not you can decide whether you actually like someone from a 5 minute conversation.

Ant :cool:
 
it's unrealistic to expect that you're going to know anything about a long term partner after a 5 minute conversation, but i can figure out in 30 seconds whether i'm going to want to continue a conversation with someone.

good thing about speed dating is you have to base it on attraction. if you feel attracted to the person you're talking to, then you'll display interest and try to perpetuate a conversation.

Sounds like someone went home alone ;)
 
I tried it once after getting roped into it with a mate, it was quite a good laugh because I didn't expect anything from it. You just turn up and there may be some sort of game to break the ice initially then you all sit down at tables with girl facing boy and try to keep chatting for the next couple of minutes. It was surprising some of the connections that you found you had with people through common acquaintances or locations etc.

I wouldn't have said any of the people who were at the one I went to were desperate, quite a few got roped into it as well because it was for charity. I'm not sure I would do it again but at least I can say I've tried it.
