Speed Dating

So I survived speed dating! And it was actually a lot of fun, I'd do it again and recommend it to other people.

First off, I had apprehensions about it going in. What if there were 20 women and only 5 men? What if all the guys were in their 40s and 50s? But I had nothing to worry about. Majority of everyone was in their late 20s early 30s, probably around 50 people. Actually ended up being 3 more men than women!

Basically the women grabbed a seat and then the men moved to the next woman every 4 min. Getting started they were a tad disorganized, I sat with the first guy for 20 min. And unfortunately he was a doozer. He was from DC, in his 40s and just plain weird. He was taking notes on everything I said, and then kept looking around to see what everyone else was doing, jumping up from his seat etc. So he definitely got a N.

-Side note: everyone had a nametag with their name and a number on it. You had a sheet where you wrote down everyone's name and # and then could put notes. Once your 4 min were up you could check yes or no for the person. If both people checked yes for each other then you received their contact info.

Once they got started though things flew. Some guys were really funny, there was a group of 4 guys who were obv just doing it for kicks, they were out of control crazy. Cute dudes, and as S put it, the type of guys you'd sleep with, but not try to date! After a couple of people it felt like there was only 2 min a round. I kind of lost track of who I was saying yes to, I didn't want to check people when they were right by me, or for others to see my sheet. We actually ran out of time and I didn't get to talk to everyone. I think in the end I said yes to 4 of 11-12 guys?

So Monday I get to work and I had a match, one of the guys said Yes to me also. I of course, can't remember who he is!! Go figure. :-) So I did my detective work and figured out who he was. Nice guy, but not sure I meant to say yes to him. He emailed me right away, and we've actually exchanged emails a few times. Seems like a good guy but not sure if interested. He wants to maybe hang out next week so I probably will, just to see how things go.

No matter what it was fun and I'd do it again!
