Would anyone be interested in speed-dating? What I have read
and heard about it, seems very safe. Just don't know if I
could meet 8 guys, decide if we click in 8 minutes and want
to meet again on our own time. dunno

I've heard about it, it seems safe, but it doesn't sound like something I'd like to try any time.

If you try it, let me know how it went, though, Sassy girl. hug

Well, I guess you could exchange email addys and phone numbers and talk on the phone for awhile before you decided to go out with each other.grin confused

There haven't been any speed dates in this are for me to go to. But I would try it. The whole idea is to meet and see if they grab your interest with a few opening lines. I'm not clear as whether you can give them just an email or phone number if they set up to where you go out on another date. Either way I think it would be a great way to meet people and see what's out there. But I'm the type to try most anything once.

If you do it I wish you the bestbouquet

Yeah I've heard about it. It sounds like it might be interesting. I might try it if I were single. You never know, you just might click with someone right away. At least it would be an experience.

One goes on not too far from here. Have been thinking about
it as I told my sis nothing else is working right now. You
meet in a good atmosphere and spend 8 minutes with each person,
some are a wee bit longer. If I give it a go I will have
a thread on how it went. I'm not getting any younger and
I can be Sassy, so what have I got to lose. wink

I've heard of it too. You couldn't pay me to do it. It makes absolutely no sense to me. I don't understand how some people can do it. Romantically speaking it's hard to gain a woman's interest under normal conditions. frustrated doh

I just copied and pasted this off the site for 8 minute dating and this is what it says about exchanging phone and email addresses.

SAFE: At 8minuteDating events, the conversations are comfortable and safe because nobody is allowed to ask for your last name, phone number or for a date. After each date, if both participants indicate that they would like meet again, the 8minuteDating organizers will provide phone numbers and e-mail addresses to both parties.

Is a fun night, has become popular here, is 3 minutes of chatting, you mark on you card if you like someone, hand your card to the organisers, if you match with someone they pass on details.

Depending on which you attend you spend 8 minutes or a few more
with each man/woman. wave

Been there, done it. If you want a serious relationship, forget about speed dating. Even if you're not serious, the women are just as impossible to impress as in real life.

Good point. I've been on this site for weeks and have only met one woman that was serious enough to actually talk on the phone. I see a lot of profiles and posts that say, "No men will be serious about me." or "Men will chat but then disappear." Try to b just a friend to some of these same women and they give you the cold shoulder.rolling on the floor laughing

Good evening Sassy. wave

Yes, I've heard about speed-dating.

Don't think I'd be interested to try it. To me, it sounds like a convair belt. giggle

But I am sure it works for some ppl.

Well Paradox67, You are one step ahead of me. I have had no phone calls, but have chatted with my dear friend in Ireland
on the mic. a time or two. conversing
