Just got in from speed dating, registering happened first in the bar, where groups of girls looked confident while individual men looked nervous. I decided to chat to one of the men - he turned out to be a computer programmer, thus fulfilling all my stereotypes about men who go speed dating.
Then off for round one of speed dating, we were moved into a vacuous room with tables around the edge. We had to start at the table with the number on our badges, talk for 4 minutes, then move on at the bell. By about person 8 everyone needed the loo and was desperate for a break.
Part 2 was tiring, I was losing my voice and just could not be bothered by the last few!
So who did I meet? 18 girls (only 16 men, 2 walked out after about 10 minutes!!!) I ticked just over half, although only 3 had a really instant appeal. 3 girls wore tops too low, 4 were students, 3 were civil servants, 3 worked in a jewelry shop, 1 was an “entertainer”, 3 were teachers, and 2 were researchers at the uni, one worked in a slaughter house (I kid you not). One girl was totally pissed, two were posh, 2 seemed totally disinterested, 2 made me laugh, one was black, one was Asian.
So tomorrow I need to input my “ticks” into the site and wait to see if any of them ticked me!
I enjoyed the evening lots - very demanding on the social skills, but I am glad I did it... and if the well spoken teacher who made me laugh ticks me I will be very happy!
