Speed Dating
The Ignored Board home page > Places to Hang Out
Last night I took a friend to a speed dating event in central London.
It was my fourth time (second with the particular company), but it was easily the best experience I've had. I think it was because I knew what to expect, but also because I had a lot more confidence and kept my cool, choosing to think logically rather than base opinions on what the girls were wearing. It almost doesn't matter how many matches I [didn't] get!
Anyway, the company I used was Slow Dating (http://www.slowdating.com/) - they have events in many parts of the UK, and they're very very good.

I have always wanted to go on one of these, but maybe, like many of you, all of my friends are paired up, so it makes it tricky.
And I sure as hell aint going on my own!
So did you meet anyone nice?
And what was the age group?
I assume they limit the numbers so as to make it even?

The events are usually different age groups, and sometimes exclusively for certain kinds of people (lesbian/gay, businesspeople, Antipodean etc.) The one I went to was 20s night (people in their 20s).
I did meet a lot of potentially good people - nobody devastatingly attractive, but quite a few who I thought I'd get on with. Most were there in clusters and were looking for trophies. I've got one match!
One thing to remember is there are some people who abuse the whole "if you don't meet someone you like, you can go to another event for free" policy. They're called girls.

That sounds about right, girls eh!
Glad you have a match, you will need to keep us informed on how its going.
I think I might see if I can get some of the people I work with to come with me to a 20's + 30's one and see what happens!
