Speed Dating

A coworker and I are banding together to coordinate our own singles speed dating events.

Event one: On some Friday night, we coordinate an speed dating event. After all dates are done round robin, they can leave their contact info for someone in a valentines type box during a casual mingle.

Event two: The next night, hold a party for singles and couples. People can come and have a chance to talk and flirt. Ice is already broken. The crowd provides security and plenty of excuses to open up conversations.

Whatever comes next: People have exchanged info, and had two interactions in an private and a platonic setting. Maybe it could work!

Diest TKO and Ogionik,
You're sweet.

I'll let everyone know how it went.

Ok, I can't help but comment. Speed dating? No time for it? What, is it not fast enough to squeeze into your schedule? Are you waiting for someone to come up with "speedier dating" so you'll have the time?

Sorry, I just found this line humorous. I promise to behave now.

OK you all, It went down last night. I actually had a lot of fun. I was nervous at first but then lightened up when the first guy arrived at my table.
I didn't meet anyone that I felt an instant attraction to but did find two guys interesting enough to hang out with.
There were 15 men. The women were seated at individual tables with numbers. Every 6 minutes they rang a bell and the guy moves on to the next table. We were all given score cards and you are supposed to take notes and go to a website and vote for who you'd like to see again. Then it takes you to a page and shows you if your picks also voted for you.
It's a little silly and lame, I know. But I had fun talking to the different people. Some were a little scary but most were nice enough.

does sound scary
