What do people think about speed dating?
I've done the speed dating thing one time and wasn't really impressed with it but wanted to know what others thought about it!

I did it at the Reunion and LOVED it!!
Of course, I kept hoping I could have more time, but still had so much fun with what time I was given with each and every person I was blessed enough to share that special time with.

I cant say that I understand the rationale for the speed dating concept. To me, it is a reflection on our short attention spans, pursuit for efficiency, and time management obsession.
Dating, to me, is investing the time getting to know someone. It is a time to savor, an energy to share, commonalities to find, differences to explore, adventures to take. To me, it is settling for a big mac when what you really want is beef wellington. |

I've never done it, but have watched videos of it online.
I think it would be a way to sample many women, and ask those important questions you have. I think it could separate the good from the bad, especially if you have good intuition. Deborah |

Not for me thanks. I prefer taking the time to truly get to know someone before a date of any sort.

If you'd just get that Hello Kitty tattoo, women would be coming up to you on the street, handing you their numbers. Just saying.

It sounds like an oxymoron to me and makes me feel like taking a nap. But more power to those who enjoy it!

If I were more extroverted, I would consider it. It seems like a fun way to meet potential "real" dates.
However, I am super duper introverted and pretty sure I'd suck at it. |

Quite! I wouldn't consider speed dating to be akin to real dating. Seems like it could be a step up from just going to a place with lesbians with the hopes of striking up a conversation.

Would I do speed dating? Maybe, if it was an option where I lived and I was interested in being in a relationship. I do know from mistakes in my past that it's important to do a screening process and not just based on appearances. Deborah |
