Speed Dating Was The Best Fun I Had In Ages
Author: Charles Day  | Posted: 05-02-2007 | Comments: 0 | Views: 29 | Rating: (50)  (?) 
The trick to successful speed dating is not to take it too seriously. It is meant to be a bit of fun, an enjoyable way to spend an evening. Dont get me wrong, love can and will blossom at these events, however this is usually a result of the introduction and subsequent dates. That said, there was a case in the press recently of a couple that are happily married, they claim love at first sight following a brief meeting at a speed dating event.
I try to go to a speed dating event at least once a month. I try to attend events that are in my local area, however different to the last one I went to. The reason for this is because, you do tend to see the same faces at some of these events, and the whole idea to me is to meet with new people.
I never have any expectations of finding the one at a speed dating event. Instead, I prefer to keep an open mind and go with the flow. To me, the best part about speed dating is meeting people. They say that you can make up your mind about someone within 30 seconds of meeting them for the first time, I think this is true. So a 15 minute date with someone is fantastic, if you dont like them it is not a long to wait until the next one. On the other hand, if you do like them, you can ask to meet them for longer next time.
Nowadays, speed dating is a much more widely excepted form of dating and entertainment. There are speed dating events that cater to all types of people and niches, for example there are events that are aimed at specific age groups, sexuality or in extreme cases Ive seen, professions. Its true; I saw an advert for a speed dating event designed exclusively for farmers, quite why farmers should be picked out is any ones guess.
If youve never been speed dating before, you are seriously missing out on some fun. Its a great chance to meet people and mingle with like minded people. My only advice would be to think about the questions that you will ask. This is a real opportunity to shine because most participants ask the same general questions; what is your job, likes, dislikes, do you have pets etc? Try thinking outside the box, after 30 dates youll stand out more if you approached it differently.

Transitions,single father,3 year child,2 year relationship
By: diddywhat | 06-09-2007
Trying to figure out where I am in a relationship.Been with a girl for 2 years, had our problems with trust in the last 8 months, basically that she was flirting with other guys and I was worried she would cheat on me. Then she did with her co-worker and then she told me about it, just a little bit at a time. We had been planning a river rafting trip together (on which I was thinking of asking her to marry me), I was kind of uninvited, so I took a road trip with my son who is 3 (I'm 25) and ended in my hometown of Seattle. Along the way I found out I got into Grad, school and was very exited so I never went back down. I actually heard about getting into school while I was in rehab for marijuana that her and I had smoked habitually. She said she was so proud of me and loved me so much, and then I wrote her long letters and felt myself loving her. When she brought up Leni I tried to ask about what was going on with them and she got all upset and it seemed obvious to me that they were fooling around with each other. Then recently I met a girl at a festival who was very cool, but lives in a different city, so we exchanged things over the internet and in the process I changed my myspace thing to single. Then the girl i had been with for 2 years writes me emails freaking out about this, and I bluntly tell her the truth that I met a girl and wanted her to know the reality of my situation that I live alone with my son, and am not in a family unit. Then she calls screaming and crying and I end up telling her I love her, which I do, and end up making plans for her to come visit, and making plans for us to get back together in 6 months. I love this girl and I know she loves me, but I don't understand why she pushed me away and I'm concerned she may have too many issues to deal with. Any advice?
My plan for becoming Miley Cyrus's Boyfriend...What's your opinion?
By: HB120 | 06-09-2007
What is your opinion on this? Do you think it will work or not work? Why or why not? Here it goes. Say I go to the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus concert in Worcester, MA this year and hand Hannah a bunch of flowers after the last song. On the flowers is a note to that asks if Miley could meet me outside the building after all the fans have left. On the note, I ask her to spend just 5 MINUTES with me. Near the end of my little VIP session, I kiss her. Do you think that this will work on not. Why or why not? P.S. No hate posts saying that Miley is all yours. If you do I just might drive by 'yalls neighborhood with some of my homies!
