Have you ever attended a speed dating event?

[DizzyDesii]

#FeelFreeToList

Yes and it was worth it

Yes and it was awkward

Yes but they only want to hookup instead of find something serious

No but I’d attend

No and I would not attend

[Zoeysiren]

Can't say I have personally, but some of my friends have! It can be a fun way to meet new people in a short amount of time. It's not for everyone, but if you're open to it, it could be a good way to put yourself out there. Just be prepared for some awkward moments and short conversations, but hey, you never know who you might meet!

[handsomelad70]

Zero times.

[TrueConfection]

No, but I'm curious if people find those events successful.

[DizzyDesii]

I mean you're really just exchanging info. The magic begins after the event

[RebelinSteel]

Yes been to a few for a bit of a laugh but also it’s good socialising among like minded people.

These are every few months, a few are repeat offenders 🤣

[DizzyDesii]

Yea i’d like the socializing part.

[sawno]

Not yet, but once I am ready for it health wise I am planning to. I expect to thrive in that environment more than on dating apps.

[DizzyDesii]

It sounds healthier than dating apps

[sawno]

Yeah, I know dating app culture is the top 20% prettiest of men get the swipes and it's basically impossible to convey your personality in a description. Meanwhile I hate taking pictures of myself so there is that.

Meanwhile I usually quite rapidly know if a girl is interesting or not, so skipping straight to the lets just ask each other a couple of important questions part to see if its worth dating you properly sounds right up my alley. It will help me have a chance with people who otherwise don't experience my personality behind a picture and it will also help me quickly skip trough the many girls that will not fit me since I do consider my type rare.

[DizzyDesii]

That does sound good

[Phoenix98]

I see little point in them and am not interested in such events. That aside you can't really form a meaningful connection with someone in 5 minutes or less and I just find the whole thing tedious to move from person to person like that and try to find everything out that I can about someone in just a few minutes.

[Anonymous]

i've never really heard of one in my area , hometown seems to be too small for anyone to organize such an event and not enough actual singles nearby.

but i'd consider going to one even if i had to drive to another city , it might be interesting and a way to get some dating experience if nothing else

[DizzyDesii]

I live in a college town and it seems popular at the school

[Simslover92]

No but I always wanted to attend. I won't ever get to now since I'm in a serious relationship that's basically endgame.

[DizzyDesii]

Endgame :)

[Simslover92]

Yep 😁

[Taniisokay]

No, if the men there are happen to be Muslims looking for potential wife to spend their lives with then I am in.

[DizzyDesii]

Sounds good

[Taniisokay]

Yes. Only muslims men are allowed to marry Christians or Jewish lady. Muslims ladies can only marry a Muslim man to have kids that's Muslim by faith and by practice too. Which is good because Christians my friends, are only Christians by name and churches are empty.

[lilyanony1]

Never I've never seen one advertised here in the uk when I was single. But they did do one at my university but I was taken... So I didn't go

[DizzyDesii]

Yep same when it was one at my uni i was taken back then

[MemeSupreme]

i didn't know they existed lol

and maybe but i feel like i'd be WAY too awkward for that or just like troll the entire time

[DizzyDesii]

I’d just enjoy hearing myself talk honestly 😂

[Drew-1990]

I have never actually have attended one, I would probably try anything now a days but I don't hear of many of these now a days

[DizzyDesii]

My college had them but i never attended. Now there's one happening this month near the beach. Lol I don't know if I’d try one

[Drew-1990]

Lol I get it they sound weird to me honestly but like I said at this point I think I would try, years ago I would probably say no.

[DizzyDesii]

Im a talker so that may run the person away 😭😂

[Drew-1990]

It didn't run me away

[DizzyDesii]

😏😏

[RHK36]

Nah feels forced to me. Best relationships I've had were ones that I wasn't looking for or just happened more organically. Feels desperate to me and I ain't there lol. I'd rather stay single than invite that kinda chaos.

[Lara_Croft]

Imagine having to impress somebody's son in the span of a few minutes hahaha. Nope-unless the Lord willed it

[normalice]

Once. I didn't really take it seriously, though, as I didn't really know what I was doing.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea i’d wonder if people took it seriously

[normalice]

I suppose you aren't really supposed to. That way if you don't find anyone of interest you can just say that doesn't mean you aren't interesting because you weren't taking it seriously. Or at least thats what I think I was about.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea no people know i give my all and dont date for fun. So yes i’d take it seriously if i tried

[normalice]

Well, speed dating isn't really dating. Or at least it wasn't when I did it. A room full of people and they rotated every 2 minutes. If you wanted to exchange info after you did.

[DizzyDesii]

I know that seems fun though its nervewrecking that the one you find interesting may have gotten everyones number

[electromagnetic]

I’ve never tried one. I’ve only heard stories.

[DizzyDesii]

Good things?

[electromagnetic]

Some good, some not so much. It’s more so feeling like they didn’t have enough time.

[DJB72]

No, but I've had "dates" that felt like it 😂

[TrueConfection]

😂😂😂

[DizzyDesii]

dang

[exitseven]

No, but one time I went on a date that I wish was a speed dating event.

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao

[RavVid]

It seem crass to me. People meeting to BS each other.

[Anpu23]

Never, sorry but I'm just not seeing the point.

[worldscolide]

No, they just seem damned inconvenient, and generally not fun.

[DizzyDesii]

Oh wow

[appleadayisgood]

to be honest i never have & never will i have seen them in movies &r tvs show they seem weird to me

[DizzyDesii]

I’d be nervous about the speed daters intentions

[appleadayisgood]

@DizzyDesii very true lots of crazy people out there in life.

i knew the world would turn into shit but i never thought i would be around to see it.

[appleadayisgood]

@DizzyDesii image if it was hosted at six flags lol

[DizzyDesii]

I’d go in a heartbeat 😂

[appleadayisgood]

@DizzyDesii lol i bet hope you dont mind me asking this but i see your Relationship: says Single on here is everything ok with you & your guy?

[DizzyDesii]

I answered your other post

[appleadayisgood]

@DizzyDesii hope you did not mind that i asked.

[appleadayisgood]

@DizzyDesii just wanted to say good morning if you are up.

[ohmyguy]

No but... I totally thinking of signing up just for the hell of it... I'm totally curious enough about it to check it out

[kellytheman]

No but I think it be a fun experience and meet new friends even if there won’t be a romantic or sexual relationship

[Jamie05rhs]

I have, but I didn't participate. I was just going to support my friend.
