Hi GUys and thanks for the replies. I am still on the fence about it and didn't realize you actually had to pay! LOL. As far as internet, I am with CE on that. I mean if it works for people then great but it's just not for me. If that's placing a stigma then so be it.
I do agree tho that it's not all that easy to meet people but it's not impossible and I think it depends on your attitude. I mean every minute, second of everyday, we are all in a position to meet new people at work, the store..like you all said.. so there's no excuse. I need to remind myself of that. But since I don't approach men, I have to wait for them to do so. I know it's old fashioned but I won't be the first one to ask a man out. Never. Not my style. I do think tho that I could flirt more and be more readily approachable as to not intimidate men I like.
Usually, I have met guys when I least expected it. When my hair was a mess and I was on my way back from a run, or whatever...Funny story...
I had a couple and I swear this is true, start talking to me at the grocery store. The man said,"you are so cute, are you single, I know this sounds crazy but can i get your card, my son's friend is single, a doctor in the ER..he's a little short tho, do you mind" I was speechless but said sure why not and gave him my card. Now that might have been just as risky as the internet. And the guy actually called me and we have a date planned. I am nervous tho. Just how short is he
And best of all it turns out that my best friend since second grade who also works in the ER happens to work in the same hospital as him. Says, he is super nice..
And when we talked we said that we would both do the speed dating thing with my friend as well. I joked and said that it should be our first meeting. We would meet there and see if we would pick eachother out. Funny.
The point is I might try it or not. And sure put your self out there but I would have to say that CE is right about the men doing it are likely, to be real AFCs. I know my former DJ or any of my ex's for that matter wouldn't be caught dead speed dating. Not that I am ragging on those who have but it's hard for me to get past the sheer humor of it's enrire concept.
Dating today. Sigh. I mean think about all the people out there looking for someone special. It's amazing when you think about all the sites, matchmaking companies, even personal dating consultants. Thousands of dollars they are making.
We'll see but thanks again. For the guy on here who is going to Speed date for the first time, keep me posted on your experience.
