I have often wondered what it would be like to go speed dating. It looks like a bit of fun and a good night out. I think I would be a bit disappointed if no one wanted my number afterwards but I am sure I would have a good time anyway. As far as I know there are no speed dating nights in the town that I live as I think I would really like to give it a whirl.

Have you ever been speed dating? What was your experience like, good? Bad?

I have often wondered as well my friend, my ex went speed dating once and they didn't have much luck, the ones my ex was interested in weren't interested in them and vice versa! Knowing my luck the same would happen to me and I'd be left feeling rejected. I gave up the dating game after I left my ex, I haven't got the time, patience or the inclination no more. I think you have to be in the right frame of mind, and go with an open mind and above all have a good sense of humour!

Hey wolfie34

Oh I have a huge sense of humour and think that I would find the whole evening really amusing if I did go to one, even though I would get no interest, I am not desperate and I think I would have to go with that in mind! I think it would be a hoot!!

Cheers wolfie wink

Ive never done that before though I do know about it, I think its not necessarily a bad thing if a person just wants to have a quick conversation, but I dont think a person can find a real meaningful relationship through going on speed dates, I think online dating might be a little better for that becuse you can take your time and get to know the person, and on speed dating theres a time limit for how long you can talk to that person, so nah I dont think speed datings for me. happy

Hi apples99

I think it is a great way to meet guys, although breif, but I think you would know after about 5 minutes of chatting you would know if you would like to get to know that person better and then you can take your time getting to know them.

Thanks for your response thumbup

I haven't tried speed dating yet. I do think that it's an ingenious way to find your mate in a short amount of time. If given the chance, and if I was single, I'd like to give it a try as well.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Humbug25 (4101)   ranked 214 out of 23,008 in relationships  5 months ago

Hi ya wowdca

I have a friend who has a fella but I am sure she would still come with if I found somewhere where they did it local to us, but she would just do it for a laugh and I don't think her fella would mind cos he knows they are happy with their own relationship and she would be a right laugh.

myLot reputation of 98/100. Humbug25 (4101)   ranked 214 out of 23,008 in relationships  5 months ago

Hey cynthiann

No worries I will try and do my best to explain. What basically happens is you have say 10 men and 10 women and the women sit at a table. Then the men sit at the table with each woman and then a buzzer or bell sounds and they have 5 or 10 minutes to chat (not sure how much time to be honest) and then the buzzer or bell sounds again and the men move onto the next table. At the end of the evening when everybody has chatted to everyone and if there is someone you are interested in then you ask the organisers for that persons contact details or someone might ask for yours. Does that make sense? confused I just think it sounds like a laugh and I would like to know of any experiences people have had doing this, good or bad.


Hope alls well and thanks for your responsethumbup

You know I can see the advantages of this as people are so wrapped up in their stress filled lives that there is not much time to date new peoplel or to meet new people. At least you would know if you were compatible enough to become friends. and with some there may be instant chemistry - although we should not trust instant chemistry!

It is a good way for singles to meet and there is no pressure evidently as if you do not want to date the person you do not have to.

If I was young then I may have done it. The stories afterwards would probably be hilarious too

I think it would be interesting to go on "speed dating." If I was single, I would definitely try it out. Just to see what's up. I would probably be hesitant with giving my number though. I have some friends who are single - they wanted me to go with them on a "lunch speed dating." I declined because I didn't think it would be honorable to my significant other.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Humbug25 (4101)   ranked 214 out of 23,008 in relationships  5 months ago

Hi there khayshenz

I agree with you, I couldn't do it if I had a significant other either, I would feel that I was cheating on him somehow!

Thanks for your response thumbup

I haven't been to one but I do know a friend of mine met his future wife at one. He had to pay some fee, he didn;t tell me how much, and even though he found his girlfriend there, now girlfriend, he said he wouldn't do it again. And so does she say that. She said there were so many losers there it was unbelievable.

Some of the guys she met were so dirty and disgusting. And you have to give them three minutes of your time. Now that doesn't sound like a long time but she says it is way too long, especially when the guys are creeps.

She said she went three times, it's free for the women, till she met my friend Chris. She said she only went on a bet and had to agree to go three times to win the bet. To her surprise she met my friend Chris and was happy to have met him.

So I guess it can work but it isn't all that much fun, according to my friend Chris and his new fiance Nancy.
