Speed dating redux

Tweet

Well, I went to my first Speed Dating event last night. It wasn't too bad, certainly more fun than having dental work done (with or without freezing) but I'm not sure I'd do it again. The venue was crowded and therefore very noisy, necessitating either yelling or talking directly into ears. Towards the end, I think the time keepers were blowing the whistle every two minutes, rather than the stated three minutes. It was a little slow getting started, and then ended early, so I only got to "date" about a dozen instead of the estimated 20 expected (60 minutes divided by 3 minutes each equals 20 dates). I marked a few as "maybes" but the rest were "nos". There were some I would have liked to talk to but didn't get the chance. Then, after the music started, conversation was not possible, although it wasn't as ear-splitting as it was at the last PoF event I attended. My friend and I left about 10 pm.
