What do people think about speed dating?
I've done the speed dating thing one time and wasn't really impressed with it but wanted to know what others thought about it!
|
I did it at the Reunion and LOVED it!! Of course, I kept hoping I could have more time, but still had so much fun with what time I was given with each and every person I was blessed enough to share that special time with. :) |
Thank you Ms MaggieBlues!!!
|
I've never done it but willing to try if the opportunity arises!!
|
It's a tool in the art of dating and it has its place.
|
I wanted to thank everyone that posted on this thread and it has helpped me with the feed back I hope others will also voice thier opinions as well! Thank you again !

I cant say that I understand the rationale for the speed dating concept. To me, it is a reflection on our short attention spans, pursuit for efficiency, and time management obsession.
Dating, to me, is investing the time getting to know someone. It is a time to savor, an energy to share, commonalities to find, differences to explore, adventures to take. To me, it is settling for a big mac when what you really want is beef wellington. |

I've never done it, but have watched videos of it online.
I think it would be a way to sample many women, and ask those important questions you have. I think it could separate the good from the bad, especially if you have good intuition. Deborah |
Not for me thanks. I prefer taking the time to truly get to know someone before a date of any sort.

I've never speed dated before. It could be a hoot! I'm game! :koolaid:
|
It sounds like an oxymoron to me and makes me feel like taking a nap. But more power to those who enjoy it!
|
If I were more extroverted, I would consider it. It seems like a fun way to meet potential "real" dates.
However, I am super duper introverted and pretty sure I'd suck at it. :) |
Quite! I wouldn't consider speed dating to be akin to real dating. Seems like it could be a step up from just going to a place with lesbians with the hopes of striking up a conversation. ;)

I've never done it, but I think it would be a way to screen and get to the winners, to have a greater chance of dating someone who could be a match. Just my opinion. Deborah |

I am shy until I get to know someone then I open up to them |

Would I do speed dating? Maybe, if it was an option where I lived and I was interested in being in a relationship. I do know from mistakes in my past that it's important to do a screening process and not just based on appearances. Deborah |

This introvert could never do that. I would spend the five minutes palms sweating and tripping over my words, only to have to move on. I suck at small talk, and real conversations can’t happen in five minutes.

I did a speed dating once at a queer kinky event and met someone I played with that night. That was like seven years ago and we're still good friends and occasionally indulge in some kinky play. I say that speed dating was very successful! I haven't been to a "real" one though, and probably never would.

Speed dating
I have never tried speed dating but I would try it at least once.
Made me think about my youth in the disco bars but "dating" was not what we were doing by a long shot. Haha! :danceparty: |
I would do speed dating in a heartbeat........
And not to derail the thread but I once read about a party/event where everyone brought 1 person with them that they felt was a very nice person but there just wasn't any chemistry/connection between them. This sound like something I'd like to give a shot to as well......... |

Never...never will "speed" date...doesn't fit with "savoring"...in other words, getting to know a femme woman who deserves more than 5 mins...Greco
|
I would try it.
I haven't tried speed dating but I think I would just to see what it's like.
I wouldn't need a lot of time to know if I vibe with someone. I just need a couple of minutes to know if there's enough interest, curiosity and commonalities to build on. |
hum i suppose it's a nice concept but it's a nope for me i'll need a little time to learn about the other so no
|
Sounds a tad overwhelming.
|
Sounds like I would need to bring my running shoes and workout apparel. ;)

I'd most likely never do 'speed dating'.
I look at it this way: people have countless ways to get to know another person. In our everyday lives, we work with others at work or casually meet people while shopping for groceries or while waiting in line at the post office or while driving in traffic or riding public transit (etc). I view each set of instances as an way to get to know others. It takes time, for me, to really know someone. Hence, why I think speed dating is more like some over the top way to know someone. Again, it's not my first choice in trying to know someone better.:rrose: |
