Buttercup84 Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 I'm not 100 % over my ex yet , and want to remain single . But I signed up for speed dating just to see what it's like . Has anyone ever done that before ? I've never heard a success story . Apparently the men are professionals ( not " professionals " hehe ) so hopefully not some creeps . Though you can't really judge .

No success, but not an awful experience. One of my friends got married to someone she met speed dating.
fificremefarben Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 I've never exactly done speed dating but I've done something abroad which had a similar style. It was a language exchange between french and english speakers to help practice speaking whichever language they were learning(speaking for ten minutes in one language, ten minutes in the other and then moving on to the next person). It was fast-paced, exciting and a lot of fun. You might not meet any romantic interests out of it (and there's no pressure on you to do so), but it's just good to get out there and talk to people and, who knows, you might make some good friends. I say go for it! xx
M2155 Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 I've done it. Low-pressure fun experience. Wasn't fooling myself by having great expectations, the people were nice but nothing came out of it. I'd do it again though, more fun than standing around at a bar.
CopingGal Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Buttercup, you have been through so much. Maybe you should heal some more. You have hard such a hard time with this break up. Maybe you should focus on yourself and try to have a great life without dating until you have healed more. What do you think? By the way, I tried to send you a message, but I could not.
