i got C and her friend to go to a speed dating thing with me. Heh. Its so scary, but sounds like it would be fun, nonetheless.
From their site:
Speed dating parties let you meet people face-to-face to see if there is chemistry!
Each party is held at fun, cool bars and is organized so you’ll meet oodles of people on a string of real live mini-dates. When you check-in, your hosts will give you a SCOREcard and ID number that daters will use to identify you, and you’ll take a seat at one of many tables-for-two.
When it’s time to begin, you’ll talk to the person across from you until your host blows the whistle to indicate your date is over (no matter how cute they are!) That’s your signal that it’s time to move on to the next Dater for another whirlwind conversation. And on it goes! Get the picture?
After each date, you’ll ever-so-discreetly circle a “yes” or “no” next to each person’s ID number on your SCOREcard to indicate if you want to be in touch. At the end of the night, you’ll take your SCOREcard home to enter who you liked into our handy-dandy, super-secret online system. We’ll then match you up with who is interested in you too! From there, it’s up to you to get in touch through our secure email system to set up a real date!
Think you won’t remember who was who after meeting all those people in one night? You thought right! Don’t worry…everyone fills out a profile with a photo to help refresh your memory on those you matched with.
Sound crazy? It is! But that’s why it’s so much fun! RSVP for the next party in your city now and see what this speed dating madness is all about!
