Speed Dating Rocks
After a year of pissing about saying that I will do speed dating, I finally did it last night, and I must say that I am sorry that I didn't try it sooner! It is brilliant fun! Before anyone thinks I met someone, I didn't meet anyone who I thought, 'Sh*t, I'm in love!', but I have already had a date match, and there are at least two men that I would definitely like to stay friends with.
I took a relatives advice and decided to let the men do a bit more talking and I wasn't as boisterous as I usually am. Apparently because I'm confident and very talkative, this may in fact not give men an opportunity to put themselves across to me. Yeah whatever! - But I did take the advice!
I wore a wrap-around top, which made my bust look nice, but didn't put it on show, a short-ish(but not tarty) pleated skirt, and my FMB's (F*ck Me Boots). Yes I know that was a bit naughty, but I actually wore a different pair of shoes to work and it was pissing rain when I got to work, so I changed into the boots that I had just re-heeled. Most guys couldn't see them when I was sitting down, so hopefully I didn't look like I was gagging for a shag!
Making conversation was quite easy, although the first guy sounded like the robot voice on my childhood Speak and Spell'! "Do. You.Travel.?", "How. Are.You?"
One of the guys smelt like wet tweed and pooh and I got a fit of the giggles towards the end and had to tell him that it was nerves! What made me laugh was the thought of writing, 'Smells like pooh' on the scorecard and showing it to my friend!
My last date of the evening introduced himself by telling me that he thought that all he was going to meet were a load of Bridget Jones saddo's trying to get a ring on his finger, but that he had been pleasantly surprised.This made me think the following:
If you thought that was what you were going to meet, what did you come out for? Oh that's right-The need for a shag is way bigger than your fear of these 'saddo's'!
This guy was wearing a polyester shirt imitating as silk, which was unbuttoned almost to his belly button and it was begging for someone to hang a noose, I mean a medallion around his neck. What has made him so cocky?
We actually had a laugh and a giggle during the date and at the end I looked at him deadly serious and said, 'Will you marry me?'. He actually looked shocked and after a few seconds he said, 'Are you f*cking serious?'. The state of him! My answer, 'Are you out of your mind?' He looked relieved!
Managed to behave myself and not say anything remotely dirty, until after the speed dating had ended. And then I let myself down! Mike, who I definitely would like to be friends with was telling me that he had a few dates during the evening that were painful and he couldn't wait for the 3 minutes to be over. Before I thought about it, I wisecracked, 'Yeah, I had a few of those too. It's like bad sex, you just can't wait for it to be over. You're clock watching and thinking, hurry the hell up!'. He looked shocked for a few seconds and then his face broke out in this big smile. I think he thinks I'm nuts.
I am off work until the 29th. I intend to chill out and do all the things I say I want to do but don't. I also plan to do lots of things with this blog. I wonder if I'll do any of these things!

Glad you had a good time speed dating! Have some good time off work :)
I almost tried speed dating, but i chickened out when it had to be rescheduled due to the fact that they couldn't fill all the man slots. It got me thinking....they are even more desperate for men than i am. It will be full of losers! so i backed out. my big sis tried it and liked it though, so maybe i will try some other time.
Re: guy w/Speak and Spell voice: LOL!! too funny! I would have been so tempted to talk. like. that. back. to. him. to. see. if. he. picked. up. on. it. hahahahahaha!
you should have written "smells like poo" on the card. that would have been classic. i too would have gotten the giggles thinking that!
good call on the guy afraid of saddos--why the f--k did he go, then? and what's with the shirt open down the front? who does he think he is, austin powers? ewwww....that's a little too mick jagger-ish for my taste. cocky is a big turn-off.
thanks for the insider scoop!
