Speed Dating...

I feel like it's been a while since I have posted something, but in reality it's only been a week. It could be possibly because I feel so much has gone on this last week, I almost don't know where to begin.

First, the 28th would have been my anniversary, but needless to say the day went by and I didn't feel all that sad. There were moments, of course, but overall it was a very uneventful day. In other words it was perfect.

Secondly, last night I went to a speed dating event. My girlfriend asked me a couple months ago to go with her, and well, at that time March 4th seemed so far away. But as it always does, time catches up and there it was, the day of our speed dating event.

I have to say the experience was something I had never, ever, encountered before. It was all surreal. The ladies sit on one side of the table and the guys have to go table to table. You have anywhere from 3-6 minutes with a "date" which means you have 3-6 minutes to learn all you can about someone.

At the end of the event, you choose your top guys and if you choose a guy who has also chosen you for his top pick, well then you have a match and you are given contact information. It just so happens I had 4 matches. And apparently, according to the dating service, I was popular amongst the guys, and they have asked me to join their Preferred Dater Club. Which either they send that to everyone, or I have just been asked to join the popular crowd...in any case the first thing that came through my mind when I saw my matches was as follows:

Hmmm, ok #1, was he the one who told me I looked like a body builder, or was he the one who roller blades for fun because his spiritual leader told him he needed to get more in touch with his body. Was #2  the guy who asked me if I ever tried guinea pig, because he loves to eat while in Peru as well as rabbit.  #3 he's got to be the one with a pet bunny, who's owned a total of 8 bunnies over the years. #4 could be the guy who started the date as if it were a business transaction or possibly the one who talked way too close for comfort. And any of them could have been the one who asked me what my favorite swear word was.

Yup....all of that happened. And even more. I do wish I could have videoed the whole experience as it was quite amusing and draw dropping. Would I do it again...probably not. But it was definitely worth it to do once in my life. I can also say I have completed another goal for 2013. Dating more. In fact, I had a total of 12 dates. So mission completed.
