Speed dating.

No I have never been to one, but good for you for trying it.

I always say to people that working, even part time, in a petrol fuel service station, would ensure continual short conversations with many men.
Just saying in case anyone is interested!

Yeah, good idea soontobe. I'm just going to resort to tripping them up!

I was wondering about speed dating but most events seem to be aimed at the 30 and under groups. I have dabbled in internet dating but although I have been honest and said in my profile I had caring responsibility for my grandchildren I only seem to have replies from men looking for someone with no responsibilities. It seems very difficult to meet single men. Even when I was working full time most of the men I worked with were married or otherwise spoken for!

I have a couple of friends who tried it. I think they both found it scary at first, and were surprised by which ones liked them, in particular. (they get feedback) However although one stopped, the other carried on and although she hasn't met anyone to share her life with, she has met several very good male friends to go out with for a drink occasionally. Also several more very good female friends, which she hadn't expected.

Maybe people hope for instant attraction? It does happen in friendships, doesn't it. I had some lovely acquaintances in this village, but it's only since a 'newbee' moved in three years ago that I found a really good friend. I knew as soon as I saw her that we would be friends.
