I've not tried it, but imagine people a bit more introverted might struggle?

Yes, tried it a few times over the years. It was grim to be honest. Hard work and full of people I just wasn't ever going to be remotely interested in.

However, I know people who actually love it so the problem is likely me.

You have nothing to lose by trying it. At best you meet someone wonderful, at worst you have some stories you can laugh about x

Here, everyone knows what everyone wants. With speed dating, it's still what everyone wants, with a mask 🤭🤓🥷

yeah thats what I've assumed it would be like. I thought id give a cpl of dating sites a go and all the men over 40 are just not my type at all.

But you're right, might be good for a bit of entertainment x

Wouldn't it be great to actually date through here? There are occasional threads, but always seem to go nowhere 🤓🥷

I've only been once, many eons ago. I found the notion of spontaneously contrived conversation quite daunting, and synthetic.

I went for my first time last weekend.

It is nerve-racking to begin with. Need to go with an open mind and no expectations.

Feel free to PM if you have any questions 😁👍🏽

Many years ago before I transition in the old days of me being just being guy. I went on a speed day event with my mate as we was both single. It was very funny and met some right nut jobs but we had a crack and then at end we just went out for food after

No matches though but was an interesting event to meet different types

It’s on my list to try next year. I think an open mind and no expectations will be my approach.

I much prefer slow and sustained dating. I want the conversation to flow at the same rate as my wine glass empties. I want to appreciate and savour the conversation and not quaff it one unceremonious gulp! 🍷

Simple Google search for dating events in your area stating your age range.

Have added a group on Facebook about this but seems centric in a area I'd have to drive to but also curious nonetheless 🤔
