A friend of mine is trying her hardest to set me up with someone. In doing this she has signed me up for speed dating. And in a moment of madness I've agreed to it.

Anyone been? Or know what I should expect. Should I be scared?

Never done it. Everything new is a bit scary that doesn't mean it won't be a lot of fun.

Be sure to take the ribbons out or you'll get paired with some rough arsed builder type

Just remember, everyone is probably feeling the same -- a genuine compliment and a giggle will always be a winner

My concern is my nerves. I'll probably end up saying ridiculous things. I'm really more of a second impression kind of guy.

Me: did you know there are around 5000 species of potato?

That depends on how badly the first one or two go. I think that could set the tone.

It's part of the reason I've been encouraged to go. I don't find many opportunities to meet new people.

Nothing to lose seems to be the way to think about it. It should be fun.

everyone is generally in the same boat. Everyone will be shy. It's the repetitive nature of conversation which bugs me though:

"so what made you come today"

"what are you looking for"

"what's your ideal guy"

"i'm nervous, I don't know how to start"

etc etc...

start with something random ...."so i'm going to be straight and just ask you straight up. do you like.....to eat chocolate?...yes i'm a chocolate scientist"
