Im just curious, has anyone tried this? or is actively still involved?

its just something that appeals to me, as i don't have weeks at a time, to romanticize and play the "game" as such as most people do. Speed dating seems easier, you go for this meet, an hour or 2 later, you either end up with a number or not. you go out on a date, second if all goes well.... its fast and efficient.

And please im not trying to be douche here or anything, im a hopeless romantic i would love to do the whole courting thing, which leads to the first date and all of that, but my time is limited. (usually 2 weeks at a time).

Im thinking this is a good way of meeting new people(even if things dont go how you want).

So i did a quick web search, came across a company that arranges this sort of thing in provinces around SA, however it seem they are concentrating on JHB and CPT.. which sucks need to find something in Durban..

Most people are a waste of time, for men and women. Stay single unless ignorant and pathetic human beings is your thing :p

When did you become so pessimistic about having a partner?
Although I agree with you.

Could not disagree more. People are awesome, perhaps you are the shallow and ignorant one.

I've also always wanted to try it. Sounds exciting. I suppose it would also be a good way to see if you actually have a personality/ social skills.

I wouldn't describe people the way he did, but I don't like them either :D Prefer to be on my own, doing my own thing, rather than wasting my time entertaining people...

I dont even think its so much of the actual going out on a date, more maybe the socializing part, and building up self confidence, esp coming out of a long term relationship

its somewhat sad tbh. But i guess everyone's been through their own *** at some point or the other
Don't get me wrong, I love having a girlfriend and my group of friends, but I don't feel the need to please people. I'm not a people's person and don't think it's abnormal to not like people in general. I'm happy with who I have in my life...

Speed dating?

Dating on a bus rigged with a bomb? Well, it worked for them... at the end of the first movie at least.
