Haste makes waste
Speed dating is a silly concept where you gather single people and get each of them to speak to all of the members of the opposite sex for five minutes each. You write down whom you would like to meet again and give the paper to the speed dating people. If you both "match", the speed dating people give you each other's contact info.I participated in one of these fiascos on Saturday. There were about forty men and forty women in the room. We sat at long tables, moving from person to person, conveyor belt-style, every five minutes.
In a five minute conversation, you can't really tell anything about anyone. Try to explain your occupation and hobbies in two minutes. Then listen to the other person do the same thing. You now have 60 seconds to find common interests. Les cinq minutes sont terminés. Veuillez changer de place.
The silliest part is, after meeting almost 40 people in two hours, there's no way I could remember names to faces. So a day later, when the speed dating people called and said I had two "matches", I got contact information for two women of whom all I know is their first name. What did we talk about on Saturday? No idea.
Trying to date: a complete waste of time. What do you think, Brad Wilkerson bobblehead?
*Brad Wilkerson bobblehead nods in agreement*
