Since Barb and I are committed to our research in the dating field, we knew we had to explore the phenomenon known as the speed dating. So the setup is that the ladies all get a spot at either a table or the bar, and the guys move around from spot to spot for five minutes until the whistle blows. I was nervous because this was uncharted territory, but then I realized everyone is in the same boat and I could relax a bit.
Every dater has a number, and you are to take notes on the date next to the corresponding number on the handout given upon signing in. Most of the guys there were a little old for my taste, but it was good practice in dating conversation. It worked out that Barb and I were next to each other, so she got the dates I had just finished. One guy told me I could join his "urban tribe". So I guess if this whole dating thing doesn't pan out, I can at least have a tribe to fall back on. So when the whole thing is done, you have to go to the website and vote yes or no on the people you meet. I ended up voting yes on two of the 13 guys.
We agreed that this was worth doing again, but next we will try Palo Alto. Taking it easy this weekend and trying to figure out what this universe is trying to tell me. Seeing your past is often the key to living your present.
