Just ask them about themselves. What do you do, what area do you live in, what are your hobbies. They are men - this will keep them busy, and then pay attention to the ones that bother to ask about you!

lou33 · 02/11/2006 09:31

do you get any info about them before hand?

like number one is x yrs old?

My friend has done it loads and says it can be highly amusing if you've consumed just the right amount of alcohol beforehand! The creepy ones, just stare and don't say much. The self obsessed ones talk about their lives without ever even asking you questions. The future stalker ones want to know way too much detail in the 3 minutes! She reckons if you just do 3 mins of small talk it flies by!

No don't get any info on them. I'm kind of more excited than terrified now..
Moonpie - can't be THAT bad if she keeps going back for more!! realise there maybe a couple of wierdos but at least we can laugh about them afterwards!!
The venue is really lovely though..
Now, what to wear?!

She has been a few times to various places. She blogs about it which is quite hilarious. Then, alas, she met someone who came into her work and gave her his card. Been dating for a couple of months now.

Please don't discuss MN

lou33 · 02/11/2006 11:08

ask them if they have any better looking mates, and why they split with their last gf

lou33 · 02/11/2006 11:09

i think i'd go on a speeddating night just for the fun, tho my bloke might not be keen on me doing it lol

lou33 · 02/11/2006 11:10

ask them what they think if eating grapes in a supermarket before they have paid for them

mascaraohara · 02/11/2006 11:11

It's brilliant, go with an open mind.. have a drink and have fun.. conversation flows really easily I found.

I loved it!

nannyme · 02/11/2006 13:28

lou33 - can i come with you?!! agree, my oh would not be too chuffed either but i really like the idea of going. feel i missed out on the whole speed dating thing.

loving your questions. any better looking mates? rofl!

lou33 · 02/11/2006 14:42

oh i think going to a speed dating night would be hilarious fun if you went in a group!

but then again i like chatting up blokes

nikkie · 02/11/2006 20:28

I went once with a friend , we walked in, looked at the blokes and ran out again(we went to the pictures instead )

nutcracker · 02/11/2006 20:29

God I would be petrified.

My mum is always on about me going.

RTKangaMummy · 02/11/2006 20:33

it went really well!! we were real nervous going in but a swift vodka helped that.. once you start talking the time flies. a couple of blokes v. boring but none seemed wierd and a couple were downright lovely... we got a match!! now am i brave enough to meet up with them!!
