Evening everyone.
I tried Speed dating, it was depressing. I'm picky - or selective - when it comes to women I want to chat to. Meeting 18 women in one 3 hour period where it was just.. tumbleweed.
No chemistry, no spark, no attraction, no friendly chat. Again and again. I look for quirkiness, a connection, a nice smile, a wry comment. Interesting is very important to me. Not well-traveled, or successful in mountain climbing, or model looks. Interesting and funny.
And I didn't find that at speed dating. So it was just a string of tired, repetitive 'hello-my-name-is-x-what-do-you-do-for-a-living', time after time, for 3 minutes. But then some of them fancied me, and giggled the whole time. Seriously, the whole time. And one of them was a model of some sort and was just dismissive and dull.
So, no. So much depression compacted into multiple 3 minute slots. Not much fun. Real life, my social group is younger than me because of my living circumstances and I'm one of those weird blokes who doesn't particularly want to date trophy girlfriends with something to say, but someone with life experience and informed views.
Dontcallmehon - it looks like the honeymoon period is over. But to be fair, you say Geeky has to fit into your chaotic life, isn't it more realistic that you have to change your life a bit to fit into his less chaotic life? I mean, it should be 50/50? If he's intransigent, that's bad. But if he's trying to adapt and not adapting quickly enough for you, then could you be patient? It seems like a fairytale in lots of other ways (although I think Paris is smelly and too full of yappy dogs, myself 
)
