I have been to the Cupid's.com speed dating,they call it a pre-dating.
I went twice,didn't hook up with anyone. Theirs is if it is mutual,if you chose him and he also chose you on the piece of paper then both can meet. I didn't choose anyone,so if the other person chose you,it didn't count.
I've done speed dating before too with no luck. But if you're serious about meeting someone, you've got to take every opportunity to put yourself out there and meet as many people as possible. It can be like a full time job sometimes but worth it when you meet that special someone.
Where is "Out there"? Sort of ambiguous...when one does their life, their job, their friends, hobbies, if you have anytime for them...
Usually work is half the day.
I always find it hard to meet men in daily life. Most are married, and the single ones don't make themselves known. I once struck up a conversation with a guy and he turned out to be married, so I never did that again.
Just seemed like another gimmick for someone to make money off people. There is always someone out there taking advantage of those who are needy. Don't play into it. This is no different than a dating service, which charges you big bucks and rarely delivers.
They are all gimmicks, to take the money of people desperate to have something more. Then the women who go to these things become promotional ads, barking about how cool they are, but I haven't heard many talk about much success with them.
Ok, please don't yell at me cuz I haven't been on the dating scene since the late 80's, but people "pay" for dating services??? Why would you have to pay money to find dates whether it be this speed dating or those match.com or whatever. Whatever happened to meeting people at the grocery store, beach, church, from other friends, etc.....

Well...just try going up to a stranger in a store, and see what you get. People don't like being approached in public. I am a pretty friendly person, and I've gotten the cold shoulder even from other women, when I've tried to strike up a conversation. I guess people are afraid of someone trying to rip them off, etc.
I have never had a man just walk up to me in public and ask me out, and I think it would be odd...how could he even know, beyond just physical appearances, if he would want to go out with me?
So how would a man ask a woman out, if he knows nothing about her?
And "church" would be the last place, as 99.9% of the women there are marrieds. He could get into a lot of problems going up to women there and asking if they are married, etc....
