Hey Blushing Ladies
This was a very eventful weekend. So friday I went to my very first speed dating event. And boy was it eventful.
There were guys from all walks of life there. None that I see myself wanting to settle down with, but maybe one or two that I can see hanging out with.
For those that have never been to a speed dating event, I'll tell you how this one worked. You were given a sheet of paper. You wrote your name and email addy at the bottom. There were numbers at the top and a column for you to write a "Y" or an "N." You were suppose to write the name of the person that you were talking to and a Y if you would like to get to know them a little more and a N if you didn't.
They sat the women in a room. We all sat on a little bench. The men came and sat next to us. We talked for seven minutes. After seven minutes, the men got up and moved to the woman to the left. The women stayed put.
At first I thought that seven minutes would be a long time, but the time flew kind of quick. After I got there, I spoke to a few of the ladies while I was waiting for the event to begin and realized that the age range was suppose to be 35-45. I seemed to have missed that. I'm 33, so no biggie. But I wondered if anyone else had missed that as well. Umm, they did. There were people from 23-57 in there. Most of the men were sweet and nervous, which was cute.
But anyway on to the men. I won't go through all of them. But the first one that I spoke to was very nice. Very sweet. He's one one of those guys that you just really want to like, but there's just no umph. Hey, you just can't force it. He said hello to a guy who was speaking to a lady next to me, the second I saw that guy, in my head i heard "Hubba, hubba." I mean really. I really heard that. I hadn't uttered a word to him. Hadn't talked to him. Could barely see him. The guy that I was speaking to said "Yeah, he and I grew up together." So anyway. My first speed dater got a no. Again, you can't force it. Today, I'm still thinking of who I can hook him up with. He was so nice. Nadia has this guy who she always tried to hook me up with because he was such a nice guy. And I agree, he was nice. There was just no spark. Another friend of hers said the same thing when she went out with that guy. There was no spark. And it just frustrated poor Nadia so much. She kept trying to strike a wet match. But I know how she feels. When you know two nice people, you wonder why they can't just get together and make nice babies :)
Then there was one guy who had a nervous tick and children older than me..his nervous tick made me nervous...next...
Another one had cute dimples, but he never really seemed to answer all of my questions...I have no idea how old he is or what he does for a living, I know where he went to college, what city he lives in, who he was there with, he smiled a lot, cracked me up, and seemed like he was just there to have a good time. I could get with that. He got a yes. I think that he'd vibe with my friends. I can't see him being boyfriend material (too evasive), but he made me laugh and I think that he'd fit into my circle. It's funny how that little fact snuck it's way in, when I hadn't even considered it walking into the event. But I quickly knew that I probably wouldn't take him seriously and would probably just hang out and have fun with him.
Another guy was young. I thought he was a bit feminine. I'll leave it at that. next...
There was a close talker. next....wait...a little more about him. He was short. And i'm short. So if i'm calling him short. He was SHORT. But he was cute. And he was funny. He would've fit in with my friends too. I should've checked yes for him. But he was there with dimples, so i'm sure that I'll get to see him again. Maybe he was talking close because he couldn't hear me. Dang. Hindsight. Oh well. As I said, I'm sure that I'll see him again. I'm not really interested in dating him, but I think that i'd have a good time with him. And I wonder if he has any tall uncles.
So my last speed date was with hubba hubba. When he sat down, in my head, I heard it again. Hubba hubba. Yeah, so ummmmmm. He has a son and a set of twin girls. Ummm yeah. They are in their 20's. WHAT!!! His son has a new baby. WHAT!!!! Hubba hubba is a grandfather! I'm not sure exactly how old he is ( I think that subconsciously, I was afraid to ask), but he's not 50 yet. WHAT!!!! I know that i said to him at least 3 times that he didn't look old enough to have kids out of college and that he definitely didn't look like a grandfather. He looks like he's maybe in his late 30's. The man has definitely taken care of himself. He is sexy as hell. He was extremely funny. We worked in the same industry, so we had a lot to talk about. He got a yes (like you're surprised). Will there be any long term connection? I doubt it. I don't have any kids, and i'm pretty sure that he's done. But there was a strong attraction, so hey, why not keep myself busy while i'm looking. Have you ever been super attracted to someone and hugged them and they say "ummm" and the hairs on the back of your neck stood up? whew..lol.it was a good hug.
So at the end of speed date. You turn your paper in. If you put a yes for someone and they also put a yes for you, you'll get an email with that persons email address and vice versa.
I only checked yes for dimples and Hubba hubba. So I got my email last night. They both checked yes for me too. So now what? I guess I should wait for them to contact me. I hate this stuff!
So Blushing Ladies what would you do? Would you wait for them to contact you?
Thank You's
I would like to thank the brothers of the Beta Phi Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity for a funky good time at their Mardi Gras celebration on Saturday night. The Anything Goes band always knows how to rock a party and DJ Kraze kept it going into the wee hours. The Ques kept it grown folks!
