So- I just got back home from my first experience speed dating at my favorite bar in the area... and honestly it was really fun!
Side note... I did mention to a bunch of people that I wrote the blog that was the #1 google result for List of Moose Puns (true story) and on the off chance anyone is reading this... that's cool. Everyone was actually pretty nice. Guys really like Game of Thrones... so if you're looking for a dude... watch Game of Thrones? I only saw the first season and I liked it but never watched more of it. Anyway... this is not a Game of Thrones Review... I wanted to talk about speed dating.
So the bar that did it is a really nice bar... but not the best for an event like this... and where they had it just kind of felt awkward. My ears are still ringing because it was very loud... it's also really dark- and they gave very tiny name tags for everyone that basically no one could read... so that was all kind of awkward. It was also very hot... so I was sweaty- my glasses fogged up... it wasn't the cutest.
And a friend of mine said that the guys were kind of awkward... but honestly- everyone there was pretty chill. Lots of people trying it for the first time... it was just kind of nice to talk to everyone... even if I ended up saying really uncool things about myself over and over... but still! Some guys seemed into the quirkiness.
The one thing that was hard was keeping track of everyone... I wrote everyone's name down... didn't remember who I liked by the end of the night necessarily... so I need to improve that... but everyone was pretty nice... there wasn't anyone there that I was like "Nah, not talking to them again." Even though I didn't match with anyone and probably won't talk to them again hahaha. It's not out of bad vibes or creepiness- just out of "Ohhh I'm not going to see them again."
It was also very late... it took over an hour to just have small talk with people... which seems like an introvert's nightmare... but I'm pretty introverted and I liked it a lot.
So yeah! I had a lot of fun! It's just something cool to do and it was different. My friend and I gossiped about dating app success and failure.
Byeee!
