You'll end up like "Phoebe" with multiple dates and can't choose

What are everyone's thoughts on speed dating? I have colleagues that when to events and enjoyed them but have never tried myself. Thinking it could be the way to go when things open up again. Better to meet people in person than on the apps?

I just don't get how anyone would enjoy a sit down dinner as a first date,
It seems way to formal its the dating equivalent of a job interview

Yes of course people have had great dinner dates as first dates but if you have a bad one its car crash stuff,

If it turns out to be a bad date you can literally just have your main meal, split the bill and leave. An hour and half tops. It might be a little longer than you want to spend in that persons company but its not that bad. Once its over you leave and move on.

My personal preference would be after work drinks..

Never tried it but was tempted over the winter. Any time I went on to book they were always booked out. I’d love to though in person would be much preferable.

Yes - everyone is there with the same intention (i'd hope) and in a group (sort of) setting it is a far more relaxed. I am hoping that people will be more inclined to meet and mix in person when everything opens. After being cooped up for so long I can't wait to get out again.

OP maybe you were a bit too forward and too eager for her.

I noticed in your OP you say

I recently matched with "the one" on tinder

No offence man but that kind of thing scares women off

I got gate after a few dates and a bad hungover ride once. She said I liked her too much, personally I put it down to the bad ride. She was a lil’ hottie with crackin’ tits but I definitely didn’t like her to much!

I did it twice, it was great craic and got 2 matches but i couldnt remember a thing about either of them. Usually theirs drinks after the event so make sure you stay for that.

I was thinking the mixer after would probably be better than the speed dating in-itself.

My mate went on a date last year.. met him on Tinder I think.. they went for a walk around 4pm.. they decided to sit down for a break.. he whipped out his tobacco "oh I didn't say - i smoke - do you mind?".. she said "no work away".. next thing he whips out a can of Heineken - says "you don't mind do ya?" - she said - not at all - enjoy".. (as she sips on her bottle of water lol)..

Poor fella obviously has a bit of a problem with the sauce - but gee.. he shudda had another can to offer her at least - might have taken the bad look of it.. and the funny thing is, my mate was on a health buzz last year.. went vegan and gave up booze.. the irony of it lol..

She said he was a v nice fella, but they didn't meet again..
