Back in 2001 I nearly got off with one woman I met in my local launderette but fucked up the next meet up arrangments. One problem I have found with my method is that almost all the women I meet are attached. I did though go to a free singles party in Chelsea last Saturday which was almost the same as speed dating as everyone chatted to each other but had no luck as I didn't meet any women who fancied me.


I think the world and his dog knows about launderette lass by now !!


I now have visions of him walking into the one on Eastenders and trying to chat up Dot Cotton


You and Scottie make such a good couple, even think the same, ahhhh

Thanks for all your replies. To answer a few of the questions - going alone i was pretty nervous at first but got a beer at the bar and just started chatting to the guy next to me who was also on his own. Felt like a school disco at first with men grouped round the bar and girls sat down in the gorups they came in.

If your worried about getting no ticks and female from what i can gather the chances of this happening are very slim! Unless you are a complete fruit loop, one of the guys there will tick you. I think i ticked 6 or 7 girls when i did it and men always overestiamte the ticks they will get whilst women drastically underestimate.

Ticks or no ticks though i still really enjoyed the night out, and if anything comes from it its a bonus - thats the attitude to have i guess.

Just thought I'd bump this back to the top and see what people think of the whole speed dating thing.

Has anyone given it a go ? If so, what do you think ?

Would anyone here never consider it, and if so, why ?

I have a passing interest in the idea, and I talked about giving it a go with a lady friend of mine once, but we never did.

HHmm have considered speed dating myself, I dunno, I always get the impression it's aimed at "executives" shoulder pads, pin stripes, laptop bags, that kinda thing.

I'm probably wrong!

I'm sure they don't, twisted. Perhaps I'm too cynical! just an overall impression I have of the whole speed dating thing, also I didn't mention there are actually only a very few events arranged for the over forty bracket, and I'm sure that's more of a business decision on behalf of the organisers.

Of course most mens suits still have shoulderpads big enough to play travel scrabble on

LOL well you never know, and it's an original way to meet!

You just reminded me, going off the subject a bit, but a couple of years ago I was on my own on a long haul flight, I was dog tired and sandwiched between two American women, I fell asleep and woke up some time later snuggled up to one of them, twisted round in the seat the whole works, god it was so embarassing, and she never said one word about it! I couldn't wait to get off that plane
