Well, that could have gone better.
I did the speed dating thing. I should have stayed longer after it was all over; Do the mingle thing. But I hadn’t eaten dinner, and they were starting to play annoying music. And I have to pack for my trip tomorrow.
It might not have been the best idea to go for a run after work. It made me late and withheld my meal.
There were some nice people, but a lot of the women were older than me and/or with children. Actually the girl that I had the most connection with was supposed to be in the younger group, making her eight years behind me. She was sloshed and was determined not to accept anyone. I guess a total lack of pressure makes making a good impression easier.
Next week there is another one where I think the age ranges work more in my favor.
