Last night I went speed dating. I know some people were interested so I hope you both read this. 
What a strange experience. Nerves played a big part to begin with and I very much stumbled through the first couple of dates. I didn't really know what to say and they were a little awkward.
I relaxed a little after that (and the second glass of wine) and things went a little better.
The question I was asked most was 'How old are you?' Not sure how I feel about that. 
It was good fun. Something new and a little different, I'd recommend it to anyone just for the experience. |

"Oh how interesting!! I've always wanted to try that out!!
Did you find anyone for a date??  "
There were a couple of women of interest.
You get given a card which you fill out with the ones you like. Then put it onto the website, they let you know if you have any matches. No matches as yet. |

"So do you just sit dowm and start asking questions. Is like a question and answer thing or conversation and how long do you get with each person
What where the other people like"
It was 4 minutes with each person. And you pretty much just sit down and start talking and hope that it flows easily.
The other people were nice, most seemed nervous which was actually a good thing because it made me feel a bit better. |

"How long do you get with each person?
I think it would be great. I only have about 45 seconds of conversation before I bore myself to death."
4 minutes. But it goes really quick. |

"Good for you, I'd be terrible at it.
I'd talk for the full 4 mins and forget to get the guys name   "
Having someone who wants to talk is a good thing though. |

"What was the first question you asked?"
I asked about music or books. I tried to make it different for each one so I asked about the last gig they went to, the last book they read, favourite musicians, authors etc. Nothing spectacular but things I find it easy to talk about |

I did it for the first time 2 weeks ago (a bi event). Had a mint time and 4 matches (male and females). We've spoke a few times after and arranging dates. Love old fashion dating so much more civilised than on sites like this. Thinking about starting my own bi speed dating events. |

It's certainly an experience and the face to face aspect was really good. I preferred that to my time spent on online dating. |

It's a goodway to gain confidence and have a social fun evening, always cue off with a random ice breaker and avoid personal or controversial questions
Great way to actually just mix with others |

So is there a demand from ladies over the age of 40...
Given some of the guys on here and many other dating websites over 40 I'm surprised.  |

I have realised that it could be quite devastating when I don't get any matches.
I'm trying not to think about that. |

"There are speed dating events for 38-50 yr olds in Norwich, apparently, but that's the upper age limit.
That seems a bit unfair."
It does a seem a little unfair. |
