Speed Dating

Slightly concerned that I had been on almost no dates this year, when my alter ego friend called to see if I wanted to go speed dating with her, my response was an enthusiastic yes. Speed dating?! That would provide me with a quick way to get my dates/year ratio up while investing little time. Sometimes five minutes is all you need to know if a person is right or wrong for you.

FYI, my alter ego friend shares my name, occupation, interests, single status on my tax return, and practically my address. On paper we are quite similar.

So we arrive at the bar early for this dating adventure. We go to order a drink and eventually find ourselves talking to a handful of nice guys. In fact, we even exchange contact info with some of them. Then we get called to go upstairs for this speed dating adventure where we are - get this - the only two girls! Hilarious. And ironically the people we are speed dating are the same ones we were talking to at the bar.

And yes, sometimes five minutes is all you need.
