I have the same problem

In terms of positivity regarding speed dating - my cousin recently married a girl he met speed-dating (after 2-3 years, not straight from the venue!).

There's lots of tables set out and the girls normally stay seated. The guys work their way around the tables and are normally allowed 3 minutes to 'sell themselves'.

There are different variations but that's about it. At the end of it the girls can point out which guys they liked generally by putting their contact details in a pigeon hole type thing which will have been set up for the boys.

Im surprised you have no idea......you must of done well to avoid the hundreds of american films with a speed dating scene in it.

I like the go-karting idea.....maybe there is a full track of girls and you have to catch up with the one you like and talk to her mid-race

I've been speed dating - it was really funny, didnt meet anyone i fancied though.

Also it wasn't a case of the boys selling themselves, they just sat down and we had a natter getting to know each other until the bell rang. I went with two friends and we went for a meal and giggled a lot afterwards. There was only one guy that i couldnt wait for the bell to ring but he kept touching my knee when he talked which is a bit forward if you ask me.

I'm horrendously shy too, and everyone was lovely, even if you knew the person wasnt going to be attracted to you or the other way around they still made the effort to get to know you.

It didn't just appear on him. It isn't a miraculous conception we're talking about here...

Thank funk for that, because all I can translate "casual sex" as in this case from what you've told us is "You get pregnant and you won't see me for dust girl. Any other issues and I'll be running for the hills on them too".

Nothing is bad with it and it can work for some people. Not his guy though, he just wants all of the fun times and none of the bad.

:P

The last bit slightly harsh though. Give the girl a break, we've all been there.

Yeah it doesnt seem to me to be an idea worth pursuing in order to get a gf but it seems like a laugh though.

As for this touching the knee business - quite frankly you'd be lucky if you got me to talk to you cos im so unconfident with women, never mind touch your body - but the guys just doing what he's supposed to as per the manual for flirting. I can well understand why its creepy though.

Seems to me theres a fine line between creepiness/desperation and ok flirting - its one of the reasons why i find it difficult cos im a bit scared of crossing that line.

Wouldn't it be nice if it was all easy? Never seems to be, just lies/game playing etc

Take the girl I like, can't figure it out for the life of me, she spoke to me, seemed super keen, spoke to her for hours, she was texting me loads , we arranged to go for a few drinks..she went to hospital had some seizures, doesnt go as planned

gets 4 weeks off from dr, says 'well go out, when I'm better, wanna be happy when I see you, plenty of time' , last week she texts me moaning about how she could cry and her ex is a 'w*nker' they split up 10months ago, she claims she was happy when he wanted nothing to do with her - but after he found out she was in hospital he's been saying they're meant to be together etc , says she wont waste anymore time on him and hates boys..but 'oh not you'

fast forward a few days, ask her out for a few drinks, no reply, spoke to her on facebook and she's all like 'cheer me up you' - i tell her i text her to which she says 'oh il look for my phone in a bit' - never replies, I text her again saturday just like 'hey, hows it going, soo thought about what I said' - no reply

Lost my phone monday, so I sent her a message on facebook on weds, just saying whats your num bla bla, no reply to that..I mean come on she can't even use the 'no cred' excuse for that!

so it's gone from super keen and texting me loads, almost inviting herself out when I go out, to now she won't even bother replying to me by text or facebook...neat , but she still posts dull status updates about how her 'ex is a psycho and she wished he'd go away' - can't ignore him but can me? weird

when i first spoke to her I said 'I don't play games, I'm not 12, dull and sad, i'd rather know whats going on' , she was all like 'yea me too' - doesn't seem that way eh? I'd rather she just messaged me and said 'yeaa im a schoolgirl i'm going back with my ex bla bla'
