I didn't know speed dating still existed. You learn new things every day.

I'd probably ask things like.....

How did I get here? Was I drugged? (just kidding)

I would probably focus on whatever I thought was most important, which varies from person to person. I think it would be wise to make a list of questions to ask and take them with you, that is if you're like me and not good with "on the spot" questions.

My speed dating elevator speech:

Hi, my name is Jon. I'm screwed up like a soup sandwich. I have deep-seated mommy issues, a major confidence problem, crushing feelings of inadequacy about most every aspect of my life. I'm a social leper. I'm pretty sure I am asexual or at the very least extremely averse to physical expressions of affection. I'm far too intelligent for my own good, yet I have no drive whatsoever and I am satisfied with working well below my potential so long as people leave me alone and don't ask more of me than I am willing to give. So, would you like to split an order of cheese sticks?

Some bright young gal may reply, "You share your food? You're a keeper." :eek:

If she doesn't force me to meet her folks, keeps batteries on her shopping list, and chews with her mouth closed and doesn't double dip, then I might share an order of cheese sticks.

This sounds exactly like me to a tee.
(except for the cheese sticks part... for me it would be a hot fudge sundae or something like that)

What would you say on a speed date? Would you mention things you think people would like to hear? Would you mention your flaws first off to weed out the people who wouldn't like you up front? Would you go for shock value to see how people react?

The clock is ticking. Go!
I probably would be too busy laughing....Someone is bound to say something funny somewhere...and I would hear it even if they weren't talking to me.

Everyone should chew with their mouth closed, unless they physically can't for some reason.

Sonflower, how long have you been single? I was married for 16 years and you're right, it's so terrifying getting back into single life especially since all the rules have changed over the last two decades! If you have kids, that complicates things even further, and fears and freak-outs increase. This, I know about! Ha.

Married 17. Single 1. So I'm a pro at being married and a total novice at being single. I am the healthiest I've ever been spiritually, emotionally, physically...I feel great. Then, there's dating. I'm just dipping my toe in and am like...what. No thanks.

Almost everyone I know talks while they're eating. The problem isn't so much keeping your mouth closed while eating. It's when people shovel heaps of food into their pie hole like Jethro Bodine while making atrocious noises and freaking people out. Just take smaller bites. Even Miss Manners approves of talking while you're eating. After all, meal time is the best time for fellowship. :)

I suppose I should mention speed dating is something I personally will never have to worry about. My town and all the towns around me are far too small to support a single speed dating event.

My kids' father (my 1st husband) did the same. It's a funny story, actually. He kept asking me to go out with him and I kept refusing because an acquaintance from school told me she heard he was a rebel and very bossy.

Here to find out, her brother was on the prowl and kept asking her to set me up with him. But he was a big time player and I wanted nothing to do with him. One night my school mate called me and told me her brother was coming over to take me out and wasn't going to take no for an answer. I was so ticked off about that but also afraid!

So there was my kids' father coming around that same evening to ask me out for the umpteenth time. (He was persistent!) He was taken by surprise when I ran to his car, jumped in and said, "Let's go!" I was honest & told him about the big galoot saying he wasn't going to take no for an answer and that I was scared of him. So we drove around a bit and talked and he took me to a drive-thru for a bar-b-q sandwich & a soda.

After dropping me off from our first date, he then went to the player's house, slashed his tires and threatened bodily harm. And not long later, my friend called me up and told me her brother was no longer interested in me. Hahaha!! And I married my kids' father not even a year later because he had defended my honor on our first date. :)

Let's see probably something along the lines of:

Among Paul Muad'Dib, Ender Wiggin, and Rand Al'Thor who do you find to be the most compelling and why?

How many nights a week do you consider too many to spend playing games?

Compare and contrasts star wars and star trek and their effect on culture.

If his answers to all those are good he's at least worth spending a little more time with (if only to play a game, watch star wars, or discuss books we both like).

I would go just for the laughs and answer every question with, "My lawyer says that I don't have to answer that." :eek:
