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!

Let's try the speed dating on this site. Of course, I'm excluded. After all, this is not a dating site. At least that's what I've been told.

I'll probably sing and if he sings with me, he's obviously my true love. If he doesn't, I'm in the wrong movie.

For reals though, I'll go with 'mention all the flaws'. If we click, we'd probably be out-flawing (if there's such a word) each other and have fun with it.

Everyone has flaws so I wouldn't waste time on that. I think you can find out more from a person if it's a down-to-earth and fun conversation. Depending on how much time we'd have, I'd try to ask these questions:

1. What’s the most adventurous thing you’ve ever done?

2. If you had three wishes, what would they be?

3. What are you most passionate about?

4. What do you consider your 3 best characteristics?

5. When are you the happiest?

6. Who are a few of your favorite musicians?

7. Where have you traveled?

8. What’s the first thing you notice about a person?

9. What's your best talent?

10. What are the most important qualities you’re looking for in a relationship?

Yeah, but you & JesusLives have a beautiful success story of how to get to know someone online. You two could offer the best advice. :eek:

Is a speed date where you go through the mcdonalds drive thru? eat your happy meal in the car and say goodbye after finishing eating? XD I'm just kidding guys....


I would want to ask what their interests are and what they spend the most time on in a day.....where you heart is there your treasure and time will be also :)

I wonder what kind of time frame they give you to chat with someone?! I mean, if it's like only five minutes, you'd have to really be lightning quick for questions & answers, right?

I'd ask about interests and church involvement. Then I'd just see how it progresses from there. I think it would be interesting to see how the conversation plays out differently with each unique person.

Im too practical so have no witty response. I wish I wasnt. To gauge sense of humor which is so important I would ask tell me about an embarrassing moment and see how they respond.

After that, depending on answer to first I would say tell me your top 3 values you look for in a potential date. Mine would be Godly man, a servants heart, and someone who has passions (hobbies, arts, missons, whatever).

Secretly praying faith would be in their top 3.

Im boring ...hence why I would fail at speed dating.

I hate that I'm in a place in life where speed dating is actually something I could do. It used to be so simple and easy. I flirted with my husband. I dated my husband. Now it's all complicated. Dating websites. Wondering what that guy is thinking when he compliments me over and over. Is he just nice or does he actually like me? And then the fear that sets in when I realize he might actually like me...or learning from a male friend recently, that an extended smile means something?? I've been smiling all my married life to all people and never thinking anything of it. I'm friendly. Now that I don't wear a ring, I think that means I'm sending messages I didn't realize I was sending? Not to mention, I'm too curvy, too short, not enough of a fast mover, too fast of a mover, don't read my bible enough or maybe I read it too much. (These would be the opinions of men) And now...

Speed dating? Where's the ice cream. Someone get me ice cream right now.

Is it too hard to hope I can avoid things like speed dating and just "click" with a person and that's that?

Drop the mic - Sonflower out - peace.

Ok. So I maaaaayyy have overreacted when I read the words speed dating. I may or may not be feeling a wee bit overwhelmed with the idea of dating.

I would show them my sassy fireworks right off the bat so they'd know what they are getting into. It's only fair.

I'd never participate in a speed date, I realize it doesn't have to be, but it feels like a quick and easy way to get more one- night stands. (Dunno about over there, but there are LOTS of them in Norway).

If I did somehow stumble into a speed date, I'd probably be honest about my flaws. I'd rather have the person become pleasantly surprised than the other way around :p

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.

Female: Are you a godly man?

Male: Yes.

Female: Do you have a heart for Christ?

Male: Yes.

Female: Do you attend church?

Male: Yes.

Seriously, anyone can say answer yes to those questions. Doesn't mean they're walking godly. That's why I'd ask the other down-to-earth questions and get them to relax and be for real. The answers from their heart will tell you where they're at with the Lord. :rolleyes:

In 60 seconds? "What are you reading?" "Who was your childhood hero?"
