Ready, set, date!

Modern day dating has definitely brought new and interesting ways to mix and mingle. It’s not your mother and father’s dating scene! Gone are the days where the gentleman caller comes to a woman’s home to meet the family and sits in the parlor for a first date.

These days we live in the “microwave” society where everything is instant, including dating! Speed dating events are all the rage now. This means you have about 60 seconds to impress someone, and 9 minutes to convince someone you are date worthy! Have you ever tried a speed dating event?

While I haven’t done speed dating, yet, I have tried a lock and key party. If you haven’t had the pleasure of one of these events, it is really a singles mixer. The women are given locks and the men are given keys. The goal is to have men put their *ahem* key in the female’s lock to see if it unlocks. If it does, you both win a prize. No, not the pleasure of each other’s company, a CASH PRIZE! So imagine a bunch of single people running around trying to get a $50 dollar gift certificate to Red Lobster or $100 cash. It felt like there was a bounty on my head! At one point, the guys just came up and put their key in my lock without even bothering with the small talk!

Well, I won’t be going to another lock and key event, but I am going to try speed dating. There is one scheduled for June 15 at the Leopard Lounge. The event is being sponsored by DateSwitch.com and they promise that you can come back again for free if you don’t meet someone nice. Not a bad deal, right?

Can I really impress a guy in ten minutes or less? Who knows, but I am willing to give it a try.
