Speed dating?


Abilene is starting a new thing. A counseling center here is sponsoring speed dating. I think it sounds a little intimidating and crazy. I considered signing up just to see what kinds of people go to those things, but then I thought wait I would be the kind of person who signs up for those things.

I have tried online dating and am not having much success. I tend to find fault with just about everyone or pick the wrong ones. Sometimes I think it is a case of self fulfilling prophecy. I don't think I will find love this way, so I do whatever to make sure I don't.

I have been corresponding with a person from a place about 4 hours away. He seems nice, but the reality is we will probably never meet. So he is safe. I met a man on eharmony who recently said he lives in a bachelor pad and will not relocate. Now I wouldn't mind relocating for the right person, but a one bedroom house isn't fit for a family. I am nor sure how that one will turn out. Another guy seems to like me but doesn't ever want to go out. Another doesn't have a car. And the list goes on.

I am giving up the online personals. Will keep my space. And hey who knows I might try speed dating. 10 dates in one evening....hmm sounds intriguing.
