I went to Speed Dating Washington DC and it was one of the most interesting experiences of my life. I went with a male friend of mine who was also single. That made me feel a little more comfortable as I was a little afraid to attend an event like that all alone.
I have heard horror stories about people going on dates with men they met on the Internet so I figured speed dating would be a more relaxed and safe environment. And I was right! When we first arrived we were greeted by a lovely woman who helped us register and then ushered us over to the bar to socialize with some of the other members of the group. I immediately saw this man that I felt that just had to talk to. There was just something about him that attracted me to him immediately without saying one word!
Of course I was very nervous to talk to him at first so I thought I'd wait until Speed Dating Washington DC began. The speed date portion of the event was so much fun. I got approximately five minutes to speak to a wide variety of men, many of who were quite funny and engaging.
But when the man who I was instantly attracted to sat down across from me we had a fabulous conversation. Just as the whistle blew and it was time to talk with the next man, he said, "Let's talk later at the bar." I was thrilled. I never would have guessed that speed dating dc would be the place I met the man of my dreams. We've been dating for just over a year now and it still strikes me as unbelievable that the instant I saw him I just knew he'd be the one for me. I never believed in love at first sight, but that's what it seemed to be.
My male friend also met someone he dated for a while but it didn't work out. So he went to another Speed Dating Washington DC event and he's not giving up on finding his true love.
