Hello everybody,
I hope that everyone is doing well. Not much is going on here. I hope that everyone is staying dry in this crazy freaked out spring weather. I have made a decision that might come as a shock to some people. But I, Jen, am going speed dating. I have signed up to do a speed dating thing at the end of this month. I was talking to Susan and Tracy over lunch and I had told them about maybe putting a personal ad on Craigslist. Well, Susan had mentioned speed dating and lo and behold I'm doing it. Plus have you read some of these personal ads on Craigslist. These guys are freaky. At least with speed dating I can see the guys face to face and judge for meyself. I have to do something. I have seen it on TV but this will be an experience. It's taking place in St. Charles and already I'm debating about what to wear. To be perfectly frank, I'm a little freaked out. I'm not the world's greatest conversationalist. I mean I can say some pretty outlandish shit. I think that if I can get through it without pissing somebody off I think I will be doing well. So I need some help. There is about 12-15 guys and supposedly the "dates" last for about 5-7 minutes. I can't ask every single guy what high school they went to. So far that is the only question I can think of. All the other questions I can think of either deal with religion, politics, or sex and if memory serves those are big no no's when first meeting someone. The only other question I can come up with is do they have a criminal record and I don't think that question would go over very well. Especially since this speed dating thing is geared toward, as the web sight quotes, "single professionals". All I can say is I hope this place where they are having it is serving liquor. So if you guys have questions that I can ask I would really appreciate it. Take care and I will see you all at Matt and Jen's.

I'm so proud of you!! That's really great that you are putting yourself out there. You are certainly more courageous than I! If I was in your situation, I would pretend that I'm on a job interview. Ask about what he does for a living, in his free time, etc. I'm sure that you won't have to carry the conversation the entire time.
Good I'm glad you looked into that more. You can ask what they want in a relationship ie: looking for just fun or to be married or whatever. I think Jen's right you wont have to carry the conversation the whole time.
hey girl, I think jen said it best. We're so glad your putting yourself out there. The key questions (since its speed dating their expecting you to be frank & to the point) should be, are you married, divorced, kids, pets? Also be sure to ask what they do in their free time. If nothing else, this might give you an idea of something you'd like to do in your free time. Go relaxed and to have a good time, if something happens then it happens, but don't expect much. This is just an excuse to get back in the game. Good luck sister, but most of all, have fun! I love ya!
Ask about hobbies, pets? That sounds exciting! Keep us updated!
