cuttin_in_farm 07/25/23 9:02:35 PM #1:	Seriously. It�s basically online dating but removes all the bullshit and �strategy�. The woman I met from there and I are starting off pretty well tbh. Compared to previous girlfriends that I met �organically�, I have never felt so great. I feel like folks of CE would do better at a speed dating event. The women I encountered were either too busy to date normally or introverted. Which seems like yall cup of tea. --- A show of kindness may not do much help, but a show of cruelty may do much harm. <cite>cuttin_in_farm posted [p:975065993] in Having dat...

Oh, and seeing other people doing better than me will often trigger one. So surrounding myself with a bunch of people who will likely be hitting it off would do it. Hm depending on the venue, you dont really know what others are doing. I mean, you also dont know who is doing better. The women I went on a date with afterwards all had stories of guys that were talking, but it wasnt very good talking. Mine was at a bar, ofc. So if you are able to go out to eat, and not focus on others, its kinda the same thing. Plus, you could always respectfully bow out if you started feeling uncomfortable. From what I read, most events also have starter conversations for you to use if you cant think of what to say. I personally didnt use them, but I reckon a more reticent guy sitting with a reticent gal may make use of them. I know youve mentioned your obstacles before. I think youd maybe fare better in a speed date format. They segregate by age brackets too.

From what I read, most events also have starter conversations for you to use if you cant think of what to say. I personally didnt use them, but I reckon a more reticent guy sitting with a reticent gal may make use of them. --- A show of kindness may not do much help, but a show of cruelty may do much harm. <cite>cuttin_in_farm posted [p:975073645] in Having dat...

Its literally impossible to get rejected since youre not asking anyone to go on a date. Youre just talking to people. Who you can choose to never see again. You dont have to risk asking anyone out. Asking for a number. None of that. You get matches the day after. All the women I matched with and reached out to responded and were willing to talk after. Unlike dating apps, matching in a speed date has a higher chance of actual talking. Youve probably spent the same amount of money on a meal from a restaurant as it takes to sign up for speed dating. My event was $20. --- A show of kindness may not do much help, but a show of cruelty may do much harm. <cite>cuttin_in_farm posted [p:975073914] in Having dat...

NoxObscuras 07/26/23 11:58:23 AM #50:	That sounds pretty interesting. I'd heard of speed dating, but never knew how it worked exactly. I'm already in a happy relationship, but that sounds like it would be useful for others here. cuttin_in_farm posted... Thanks! I want to, but she wants to not rush things! She has expressed wanting only me and not seeing anyone else, but since were still early and learning about eachother, she doesnt want to move too fast. Though weve talked about kids and stuff already. Doesnt stop sex, but I dont make the rules. Also congrats! It definitely sounds like you're on track to making things official.
