I signed up for one of those 3-minute dating things at a bar near my house.

Everyone could please cross their fingers and hope that I meet one or two normal, non-smoker, non-mothers I'd greatly apprecaite it.

I'd tell you about my experiences but I don't want to scar you for life....



I'm already scarred for life--tell me!

Well, let's see... before I gave up on dating... my last 4 dates (these were all blind dates)....

#1: She showed up 20 minutes late for dinner, ordered the most expensive thing on the menu and barely said a word from the time the waiter took the order until the table was cleared... then told me I look nothing like my picture, got up and left... leaving the bill for me to pay...

#2: We met for drinks and hit it off pretty good, at least she was laughing and smiling while we were together. We made another date for the following Saturday morning, going off shore fishing for the morning. We spoke together the next day on the phone and again really enjoyed the conversation. I chartered the boat, Saturday morning comes and she isn't answering the phone (or her cell phone)... time for the boat to cast off she still didn't show up. When I got home I had an e-mail from her saying (and this is exactly as a 35 year old woman wrote it) "u r not 4 me".... never heard from her again.

#3: A nice, simple Sunday brunch date... she called from the restaurant wanting to know why I wasn't there, I was sitting in front of the restaurant while she was at the wrong place! When she showed up 45 minutes late she decided she was too tired, turned around and left....

#4 Ballroom dance date.. This one at least showed up, and on time! We got ready, walked out on the dance floor for the first dance and within 30 seconds she starts criticizing everything I was doing. Second dance same results, this time attempting to correct everything from my posture to my timing. Third song and again I was totally wrong, when she started to take the lead and "show me how to do it" I walked off the floor, put my street shoes back on, walked out to my car and left rather quickly....

Haven't been on a dance floor or date since...

I thought you were going to let me auction you off here.

You want a wuffo girlfriend? Are you crazy?

Besides, I was really looking forward to the bidding.

Sounds like you need better friends... who set you up on all of these?

And, for that matter, did these women say "yes" just to placate your mutual friend/acquaintance? That's not a great way to start things... #s 1/3/4 just didn't sound like they were all that up for dating *anyone* and #2 just needs to grow up and get a spine and tell you if she's not interested/changed her mind.

Worst case scenario... you meet a bunch of boring/uninteresting/not right for you women and you say "well, I could have come up with a better way to spend that time."

Better case scenario is that you meet one or two that you could see spending more time with and maybe you get a fun date for coffee Go in with eyes open and no expectations, and who knows?

Best case scenario you meet some truly interesting characters and have fun stories to share with all of us on DZ.com. :D

I just finished my speed dating experience and wanted to write a bit about each of the 21 women I spent 3 minutes with. actually, i met 20 women, one of them took off half-way through the night and i didn't meet her.

Eden- The night started off great with Eden. She was tall with blonde hair and a fake tan. She was top-heavy and seemed nice. The three minutes went by quickly (which is a good sign) and I thought things went well. I went to speak with her during a break and she kind of brushed me off... guess she didn't like me checking out her chest. I don't think we matched up [:/]

Janette - Her name might be Janelle... i don't remember. she spent the whole 3 minutes talking about her sister in the air force. I circled no. :(

Nameless - i didn't write down the name, but it turns out this woman and i worked at a company together previously. that's all i really remember. I circled no. :(

Amy- When Amy walked into the bar, I was hoping she would be participating in the 3 minute dating thing. She had blue eyes and red hair, awesome. Her body language was great and the conversation flowed reallllly well until she mentioned her 3 dogs. None of them weigh more than 15 pounds. I hate ankle biters. I ended up circling Yes for her, if the dogs suck though, she's out. I think she circled yes too. :ph34r:

Christi - Christi had very bad teeth and was generally uninteresting. I circled No. :(

Ewelina - Anyone want to guess where Ewelina is from? If you said Poland, you're correct. However, I misheard and started making jokes about windmills because I thought she said Holland. She was cute and I hope she circled yes, but I think I lost too many points. [:/]

Litza - generally unengaging, i don't think either one of us made much of an effort. I circled no. :S

Debbie - Debbie semmed *really* cool and she wore glasses, which I like.Also, she was showing some cleavage and I tried real hard not to gaze too much. I think I succeeded. I circled yes and I think she did too. :ph34r:

Jenn - Jenn was adorable with dark hair and blue eyes. The only bad thing about Jenn was that she was 5ft tall. I'm 6'5"..... I circled yes anyway, hopefully she's not afraid of giants. :o

Andrea - Andrea was beautiful with strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes. I think I lost points with her when I asked if 33 year olds were in her age range (i guess she was 38), but I think she still circled yes. I also circled yes. B|


(We took a finve minute break, this is where I tried to talk to Eden and she blew me off. >:( oh well. This began a series of "No" circling for me. It was like a troll parade)

Beth - Beth was a widow with three kids. She had her arms crossed the whole time. I don't think she likes tall white guys. I circled no as I'm sure she did too... >:(

Lisa - Divorced, complained about ex's harley and how he got it in the divorce. bleh. circled no. [:/]

Dancy - Yes. Dancy is an odd name, she was asian. I didn't ask about her name. I normally dig asian women, but something just wasn't right. i got a creepy vibe and circled no. :(

empty seat. i had a three minute break :)

Gwen - gwen talked about her pet bird she had when she was 9. i didn't like the story and gwen bored me. sorry gwen, i circled no. :S

nameless - this woman was completely unremarkable. like manilla paper. [:/]

Colleen - Colleen asked me about god. i'm not religious. i'm sure colleen circled no when i told her that i don't have invisible friends. :P

Caryn - seemed very cool. she was 5'9" and adorable. i hope she circled yes too. :D

Carla - lawyer. her interests included "networking". she was hot, but so bleeeeeh i circled no. :(:(

Michelle - My final tall girl for the night. I actually had her stand up so we could see how tall she was in her heels. Her butt spankability rating was around 9.6, i obviously cirlced yes. :)
My last date - i didn't write down her name, she was downright CRABBY. She went on and on about her ankle-biting poop-eating ankle-biter poodle. she complained about how she was tired of talking. circled noooooooo :(:(


i get my results tomorrow. i will find how many matches i had. i'll get the email address of each double match and can email them if i choose. they can also email me.

i'll also get the number of "missed opportunities". these are women who circled yes for me, but i cirlced no. i won't get any contact information from them.

adding these two numbers together will tell me just many many women said yes to the "briguy" experience. if the number isn't embarrassing, i'll post results.
