Beckie
and I are going speed dating. Tonight we'll be working our way through
30 men - but they (and we) only get three minutes' to make a good
impression.
 |
| The
boys eye up the talent |
It's
the latest addition to life in the fast lane - and what better way
for go-getting singles with little time in their hectic schedules
to meet the guy or girl of their dreams?
The
dating "do" is organised by four single friends from Cheltenham.
They've
had enough of the same old dating scene and have taken matters into
their own hands.
As
we gather in a wine bar the sexes furtively eye each other up and
gulp down a dose or two of Dutch courage - some at top speed (the
hurry, hurry atmosphere is infectious!)
 |
| The
girls compare notes |
Thus
fuelled, the hope is that a few wines or beers inside will help
unleash a steady stream of witty chat-up lines and flirty banter
with which to dazzle would-be suitors.
The
evening is organised with military precision. A horn sounds and
another three minutes are up - so it's all change!
For
each new prospective partner you meet you fill in a form indicating
your interests and whether you'd be interested in meeting again.
 |
| Happy
ever after? Here's to love, anyway! |
A couple
tickle my fancy - but for some of these guys even three minutes
with me seems too much to handle!
But
is Becky saving the best till last?
She
seems to be getting along very well with one chap. The question
is: did he tick Becky's box?
She'll
find out if the speed dating evening's organisers send her his e-mail
address later this week...
If
you can't spare a whole evening to try speed dating for yourself,
it only takes a minute to enjoy a 'virtual speed date' with
