Review:
I went to a fast life speed dating event, and I have to say this should be on your bucket list. Not so much as a way to meet people, though obviously thats a big part of it, but more because of what you learn about yourself - and the confidence you gain from the experience. Anyway, I'd been in a relationship for 4 years and I realized when we broke up that the people I used to go out with had pretty much all coupled up and things had moved on. I figured I'd cut to the chase and go out and meet people at an event rather than go on match or whatever and took the plunge. OMG... I have to say it's one of the most *interesting* evenings of my life. The guys were by no means uniformly attractive, and one was kind of creepy, but the majority of the 13 guys I met were nice, interested, decent looking, straight (lol!), and there was one really cute European guy. So that's the guys. What you don't realize when you're in a relationship is how you get out of the habit of meeting new people, especially new single people, and I've realized that speed dating is a crash course in dating, and after a couple of dates you quickly get back into the groove and start having fun - rather than seeing it as a chore. Its a primer for for confronting what can be a difficult chapter in life. And yes, I matched with the cute European, and we dated for a couple of months until he went back to Germany. But thanks to that night I now have the confidence to get out back there and get dating again. Recommended.
Pros:
you meet people in person so you get quick results
something fun to do on a weeknight
builds confidence!!!
Cons:
chances are there'll be a creepy guy you'll have to 'date'
Aleisha does recommend Fast Life to friends/family
