Episode 4 – Speed Dating and Mr TV 


Speed Dating is an interesting idea and I went in with no
expectations. For those who don’t know the concept, you date a number of men,
in my case fifteen, for five minutes each. You then have to determine which men
you would like to date, be friends with or never see again. They are then
correlated and matched. If you pick date for someone and they pick friendship,
it defaults to friendship. If you say no then the details aren’t given out. 

I received one date match which I thought was pretty good
considering I had only marked down a handful of dates myself. The others were
all friendship matches or no match for the three I said no to. My date match
contacted me. I remembered he worked in television, thus the original name, so
I thought he could be interesting and successful. 

We met for a drink, which turned into dinner, which turned into
more drinks followed by hot kisses at my door. It was a great date. One of the
best ones I’ve had for as long as I can remember. He was witty, charming and
mature with an interesting career. Things looked promising.
 
Leading up to our second date I still wasn’t sure. Yes, we had a
great first date but we are always on our best behaviour. We are flirty,
charming, sophisticated and witty. So I don’t hold too much on the first date.
Aside from all this he’s an Aries... and they aren’t always a good idea for a
Taurean. Regardless, I thought there could be more to it, I wanted to find out
whether I wanted to pursue things, whether I should go with chemistry and see
whether we had something of substance once the gloss of a new prospect wore off.
He also carried a lot of baggage... but I have my fair share so I wasn’t going
to let that influence me.
 
The second date he impressed me. Dinner, wine, interesting
company, great conversation... 
 
You see the reasons men speed date are very similar to the
reasons why men online date. See if you can work out which category Mr TV fell
into and why I won’t be seeing him again. ;)
