Are guests at speed-dating events good-looking? Christine,
My friend and I are seriously considering giving your Six Minute Dates service a try. My friend has tried some chat lines and finds the people he meet have lots in common but are physically unappealing. This is not meant to sound shallow and I hope it doesn't but my friend is a lean man and is not looking for an oversized lady which is all he seems to meet on the chat lines. I feel the same way. I know I am not perfect but I am looking to meet someone with an average build like me. I hope you don't think we are trying to be unkind but I guess my question is more what type of people can we expect to meet? We are both new back to the dating scene and are very unsure of ourselves. Can you help us? Dar and friend

Dear Dar and Friend,
The big question everyone wants to ask, "Are the people who come to your events good-looking?" The simplest answer is yes. Because of the nature of speed-dating, it attracts people who are self-confident and comfortable with meeting others face-to-face. No, it is not going to be like stepping into a Model's convention - we are talking about the lovely ladies you see everyday and wonder how you could meet. Self-confidence is generally tied to an active lifestyle so you will find you have a lot in common with the other guests. Every event is different so you may come to one event and be attracted to a lot of the ladies, and then come to a different event where you may only be romantically attracted to one. Speed-dating is a lot of fun and a great opportunity to meet likeminded people.
