COFFEE & BISCUITS

The hazardous aspect of speed-dating is that so much is not revealed about the person you thought you might want a second date with. 

I am saying this because I am such a person.  I actually wonder that if the length of each date is to extend to 8 minutes, I probably will get less yeses. 

Another thing is, the person I presented myself has at that occasion is a girl who wears foundation and mascara and high heels and does not wear gigantic glasses.  Would the normal gigantic-glasses-wearing girl with untidy hair and no makeup appeal to the same people who are listed as a “match” with me?  I would not know unless I find out by going to a second date as such a real persona, which means possibly facing a real life rejection.

Another note about speed-dating is that I am one of the lucky ones.  I believe there definitely are people who have left with unmet expectations, or with zero matches and a feeling of rejection. 

 Given these thoughts, I am feeling ambivalent about meeting with my matches.
