Generally, I date men really close to my age...just give or take a year or two. I tend to complain that the guys I date are not experienced in relationships, and then I think maybe an older guy would be better. I've never dated any older men, and wouldn't really know what to expect.
So last night, I went speed dating again, and this group was for 29 - 40 year olds. This session was a little different from the other one I went to because they gave you conversation topics. (Whether you used them were up to you.)
I went with Kira again, too. I'm thankful we have totally different taste in guys :lol: I can't even describe the kind of guys she found attractive (non-physically) because the ones she liked most...I couldn't wait to finish stop talking to those ones.
We vowed to not tell anyone we'd gone speed dating before. The truth almost came out. There was one guy there who was at the last speed dating session we went to. I thought he would have recognised us, but if he did...he did not let on. Maybe he couldn't see properly because of his new contacts.
This crowd was different -- not only because of age, but just about everyone was a professional. There were lots of engineers. The conversations were really good for the most part. I did not mark off anyone that I wanted to date, but I had several people listed that I wouldn't mind being friends with.
Maybe I shouldn't be using age as a scapegoat; it was probably just everything else. I could attribute to not clicking some of them, but some just even looked too old to me.
And one guy thought I was 23 or 24 :? Now I will just attribute *that* mistake to him having an untrained white man's eye. Maybe one day I will appreciate being mistaken for being younger than I am.
I'll find out about my matches this afternoon. I didn't really want to go to this session, and wasn't really feeling it. I think I should concentrate on the other potentials in my life right now.
Oh yeah...It's Valentine's Day today :lol: I almost forgot. Some single people I know are kind of bummed about it. It's just another commercialised day.

Speed dating is interesting. It's not something that makes me say to my friends, "hey, let's go speed dating next week!" But it is a good way to meet people.
I guess looking young might allow me to get away with some things MWUAHAHAHAA
