Had a second date with J120408. We went to the movies. How very "second date".

I was a bit peeved by him though because we planned to see this weekend's blockbuster and he asked me to arrive an hour early, just in case of lines. I got there, but he was running late. How very LA. I couldn't wait inside the theater to save seats because he bought the tickets online. He didn't show up until 10 minutes before show time and there were no seats left, so we exchanged the tickets for a later showing.

Blah blah blah.

Being late because of traffic is just a fact of life in LA, but if I can make it to our date on time, so can you. It was just a rocky start to the date, not alleviated by his nervous personality. I wanted to suggest he take a public speaking course, but I'm trying not to be an uber bitch this year.

The only bright side to the day was that the movie rocked.

Something's in the air. I keep reading posts in my Vox 'hood and I'm not the only one in a dating funk. When is this feeling (or lack of feeling) going to pass?

Today was a lunch date with one of the guys I met through speed dating. He was the only guy that kept in touch with me; all those other guys have disappeared, but whatever. I don't give a shit about a stranger rejecting me. Anyway, it didn't take long to realize that my date was nervous. I teased him by asking if he kept in touch with the other girls from the speed date. It turns out that he didn't match up with anyone else.

So, I was his only match. Oh shit. Pressure!

Poor guy. I just couldn't get him to relax and it's such a shame. He'd be totally do-able if he just had some confidence in himself. I also think he might be self conscious about his acne and I completely empathize because I had horrible, debilitating acne all the way through college.

I learned something on today's date. I realized that to be successful at dating you have to believe that you do have something to bring to the table, that we all have something valuable and interesting to share. It also dawned on me that there are guys out there who don't have the ability, yet, to charm the whole room. Not all guys are the alpha male. And there will be certain situations where I am the alpha. I am the catch.

It takes practice to go out and meet people. And that would be my advice to all the shy, nervous, inexperienced guys out there. Get out there, tigers! Rawr!

I got my results back from Speed Dating. 5 out of 15 guys were interested in following up with me. That's 1/3 success rate.

Woooooooooooo!

Unfortunately, I can't remember who any of these guys are. I have their emails and they have mine. We'll see who contacts who first.

Probably me. I have a blog to keep up.

In other dating news, I have two CBD's this week.

It was a busy day. I had a great Sfactor workout and finally made it up the pole without struggling. I was still winded though. Damn. Then it was rush rush rush home, change my clothes, do my hair and makeup, perfume myself and out the door to speed dating.

I showed up at the venue on time, but the hostess was running late. Thankfully I was saved from standing by myself at the bar by another speed dater who was solo. She and I chatted and watched as the guys came into the club. Of course we judged everyone. There was only one hot guy and he went straight for the Cougar.

Later on I found out that he's an only child, so that answers a lot in my mind.

You probably know the gist of speed dating. You spend 5 minutes talking (aka interviewing) a guy and then in musical chairs style, they switch. After each conversation we're supposed to decide if we want to see the guy again. At the end of the night the hostess collects our rating cards and if I said Yes to a guy who also said Yes to me, then Click2Asia will send us each other's contact info.

So, after a daunting 2 hour interview process, where I practically talked my jaw off telling each guy the same story over and over, I had to fill out my card.

I didn't spark with anyone. Can you spark with a guy just by talking to him for five minutes about the same conversation topics?

I was about to fill in all No's when I thought it might be a better idea to put down Yes. With the exception of 3 absolutely nots, I put down Yes to 12 guys. My reasoning - it's not possible that all these guys will say Yes to me, but I'm curious to see who was interested in me after 5 minutes. If I had said No, I'd never get their info and I'd never find out who felt that spark for me.

So, we'll see if anything comes of this. I don't really think speed dating is for me. I thought it was a bit ridiculous and restrictive dating process. I don't know if I'd do it again.

I got invited to go to a speed dating event on Sunday. Should I go? None of my girlfriends are going.

Yes, no, maybe? Leave a comment.

EDIT: Thanks for the comments. I tried to sign up, but the promotional code didn't work. So, thanks a lot Click2Asia. Thanks a lot for nothing.

Another CBD lined up for Thursday.

EDIT EDIT: Okay, Click2Asia sent me another email to sign up for a free speed dating so I'm all signed up. The problem is that it's at 4 in Arcadia and I get out of Sfactor class at 2. That doesn't leave me enough time to go home and get ready and leave. So, I might not go still. It was free so I'm not missing out on anything except meeting a bunch of Asian guys.

Another dilemma. What should I ask the guys during the speed date? Something that will make me stand out against the professional Asian car models that might be there. I'm taking suggestions.
