[Closed] Anyone been speed dating?

don't mention your luminous crack.

No, but I've been dating on speed. Not recommended

don't Ask

Erm, so let me get this straight.....your mate, who has a "girlfriend", has dropped out of going speed dating and his girlfriend wants to know if you want to go?

What's the real story?! Is this a "girlfriend" or a "girl friend"?

Once, 15 odd years ago.
Left early for the pub, in company.
Brilliant evening from that point on.........

Went once and enjoyed it. Lots of conversations with mostly interesting people with the added bonus that you might come out of it with a girlfriend, what have you got to lose.

P.S. You have to explain the girlfirend, mate and speed dating situation.

I met my (now) wife speed dating..... Observations are:

The women were normal, the men were all weirdos (hello!).
The women were all there with a mate, the blokes were all there by themselves. So make sure you go with somebody: in the bar afterwards the women were all chatting to their mate, therefore instant advantage if there are also two of you. Being there with a woman might not be that helpful in this scenario.
Have a couple of questions ready to go in case the person opposite you is as dull as dishwater - 3 minutes is a long time with some people.

Oh, and get a couple of drinks down you beforehand.

No I took the fine and 3 points.

You will require username change if you don't share the information, sonny boy.

Ok here we go. My mate has a girlfriend. Who also has a boyfriend. My mate is outdoor boyfriend. Her other bf is indoor boyfriend. She's decided that she's ready to upgrade outdoor boyfriend, so they're both going speed dating. For her to upgrade and him to find someone else. It was this or swinging...

IME it was a laugh, don't expect much more though.

wysiwyg - if your email address is anything to go by, you need to attend the dating sesh. 😉

Hasn't this arrangement been mentioned on here a few years ago (wierded me out then as well)?

P.S. Can we have a picture of this girlfriend? She must be rather striking to be able to pull off such an arrangement or own a full Snap On tool chest, can't think of any other reason.

Yupp. It's all tres odd.

What the hell is an outdoor and indoor boyfriend?

If you're going to be posting Monty Python images, surely it should be Poly the Parrot?

One puts up shelves, one takes out the bins.

So if your mate has dropped out, is he planning on being part of a foursome now? Where do you fit into this?

Yup I agree.. all very odd but hey, it's their life n all. However I did know a girl at Uni who "entertained" a number of my mates on more than one occasion.. Nice Girl, came from Ambleside, long dark hair, sexy little thing in all honesty..
Same Girl perhaps?

What does one expect from these types of events? A quick shag, a shag that lasts a month, a shag that turns into babies in 3 months then repeat the whole process?
Dunno, just askin'

[i]What does one expect from these types of events? A quick shag, a shag that lasts a month, a shag that turns into babies in 3 months then repeat the whole process?[/i]

Any or all of those I would've thought. ie. anything but total rejection!

That didn't answer the question Bikebouy.

a shag that lasts a month

Wouldn't that interfere with work a bit?

It's only the same as having more than one friend, I suppose.

Got to be preferable to sneaking around behind a partner's back, surely. At least everyone knows where they stand.

I'll give you an idea of what she's like. Head of IT networking. Likes DnD.

Indoor bf doesn't like going out. Likes xbox.

Outdoor bf larger geek. But does ride a bike.

All three came to the pub quiz once. My mate had to leave it was that awkward. I'm still not sure if indoor is aware of outdoor.

a shag that lasts a month

You are Sting (real name Gordon Sting) and I claim my £5.

So does the outdoor bf ever get to go indoors?

Likes DnD...larger geek

We should have a vote which one she keeps, then vote on the new proposition.. 😆

Think she'd like that??

Now my head really does hurt. All those acronyms.

For Cougar.

Tried this: www.confused.com

Seemingly doesn't cater for this type of scenario?!

[i]a shag that turns into babies in 3 months[/i]

I'm not a parent, but I thought it took longer than that to grow a baby?

We are talking about speed dating

I'm guessing DnD is dungeons and dragons, not Dave and Derrick?

My mate is outdoor boyfriend. Her other bf is indoor boyfriend

Am I the only one wondering what would happen if she was kneeling on the doorstep? Dirty Girl! 😳

I reckon she would probably be up for a bit round the back anyway, sounds like a right minx

Totally. He, not so.

What the hell is an outdoor and indoor boyfriend?

Apparently (according to Google) it's all to do with Cats...

https://www.reddit.com/r/Pets/comments/33alvy/boyfriend_and_i_are_moving_in_together_his_cat_is/

Sounds like someone likes to have cake and eat it and keep some spare. How many of us would be happy with a situation like this, I know I wouldn't be.

I like having two bikes and no girlfriend. The other way round sounds like way too much bother.

Inside and Outside of what?

We need pictures of all 3 and wysiwyg just in case she has designs on him becoming backup boyfriend #1.

This...

sounds like she's grooming wysiwyg to be the next fwiw... 😀

I was more intrigued when she said she couldn't get him to go swinging tbh.

Still baffled on D n D. Dogging and Dishes ? Drainage and Decorating ?

Dick n Dick*, obvs. 😉

Dungeons and Dragons is the standard one.

Ah, just googled it......... Never knew or thought of it.....

Ah, spit roast......

Indoor, in her
Outdoor, gets pegged

Indoor for swinging
Outdoor for dogging

Never personally but one of my gorgeous female ex-colleagues met her husband speed dating. When I expressed surprise that a "girl like her" would go speed dating she said it was a good way of meeting people and better than being in a bar and getting pestered by guys who wouldn't give up / go away.

Hopefully yes. and O M G

I do have a friend from uni who is very attractive and had one fella for the emotional stuff and one fella for the bedroom stuff. Neither could do the role of the other one so it worked quite well apparently.

I didnt go, he went, i have nothing to report. Yet...

Cool story bro

Am I the only one more interested in hearing this story? 🙄

Night in with Mrs. Palm and her 5 lovely daughters does sound less stressful I'll grant you... Definitely less interesting for the rest of us though. 😕

Amen to that! 1 woman is more than enough, for her to recently accuse me of trying to have an affair with another woman we occasionally ride (bikes) with, she hasn't worked out that if I was looking to change my current situation, I'd be looking to reduce my current stress levels not increase them!

a shag that turns into babies in 3 months

No, no, the more people involved the quicker you can grow it. If you have 9 women you can grow baby in one month. OR at least that's what most project managers seem to think.

This thread is weirder than a David Lynch film. Most of us on here are up for a bit of n+1 and everything but this is taking it a bit far.

OP instead of indulging this speed dating nonsense you should try and help your mate with whatever self esteem issues he has. Why is he knowingly in a "relationship" with someone who not only has another bloke on the go but who wants to take him speed dating so she can dump and replace him guilt free? And after he's decided, for some reason, that he doesn't really want to be the turkey that voted for Christmas, why would you agree to go in his place knowing that she is only going to find someone to replace your mate?! She's a total loser, tell her to GFY.

You are Sting

Morelike Sting-ingsensation, amirite?

And after he's decided, for some reason, that he doesn't really want to be the turkey that voted for Christmas

Maybe he just likes a bit of a gobble?

is he planning on being part of a foursome now? Where do you fit into this?

Somewhere in the middle? TBH, from a semi* OCD POV it's better to have an odd number.

Not in my twitchy world!

More on topic I'd happily be Mr Outdoor, but no way the indoor cuckold

A friend of mine has a similar arrangement with two fellas, old steve and young steve. Old steve is the fella she actually lives with, he is ten years older than her seems to provide stability and security, I guess he's indoor boyfriend. Young steve, who is a couple of years younger than her provides the fun times making him outdoor boyfriend. Both know about the other and she has weekends away and evenings out with either but they don't do group activities. I've never really spoken to young steve but from what I'm told everyone is happy enough with the arrangement.

Most of us on here are up for a bit of n+1 and everything but this is taking it a bit far.

Quote of the day!

for some reason this makes me think of Nicole arbour - how to get a threesome video.. has rude words so NSFW. Google it.
