The other part of me (the awkward, socially challenged part) feels that I'll stumble through six minutes, make a fool of myself, and just feel badly at the end of the night (I know, how's that for self confidence?) Small talk doesn't thrill me in the first place and this is based on small talk. But you gotta live a little, right?
Anyway, what have you all experienced?

I'm single, I've seen them on commercials heard about them and also on tv, never been to one.
I'd go to them to meet new people not to date, but just to meet new people and act silly and not take it seriously at all. I know it's not a popular thing to do for people who are serious going to those things, but really 5 $ dollars to possibly find a decent date. It's a really weird position to be in already.
I would feel rather more awkward in your shoes, because of the circumstances if I chose to go in there finding love or just another date.
In fact, for me being myself I wouldn't take it seriously at all even if it ended up negative for me regardless. That's my take, but I wish you best of luck though.
