Never done it myself, but I have some friends that have attended - if you are confident enough to sit down with multiple people and have a 5-10 minute conversation with them, then I would try it - it can't hurt.

never tried it but really i think its a good option these days... has to be better than online dating, atleast you can try and judge the character of the person through their body language and expressions... plus the eyes are the window to the soul. I'd give it a go if I had the confidence!

I would give it a try, just for information/fun if nothing else. Experience is the best teacher; I'm sure it works for some or it wouldn't be so popular.

I've seen it on TV and I think it's a good option to try. Experts say most of us can tell in the first few minutes whether we want to continue seeing a person. I think it's a great way to meet more people in a short time with less pressure. I'm sure there have been many blind dates, where they can't wait for the night to end because they don't like each other. In this case you sit down for a few minutes and then move on to the next one. I say try it and good luck.

Actually the entrance is $40 which will include also games, contests, music and a stand up comedy show. Is it worth paying $ 40? Tell me quick the attendance is limited for a total of persons.

Think about it....it's cheaper than going to a bar or concert where you MIGHT meet someone but they're not there specifically to meet someone. Everyone there is there for the same reason. Plus, don't they give you their impression of you afterwards? I think it would be good just to see others' reactions to how you present yourself to maybe do some thinking as to how you present yourself to people. I would go just for the music and comedy show lol

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
