Speed dating: Part Quattro

So Jen and I went speed dating again Friday night. We're sitting at the bar waiting for the event to start and Jen is talking to this guy and tells him how I'm a speed dating regular. Funny enough until the speed dating guy comes up to ask our names and recognizes me. Like he knows my name and hands me my name tag without having to ask. My fear of ending up alone has paid his electric bill for the month since I've been there so many times.

Overall, the event was kind of disappointing. Only 10 guys out of 15 showed up, so there were a lot more girls than guys. Jen and I weren't really excited about anyone we talked to, but we did talk to some unique individuals again.

The most unique was a German Computer Science teacher at NC State (Matt totally had him for class). At first you'd think he could be good - he's foreign, smart, and has the potential to make good money. Of course this is not taking into account that he had a unibrow, very high pants, and spoke about 1,000 accented words a minute. I'm pretty sure there were multiple times I answered questions wrong, but I don't think he minded too much since most of his focus was on my boobs.

There was also a lovely gentleman who talked about how he had met some people from IBM that morning as he was waiting in line for the new Nintendo. Unfortunately, he didn't get one and has to wait till the 19th. His willingness to wait in line instead of going to work shows that while he may not have the best work ethic, he would be a valuable asset if I ever needed tickets to a Duke basketball game.

In pure six degrees of separation style, I did meet someone who works with the father of my neighbors growing up. Small world. He was kind of slimy, although this didn't stop me from putting him down as a match (I said the selection wasn't that great) and of course we matched. I don't know if I'll go out with him or not.

At the end of the day, I put down four people and matched with 2 of them which is about par for the course. The one guy has already emailed me. His name is Greg and he is a lawyer which is freaky because my father's name is Greg and he is a lawyer.

The good news is that there is another event in November as the speed dating guy kindly reminded me in his email before he even gave me my matches. My name is Heather and I'm a speed dating addict.
