Lisa Coles

I am Lisa Coles and I wanted to tell you about the fun I had Speed Dating in Bath, I had such a great time that I told a lot of my friends who don't live in Bath all about speeddating.They are now looking at enjoying Speed Dating where they live.
There is more to my life than music and dancing but what was missing was a man. I got very lucky on my speed dating night - I met a real rally driver. His name was Simon and he certainly knew how to get my motor going. He may be fast on the road and gravel but I have to say he is also rather fast with the cheeky one liners. He even wanted to be Facebook friends so when I said Lisa Coles Facebook me, he wrote that down very quickly. The thing is now we are more than Facebook friends, and if you check out Lisa Coles Facebook profile you will see we are in a relationship. Simon has even introduced me to a new hobby - dogging which is rather good fun.

Anyway, back to my story of how we met. Speed dating, or speeddating as it is sometimes written, is a real fun, easy and safe way to meet 15 or so people in one night. Speed dating does away with all of the most common hurdles associated with dating - the difficulty of finding new people, the awkwardness of the first meeting, and the time wasted finding out that the person you're dating isn't right for you.

With speedDating everyone is there to meet other people - just like you. You have just enough time with each person to decide whether or not you would like to see them again, and you only get put in contact with the people you want to meet who also want to meet you again - no more awkward phone calls and no having to avoid people you don't like.

What sort of people go speed dating?

Well, most people who go are professionals who want to improve their chances of meeting the right person. They're generally normal, attractive people with varied interests who normally mix with the same group of friends and work colleagues and rarely get the opportunity to meet many new people in one go.

It is great for those who lead busy lives, don't have much time and want to meet new people in a fun, safe environment.

How did the evening work?

Upon arrival the hostesses (loads of s'es there) will give you a personalised badge with a number on it. Once the dating part of the evening actually begins, those with badge number one sit at table number one, those with badge number two at table number two and so on After four minutes, the hostesses ring a bell to let you know the date is done, the girls stay seated and all the guys move round one table. This continues (with a half time break) until you have met everyone there.

After the event, you sign in to the website and tick each of the people that you may want to see again. You will then be able to see how many people have entered their choices, who has ticked you and see details of anyone that you match with. After you have entered your choices, you are sent an email immediately and you get a free SMS text direct to your mobile phone whenever someone matches with you.
