I am on dating apps and finding them to be, well, bleak and boring. The conversations seem to be the same thing or if it's not the conversation is going well. If I hint or ask about doing something, ghosted. Okay? The other bleak same-old boring conversations go on and on; it gets nowhere like they... anyways.

Has anyone tried speed dating?

I was going to sign up this month; something came up and I probably can't make that date so I'll go to the next one.

The 8-minute conversations I can ask some good questions and either be a yes or no on the card. Then, there's the social aspect afterwards as it doesn't end there and could talk to others or I could just leave if I didn't like it.

If I am paying for speed dating I am not asking "what do you watch?" I hope that nobody asks me that either.

My question is, have you done speed dating before? How was your experience? Do you have any advice?

If you haven't, would you like to experience that as part of dating?
