Operation New Guy: Day 1

"I went around the world and did seventeen guys in 2 and a half hours...beat that." - Diva


Really, it's not what you think! It was all in the name of my new Mission..."Operation Replace Brian"(ORB) before he leaves...get a new guy.

I went speed dating tonight, and it was actually fun. I mean of course it would be, because I have fun where-ever I go, but I was surprised. I went into it pretty optimistic, until I got the Memo that more guys were needed. Evidently, they got the Memo too, because there ended up being too many guys! And here I was, scared there were going to be too many ovaries in the room!!! The ratio of guys to women was way better than the club scene...

So overall, I give the atmosphere a 9.5, the organized staff a 9.5, and the ambiance a 10. The guys....well that's another story. I opted to go with one that had an "International" theme. Apparently, not anyone that was really "International" got the Memo. Or maybe everyone else wanted something "different" too. I met guys from Egypt, Uzbekistan, South Korea, and the other 14...pretty much home grown.

Out of the seventeen guys, there were two & a possible. I mean really, when you have four minutes to determine whether or not you want to give someone a chance, you don't have much to go on, so I will confess, my criteria was pretty much based on looks, and attraction. And well...like I said two & a possible, I might be able to squeeze two more, so five tops!

Would I do it again...yes, it was fun, something different...and lets face it...it's Tuesday...I didn't have anything to lose!

All in a days work!
