Title. I signed up for a queer speed dating event recently and I have no idea what to expect. Not really looking for a how-to guide, just curious about others’ experiences. Was it fun, would you do it again, did you meet anyone cool… That sort of thing!

This is likely a regional thing but the one I went to, which was billed as LGBTQ friendly, had 20 participants, 1 bi woman, 1 bi man, 2 straight women and the rest was straight men.

It was not well organized, cost $20, used prompts that weren’t relevant since the early 90’s and overall was awkward and depressing. I hope yours fares better.

Pretty sure I was the only one on speed too. (Joking!)

Oh that sounds like a nightmare! I’m not even attractive for a heterosexual woman (I’m a short, chubby, muscle-dyke-in-training with a missing front tooth) and I still have random straight guys try to get in my pants. If I end up “dating” one, we’re both gonna be disappointed.
