    ok sorry for the flippant nature of this post considering all of the serious issues that are being dealt with here, but am a single guy who has just signed up for a speed dating event and am wondering if anyone can give some insight before I go. As I'm new to the city would be going on my own and am wondering if usually people go in groups - I know everyone there will be single but am a quiet person and just like to know what I'm getting into, also has anyone reading this participated and if so how did you find it??

    I went to a speed-dating night on my own recently & I would consider myself fairly shy and quiet. But it was good craic. There will be other people there on their own and there will be groups as well. I met up with two other girls that I hadn't met before and we hung around together during the break and before, after etc. It was a good night, but I found the first 2 or 3 chats the hardest as you're getting used to the concept. The other thing I would say is - don't get there too early. I know for mine they said registration started an hour before the dating. I was delayed, so finished up arriving in the last 15 minutes and was in loads of time and especially if you're on your own. The last thing you need if you're already nervous is to be hanging around for ages. And finally - best of luck with it!!!

    Hi randman, A couple of years ago I went to a speed dating on my own. I must admit I was very nervious. When I went there I quickly found out there was plenty of fellas there on their own. Very few of girls were there on their own.

    When you go on your own the only time you might feel out of place is before the thing starts standing in the bar by yourself. Once the event starts everybody is too busy speed dating to worry about whether they came with a gang of friends or not.

    I am a relatively quiet person myself and it was not a problem.

    I must say I enjoyed speed dating. I didn't meet the woman of my dreams but it was good fun all the same.
