Monty: I decided to try speed dating after I read Malcolm Gladwell's "Blink," about the brain's ability to make quick intuitive assessments... in fact, we probably don't even need the 3 minutes they gave us... I already have a good impression of you... and you... hey... they haven't buzzed the buzzer yet... we still have about a minute and a half, and... OK... actually, now I'm getting kind of a bad impression of you...

While both words have the same number of syllables and virtually the same number of letters, saying “no” can take a tenth the time that saying “yes” does. It’s a scientific fact.

Looks like she has reached the tipping point1 in their speed date.

Monty is hoist with his own petard. He’d do better to shut up and let the woman do the talking….

In my experience, Sisyphos, it’s ALWAYS better to shut up and let the woman do the talking!(And I’ve been married almost as long as King Guz!)

Monty is still clueless.

Kasper, I agree…..A friend of mine finally got a date with this woman he’d been talking about. The next day I asked him what she did for a living, or where she worked, what color her eyes were…What kind of music does she like? He didn’t know any of them. I went, Geeze, what did you talk about? “Oh, I don’t know, just stuff.” And, yup! Ya guessed right! For some reason it was his only date with her…

Yes, Varnes sure that your friend did not score well. I have just one guy who is my ONE. And I dated many frogs over the years; I don’t bother now unless my ONE decides to visit ;)
