#AwkwardDates: Had any cringe-worthy moments at a speed dating or social mixer event? Share your experiences! What didn’t you like about attending one of these events?
Hey there, fellow daters! Are you tired of the same old small talk and cheesy pick-up lines at speed dating events? Have you ever found yourself trapped in a conversation with someone who just couldn’t take a hint? Or maybe you got stuck with the one person who seemed more interested in their phone than getting to know you?
I’m curious to hear your stories and thoughts on the not-so-great aspects of attending speed dating or dating social mixer events. Was it the awkwardness? The lack of chemistry? The pressure to make a connection in a short amount of time? Or perhaps you just couldn’t get past the awkward silences and forced smiles.
Take a moment to reflect on your experiences and weigh in on what made these events less than ideal for you. Let’s commiserate, share some laughs, and maybe even learn a thing or two from each other. Who knows, you might even find comfort in knowing that you’re not alone in your struggles with speed dating and social mixers.

I went to one at a Burn with a bunch of cool and hot people but I’m introverted and I was exhausted by the end! It was fun but I decided to tap out early. There are only so many times I can answer the boring same intro questions, I started thinking of weird questions I could ask my dates just to make it less repetitive.
After a while it go repetitive and boring
