The venue was okay, although not easy to find and some distance from car parks. I am shy and felt a bit intimidated at first. I arrived as instructed at 7.10pm for a 7.30 start, and spent a long time feeling self-conscious sitting on my own. As the event started late at 8.15pm. I think the hosts should have made an effort to introduce me and one or two others who were there on their own to one of the groups who were chatting - all of the women had come with one or two friends.
Every one of my dates said that 4 minutes wasn't long enough, especially as there were only 7 men and 9 women. I agree with them. Had the event started on time we could have had longer per 'date' rather than sitting around.
At the end of the event the groups who had chatted at the start grouped together again, and I was once again on my own, so left, feeling more alone than when I arrived,
Of the 9 women, I had 4 nos, 3 maybes and 2 yeses, so ticked five. As I write, 6 of the 9 women have submitted their choices and none have selected me. I am bright, intelligent, kind, gentle, have a sense of humour, am slim, athletic, very fit for my age and was probably one of the better looking of the seven men there. My friend''s wives and girlfriends cannot believe I am single and cannot get a date. Your event has plummeted my self-confidence through the floor and made me more convinced than ever that I am virtually undateable..
