* The SPEED DATING HUDDLE after the event
Dear Gail,I have to ask you this question… a guy once told me that when a bunch of women come to a speed-dating event together as friends (or clique), some of them may already be in relationships and are just coming for support for their friend.So not all the women are actually available? In addition, I was told that when women “huddle together” after the event, that they will decide who picks who so their is no competition amongst them.Is this true?From “Team player”---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dear “Team player”Some of the points you make are true! And let me start by explaining not all women behave this way....Yes we women from Venus do congregate much more then the men from Mars.We go to the bathroom together, feel the need more urgently then the men to go to events together....But the "huddle" amongst the girlfriends is more about comparing notes, to evaluate and crosscheck referenced information, not so much
as to decide, “who gets who”.Example: "OH... I didn't know that about him... he told you that?Trust me MEN do it too.... it’s just that women do it more.As for women attending events that are already in relationships, I have to say no, that is not the norm. Honest women (or men) that are in relationships won’t attend a singles event as they risk meeting people that they might know! And then will have to explain to their significant other, “hey I know so-and-so told you they saw me there, but really, I was only there for my friend.”It might be a bit difficult to explain…I want you to know, I always encourage women to attend alone. They benefit so much more by attending alone.Read my BLOG article about it!I hope to enlighten a few women out there, how we must look to the guys when we do the SPEED DATING HUDDLE after the event is over.Ladies, keep in mind, only YOU will know if that person you meet will be right for you after a few date to get to know one another. You don’t need your girlfriend’s approval, or information she gathered. You need to form your own opinion.Thanks for attending team player!All the best on your quest,Gail Adams- Event Coordinator7 in-Heaven Singles EventsOn your search for the one, we make being single fun!Web site- http://www.7-in-heaven.com
