Nz speed dating

The atmosphere was really awesome and really opened up conversations.

The location was good too central, I really enjoyed meeting people from all over Auckland.

I thought 5 minutes was a long time but found that actually it went by so quick! I loved that you could also match people as friends also! I will definitely go again I recently attended a Kringles Speed-dating event and while I went into it not knowing what to expect, I was pleasantly surprised.

It can be really hard to meet likeminded people these days and I find a lot of my friends lately are settling with being unequally yolked.

Lucky for me, I did happen to meet someone I got along with.

We had a genuine connection and unlike many of the others, he wasn't sleazy, a cheap talker, shy or awkward. I ended up spending the rest of the night engaged in an hour-long conversation and discovered his personality was a mirrored reflection of my own. He introduced me to some of his friends and was a true gentleman with no hidden agendas - even offering to walk me to my car.

He'd signed up to Seeking - a website where wealthy older men and women in desperate need of companionship pay young people to date them.

Being a single girl in a new city on Valentine's Day, I felt both brave and completely bonkers to have signed my dignity away on a blind speed dating event.
