I had so much fun! When compared to various dating sites, this approach is so much more authentic. You get to connect with a live person and feel their energy in that moment. Even if I didn’t have an interest in dating someone, I appreciated the option to develop a friendship. I’ve done two so far and plan to return.

Finally, I took the plunge and went to my first ever speed dating event. (Really! My first.) And I’m glad I chose one facilitated by Frankie Bashan founder of littlegaybook. She knows what’s she’s doing! Painless, and, actually, way more fun than I expected. I found something enjoyable in each of the thirteen 5-minute conversation blips, even though I didn’t have romantic vision for most of the women I met. (I do have my eye on one or two, and I’ll know within 24 hours if we are aligned. And, personally, I’m only looking for one.) The phone app that structured the potential chaos was impressive and functioned well. My only complaint is, and I can’t really complain, because I was forewarned, that speed dating is very, very… speedy!

100% free tip: bring your phone, with juice, and breath deeply now and again!

Loved this event! Actually I was planning on backing out at the last moment, but then made myself attend… I am very glad I did. As a result, I met 5 new potential friends and one date. How cool is that! What’s even better is that I had a good time doing it. It was a lot of fun. I met a lot of interesting women. It was worth it. I’m glad I went, and I will be going again. Thanks.

This speed dating was incredibly well executed, even for someone who isn’t very tech savvy. It was the first time I’ve done anything like this, and it was so much fun! The women that I met at the event were an incredible mix of amazing and interesting people. The format made it easy to talk to women whom I did and did not have formal speed dates with. I made several new friends!

Thank you for making me feel so comfortable Dr. Frankie! I have been so burned out by using the dating apps and getting nowhere. I felt at ease at your fast flirting event and had wonderful in-person conversations with some incredible women. I appreciate how organized and kind you are. The event flowed well and the text rating and notice system was a plus!

I consider myself to be a social introvert and was nervous about going to this event but I was comfortable and at ease the whole time I was there. I highly recommend this event to the lesbian/bi/queer community!!
