I got the jitters and nervousness right before it but pushed my way through and walked into the venue. Then I noticed something. All the other guys were just like me, not unattractive but not giga chads, just regular men. This eased my mind a lot that I wouldn't be some outcast amongst some concocted image of high school jocks and the nerd. There were 15 men and 15 women. Rotating every 5 minutes and an intermission at the halfway point. You all get a scorecard with basic yes or no next to the person your talking to. A yes on each persons part results in an exchange of phone numbers the next day. The greatest aspect of the event was that it removed the fear of outright rejection. Everyone I met was nice and pleasant. Nobody said outright no. Sometimes the conversation flowed, and sometimes 5 minutes felt like an eternity. As the guy I always took the lead and gave a prepared short autobiography to get the conversation going (name, age, job, siblings, ex-wives (none), kids (none), pets, diet, drink/drug habits(none), and hobbies). This let me just give it all up front and also an opportunity to listen to their answers. Out of the 15 I met, I only said yes to 3 people and one I said we'd just be friends because while I wasn't attracted she said she found me very interesting. This was less because I currently don't want to date anyone with kids. Some I wasn't attracted to, and some we just didn't click. I find out today if I actually matched with anyone. But I'm high on the fact I got to be social, took a risk, put myself out there and made an attempt. It also compressed years of missed experiences into a crash course.
