On Tuesday! A friend and I decided we'd go for a bit of a laugh and a night away from the telly and you never know, Mr Right may be going too.

Has anyone ever done this before, and if so did you enjoy it? Was it hard starting a conversation with a random stranger?

I went years ago and made a couple of good friends out of it, my friend met her hubby the same night :)

Excellent!
I've been a couple of times myself - in fact that's how I met my lovely ex who doesn't like me.
The conversations are fine - you just talk about normal stuff and the time flies by. (I work in sales though so I talk to people I don't know a lot)
I won't lie to you Kel there will be some proper old-fashioned weirdos there but it will be funny and it will give you and your mate a lot to laugh about.
My advice is don't bother with the friends box cause it just complicates things.
Have fun!

Ooh that sounds very positive. How long have your friend and her hubby been together?

Angie, I don't think I can cope with anymore weirdos. Met too many via internet dating these past couple of months!!

I'm getting really excited now!!

Ah but the difference is you can spot a weirdo much more easily in real life (even if only in 3 minutes) than you can on t'internet. Fact.

They've been together nearly 5 years, I've not seen her for a while but the last I heard they were looking for a bigger house for when they have all their children they're expecting lol!!!  It was a speed dating thing at tiger tiger, there was over 100 people there.  I nearly went but I met my hubby back then and things were going quite well so I didn't feel the need to :)

Let us know how you got on xxxx

thanks Nates you are truly all heart!

Sharon I went on my own and I admit I was pant-poopingly nervous and I walked past the venue twice before actually going in. Once I was in though it was fine - I made friends with the girl at the table next to me and we had a right laugh and got a drink together at half time. I'm really glad I went cause I did meet lovely ex. He probably wishes he had walked straight past without going in though.
