I even went on a second date with someone I met on CBD. My experience has been much the same. Everyone I've met has been nice and pretty fun to talk to. I think it is probably because, since it takes a certain amount of guts, the people who use it are by definition at least a little extroverted. Every date is a little adventure where you risk nothing more than the price of a drink and a half hour of you time. I also find it refreshing that by agreeing to meet right away with minimal information, one doesn't have to deal with the endless dance of e-mails and phone calls that characterize meeting someone from other dating sites.

Not particularly good or bad experiences, but certainly good stories for my friends. I, too, found conversation to be easier that expected. I think when you go into these things with low expectations to begin with, all the pressure is off so it's easy to relax, have a drink, and (like you said) just have a 30 minute conversation with a stranger. CBD and OKCupid are run by the same guys that used to run TheSpark.com (The Gay Test, The Bitch Test, The Date My Sister Project, The Fat Project.) They're hilarious, and that shows in many of the tests/questions they're asking to get to know their daters. "War. What is it good for? a.) absolutely nothing. b.) some things. c.) many things. d.) everything." I went on a couple of these Crazy Blind Dates in Feb/Mar.

a.) absolutely nothing.

d.) everything.”

Good luck. Am so glad I am out of the dating circle as I don't think my nerves could handle it anymore. Very interesting, sort of like speed dating where the 20 questions were done in advance?
