Trading Places

Not sure if everyone is familiar with the concept of ’speed dating’ – but it’s when a group of singletons meet each other for 5 minutes and then make a note of the people they would like to see again. I think this is a great idea and if not already happily married would probably find much fun in speed dating. Not strictly to meet new people but to ask lots of inane questions. I, in fact, have wasted time in thinking of my top 5 speed dating questions. Now, aside from the questions about name, age, job and religion – I mean how much does that actually tell you about a person? The best questions about their personality – what actually makes them tick are the questions that are completely crazy – because if they refuse to answer they obviously not quick enough to think of a great comeback, or have no sense of humour or imagination – both big no’s in my book.

All of my questions are ‘What If’ questions.

What if I we really got on and when I invited you back to my house I had an army of teddy bears on my bed and I proceeded to introduce them all to you one by one with a full family name and history?

What if I asked you to lend my £5000 to have cosmetic surgery to enhance my breasts?

What if I turned out to be famous – but for the wrong reason (like I embezzled money from my company but in fact a really nice girl) – would you tell your family when you introduced me?

What if, when I stood up I was in fact 6ft 5″ but you had already asked me for a date. Would you still turn up?

What if I was not in fact a lowly, ordinary office worker but the daughter of a crime lord, or a spy or an International Bounty hunter – would you still date me?

I am not sure why I think they would be a good idea, I just think it would be quite funny and I’m a great asker of ‘What If’ questions!!!
