Speed dating had seemed like a good idea to sign up for at the time, but now that I was staring down the barrel of actually doing it, I had to wonder what the hell I'd been on when I'd agreed to it. I wasn't looking to start a relationship, and it wasn't as if I needed more men in my life in the general sense. Still, I'd committed to it, and there was nothing for it but to rally my dignity and jump into the singleton fray.

"Though I suppose you're probably getting a bit tired of blokes introducing themselves at this point, aren't you?"

"Well, I did sign up for it," I pointed out, which wasn't exactly an answer. "You're one of the last, though, so you've got a real opportunity here to wow me," I added with a smile. "Leave a lasting impression and all that."
