Speed Dating!! Mama's Got a Brand New Bag

Once upon a time there were two girl who's explored the world of dating and found that it falls short when you have to browse through pages of people are aren't be real. The write-ups are amusing but boast nothing promising and there are numerous repeat offenders who post pictures that are either old or don't show there face or feature too many people to decipher who is really the person posting the profile. And then there's the 1st dates...need I really delve too deep into that one?? I mean really, do I?

The hilarious part of this story is that we were brought together, or actually thrown together by a building merger at work and thus forced to be office mate's. Like a pair of resistant bachelors she moved into my space and set up shop. Had anyone been a fly on the wall that first week that would not have guessed we'd become Office BFF's and thus spend lunch breaks concocting this new business venture of ours...Three Minutes in Heaven! It's actually pretty awesome how awkward that first couple of weeks were and how we slowly discovered each other penchant for social media and crappy relationship stories. And now what would I do without Rachel Stoll?!?

Where we live, just North of Hollywood in the Santa Clarita Valley, there are not a ton of ideal outings for singles to connect at and really get to know someone. On-line dating brings out a few people here and there, but the tough part I find is that many of our single residence work out of the Santa Clarita Valley and commute home long hours on the blessed 5 Freeway. After batting the idea around over cups of coffee in the morning and then taking a moment to really assess the need for organized events, we have thrown caution to the wind and bring you the newest way to connect with singles in the Santa Clarita Valley...SPEED DATING!!!

I've been dying to try it out. We did a ton of research and found that there weren't many opportunities for this kind of event and who wants to drive to Santa Monica to Speed Date? Not so much. And so this little baby was born of our devious little minds. We're hoping to have a rocking event turn out and would love every one's support!!

Wow, girl, let us know how it goes! I've been really reluctant to try this, mostly because I doubt I'd meet anyone I liked. I'd love to hear what kind of guys come to these events. Good luck!
