4 Cents on Speed Dating

I had wanted to try speed dating ever since I saw Hitch, the Will Smith vehicle in which he helps the shy and socially awkward to be cooler and find love.  Speed dating looked fun and easy and breezy: the ladies sit while the men rotate (a plus for allowing me to be sedentary); you only have to talk for 10 minutes; then Will Smith swoops in and pushes your date out of the way because he likes you.
