Okay, I have a confession. When I was single I was this close to attending a lesbian speed dating event in the desperate hopes of meeting someone, anyone that was a viable candidate for a normal date. But my ego got the best of me and I talked myself out of it. Now that I’m in a happy, secure relationship it sounds like a fun thing to do …. wait, let me explain and then you can tell me how wrong I am.
First of all, my friend Lana is single, straight and recently took a vow of “Yes.” She swore to herself that she would say “Yes” to any and all social events, given that they don’t include nudity or felonious behavior. What kind of friend would I be if I didn’t blatantly exploit this situation to my amusement? No, really … I would never do anything to hurt her. But I will try to push her out of her comfort zone. Enter: Speed Dating.
I had a flash of brilliance one night, that we should take Lana to speed dating event. But we can’t very well throw her to wolves and tell her we’ll be back in an hour. So we promised her we would do it with her. Yep, Remi and I are going to pretend to be straight, single gals one of these nights to help push Lana back into the dating game.
That’s all fine and well … no harm done to unsuspecting men. I figure I’ll use my fake gypsy accent and call myself Esmerelda. I’ll be so out of my mind eccentric no man in his right man would pick me anyways. As for my lovely girlfriend, Remi, playing a straight girl? Well I don’t know how I’ll hold back the laughter and will seriously wonder if any man there will buy it or are they really that blind, dumb and horny that a girl that looks that gay would ever really want to date them?
Okay, so maybe lying to a room full of men about ourselves is forgivable …. and then again, maybe it’s not but I’m still going to do it. The real question is how horrible would it be if we do the same thing at a Lesbian Speed Dating Event? With Lana in tow as an honorary lesbian for the night? I mean hey, we’ve already brought up the possibility of opening up our relationship for Dinah Shore. Maybe this could be a test run?
I think this will be hysterical. Your and good sport, and a fun friend…Lana will likely have a blast, and you and remi can laugh later over the experience.
OMG. Hilarious. I love the idea. I’d love to see my wife playing the role of straight chick… it’d crack me up!
