Crush-INc. Muscatine Speed Dating

I think this idea has some potential.  I know that there are plenty of single people in this town who wouldn't be opposed to enhancing the quality of their lives by adding an intimate relationship to their situation. I see a breakdown in communication as one of the reasons why some people aren't able to meet anyone special and/or settling for someone who they aren't truly compatible with. 

I will be developing the idea over the next few weeks.  Any suggestions or feedback about local speed dating may be useful. 

I featured this concept on the Muscatine In-box. 

The inspiration came to me as I was looking at an acquaintance's photos on facebook, and felt my heart begin to race. I was 'crushin'. Sort of a neat feeling. It think it is healthy and vitalizing to have a few 'crushes'. 

So, the idea is to create an event that breaks down the barriers to communication that seem to be present in the Muscatine singles scene by having singles of similar ages participate in 6 minute speed dates with about 10 people. No rejection, as I would simply email any 'crushes' the next day to those who expressed interest in each other. The owner of the Missippi Brew actually suggested it, so this is the real deal.

I am planning on speed dating in the quad cities to see what it is all about, and then hope to have a speed dating event in Muscatine February 12th.
