Je cherche un gars. I'm looking for a guy.

Yikes. I did it. Signed up for speed-dating. For those of you who don't know what it is, it's an event at which you have several "mini-dates", maybe 10, each lasting a certain number of minutes, for example 10 dates of 8 minutes each. Then a bell sounds and the men get up and move to the next table. Everyone is assigned a number, and you have a sheet of paper on which for each person you meet you mark off Yes or No if you'd like the see them again. If you both have yes's, you are sent that person's email by the event organizers.
I did it once in NY, it was fun, but I had no matches. Now in a few weeks times I will do so in Paris. Yikes!! What if they are all awful!! What if they all think I speak crappy French!! I'm really hoping that the mistakes I make in French will seem cute and charming and just add to my allure....

What's the latest word about the speed dating? We think mistakes in English are cute and charming -- there must be a few French guys that would think minor errors in French charming!
