Froog's solution to the 'problem' of being - still - single as the dreaded V-day approaches...
Go speed-dating!
No, I jest. I wouldn't be caught dead...
Well, actually, I have been meaning to give this a try - just in a spirit of fun and curiosity, you know - for a good long while now, but... my misgivings about the kind of crazies who might go along to these things with serious intentions of finding a partner are multiplied tenfold on the eve of this great Ersatz Romanze-Fest. In March or April, maybe; but this weekend - I think not.

A lady friend was chiding the other day that I should give this one a go, but I remain fretful that the selection pool this time will be fairly meagre, and possibly marred by "I NEED to find a boyfriend in the next few hours!" crazies. February 13th really is not a good time for an event like this. Especially not for Beijing expats, since very few newbies are arriving at this time of year, and many if not most of the existing residents are still in their last few days of holiday. I fear there could be a very thin turnout tonight.
The pickings should, I think, be much richer in another month or two, after the inevitable round of post-Valentine's breakups.
Darn! I had been hoping to receive inside reports on tonight's proceedings (particularly the number of crazies turning out) from my Love Spy - but it seems she got cold feet and dropped out.
