RLABS : Speed Dating

Last week i tried Speed Dating for the first time. Not to meet someone for a relationship, but to meet people and as friends. It was very interesting and what i really learnt was not to look at people at face value. When you take the time to speak to someone and listen to what come out of there mouths, that is the time you really get to know them.

I met alot of interesting people, but the ones that stood out for me was Delmarine, Charmaine and Clive.
Delmarine is married for 42 years, WOW, that is truly an achievement , i asked her whats her secrete, i would of traded mine in a long time ago LoL. She is a line dancer teacher, whatever that is, she does gym gardening, can someone make me understand that please

I met a husband and wife team, they were the outstanding, Clive and Charmaine are married 34 years with 3 sons, they travel all over South Africa,the reason for that is,they are missionaries, there ministry is to work with children, Clive started in 1973 and is still doing it today, that was truly amazing to me, in the times and the world that we are living in today, with all the abuse that is happening to the children, it is wonderful to hear that there are people still out there still dedicated to love and devote there live to children, striving to give children a better life and a hopeful future. i salute this couple that i met and got to know better, there is still love in this dark we are living in

I will definitely try speed dating, just hope that the time will be a bit longer next time.
