Giddy up buddy. I think it'll be an awesome experience and you'll end up having a lot of fun. Good luck and report back on how it went. Maybe it'll give some other people a little nudge in the right direction. RSVP’d! Giddy up buddy. I think it’ll be an awesome experience and you’ll end up having a lot of fun.

I totally agree. I meant more that there probably wouldn't be anybody there that was totally dumb and couldn't carry on an intelligent conversation, which is more important to me than specifically being super-smart.

I will say, don't assume that just because someone is in grad school, that they're intelligent. Or if a person is intelligent, that this person will make a good date/future love interest. I dated (long term) a very educated man who was in Mensa. Won't bore you with the details, but he definitely had a superiority thing going on that was a huge turn off in the end. I've also dated and been friends with many others who fall into the intelligent/near genius/creative wonder category. What I've learned? Find someone who has the same interests and values that you have who you can have FUN with. Do you smile when that person is around? Do you look forward to being together? Does this person understand you and even if the answer is no, does she try or at least care? When you're speed dating, look for that energy...that smile...some enthusiasm. Insanely smart only goes so far. :) It sounds interesting…and really, what have you got to lose?
