I
thought this was a pretty interesting thing for my single friends who are still
out there dating. Everyone's heard of Speed Dating, right? Well, in Boise,
Idaho, they've created something called Weed Dating! Of course, the "Weed" part
is what initially caught my attention. Unfortunately, it's not what we're all
thinking!
It
seems for one night a year, a Boise neighborhood farm turns into a meeting
place for singles who are sick of the same old dating scene. In late June, a
poster is planted at the entrance of Earthly Delights Farms with an arrow
guiding visitors to a sign-in table, where they're each assigned a number and
invited to sample beer provided by a local brewer. Plus, alcohol is always a
good way to break the ice when you're on a date. The farm is among a handful of
farms across the country offering an unconventional form of speed dating. In
speed dating, daters meet at a bar or restaurant and switch conversational
partners every few minutes, in hopes of finding someone compatible. With weed
dating, the rapid-fire dating rounds take place on the farm with singles working
together in the fields.
See?
It has nothing to do with smoking weed. In fact, it has to do with agriculture.
Many who have already taken part in weed dating swear by it. One participant
stated that weeding is one of her favorite activities, and that she wanted to
weed with her now ex-boyfriend, but he wasn't such a good weeder. I say
whatever floats your boat! I can't see weed dating being too popular in these
neck of the woods. Then again, I am in South Jersey, so it wouldn't surprise me
if it already existed. Besides, wouldn't this be more fun if this really was
WEED dating?
