26-year-old girl wants to date 300 guys

Talk about making the most of your Valentine's Day.  Francesca Salcido, a 26-year-old student at San Jose State, plans to do a 24-hour dating marathon on SpeedDate.com. The online video dating service sets users up on as many three-minute first dates as they can stomach, slamming another nail in the coffin of the good old-fashioned in-person blind date. But, like, is anyone going to miss it?

“I love Valentine’s Day and what better way to celebrate than to be dating all day,” Salcido said in a news release. “And who knows? Maybe I’ll find that special someone so next year I can celebrate in a more traditional way.”

The site's co-founder thinks Salcido can rack up as many as 300 dates in one 24-hour period (her current record is 100).   But hold on, 300 dates x three minutes is only 15 hours -- what's she going to be doing for the other nine hours?  Eating? Sleeping?  Please, what kind of record attempt is this?  According to Guinness online, there is not yet a world record for number of dates in a one-day period.  So someone's definitely going to break it with all that extra time....

On the other hand, maybe she's budgeting some rest time in there to make sure her 300 dates are actually quality dates.  Which is probably smart.

I think I dated her mother in the 60s. If so, I know what she'll do during those unexplained 15 hours.

You dated me in the sixties? Well anyway, I think what she is doing is great. I want her married soon so I can have some grandbabies!!! Go SpeedDate !

What if she falls in love with number 47?

The plan is flawed.

If only I had seen this article BEFORE Valentine's Day, I SO would have challenged her. Only 15 hours of dating?? Weak sauce, I say!
