DateWhileYouWait

Man! So this is what happens when I step away from my computer and connect with people in the real World. My bad people!

I started this movement/project/experience to connect with people. Simple as that! There's no service attached to it. if you're in the subway on your way home and see me feel free to take a seat or go on with your day, its really up to you. I provide a opportunity to talk about your day or anything that's going on in your life. I feel we continue to focus all our time on our mobile devices and sometimes we forget about human interaction. I just wanted to bring that back.

Thanks Viperavirus for filling in while I was out. Date While You Wait is exactly what The New York Times, The Huffington Post and CNN saids it is. Here are the links so you can a visual of what it's all about since I'm not moving fast enough for you.

Yes, its a guy just sitting in the subway talking to people with no strings attached. No, its not a marketing campaign. I honestly don't care if any of you follow me. I want people to follow me that are interested in bring people together, not calling them out or attacking them on reddit.

Thanks! Males have sat down with me and has been just like any other conversation. I usually explain that this movement is not about romance and then we enjoy a great game or conversation. Most of the men who sit down just want to play the game. They really want to talk much. I have had repeat customers, they usually just run into me on their way to another location and give me a high five or hug.

Good question, I think is all started back in 1987. I was a baby and really had no idea what I wanted to do with my life.

My project was chosen because of the human component. I had the opportunity to speak to several hundred students about my experience doing DWYW and how human interaction is missed in the age of social media and mobile devices.

Yea, it was amazing! The conference was in Lille, France. It was called the World Forum for a Responsible Economy. Some of the stories included projects on company building and creating eco-friendly resources for countries in Africa. Others were around teaching students in Africa how to us technology. They were all pretty incredible! DWYW was very well received. I had the opportunity to do it in Lille and the locals participated even though I did speak any French. We played Connect 4 and share what words we did know in each others languages. It was great being able to communicate through body language and game play.
