people in the seminar were as affected by Lisa’s message as she was. The other women and some men in the audience seemed intrigued and completely engaged in Lisa’s speech.
She wanted to be angry at Alyssa for bringing her to this meeting, but at the same time knew that maybe she did need to be there.
Lisa continued on, giving tips and pointers about the blunders and sins that many people committed in their relationships and interactions with love interests.
Kyle sat in a chair in the very back of the room, closest to the door. He hadn’t intended to even attend the seminar, but the large, bold red lettering outside the door had sparked his curiosity and drawn him in.
The dating coach’s statement about willingly repeating past mistakes because of being tied to old baggage had struck a chord.
He knew that as long as he allowed himself to be attracted to women that were just like his ex, he’d most likely get the same result.
When Lisa wrapped up the seminar, the class exploded into enthusiastic applause. Kyle rose from his chair and slipped out of the room.
All he needed was Lloyd and Duane to stumble upon him there. And when scanning the room, he’d even noticed that Liana and Alyssa were there. Though he’d found the seminar enlightening, he preferred to keep his attendance there under wraps.
Chapter Ten
Alyssa must really be rubbing off on me, Liana thought, as she took a seat in a chair, waiting for the speed dating event to begin. This was the first time Liana had ever done this.
Alyssa had used the lessons they’d learned from the seminar earlier that day as leverage, and told Liana that she had to at least give some of Lisa’s advice a try. Eventually Alyssa won, and convinced Liana to come along for the cruise’s Single, Grown Speed Dating event.
And apparently, at least half of the ship was interested in attending as well, because the room was packed. The host of the event was forced to split the crowd up into three separate speed dating groups in order to accommodate everyone.
Liana and Alyssa were members of the first group of daters. They filed in when the women from their group was called, and took seats next to each other. Moments later, the men entered and picked seats for their first date in the round of speed dates. Liana looked up just as Kyle slid into the chair opposite her and she looked over to see Lloyd take a seat in front of Alyssa.
Alyssa smirked at them, “Really, guys?”
“Hey, we’re here for the speed dating, just like you two are,” Lloyd answered, and his eyes sparkled as he winked at Alyssa.
Liana gave Kyle a questioning look. He shrugged, “I figured if I’m going to find out more about you, this is my best shot.”
Liana shook her head and just then the host rang a bell, indicating the start of the first speed dating session. The participants were given three minutes to converse with each speed dater, before their time was up and the men were required to change seats, moving onto the next woman in line.
Kyle didn’t waste time and pulled out all of the basic questions that he’d been eager to ask Liana since they’d first met. Liana laughed, finding his interest quite amusing.
Then, before either of them was ready, the bell rang, signaling that it was time to move on. Lloyd moved on to the next woman to his left, but instead of moving to his left to sit in front of Alyssa, Kyle motioned to the man on his right who was supposed to take his place in front of Liana. He whispered to the man, and the dater shot a quick glance at Liana. He smiled, nodded his head and skipped over Liana to sit in front of Alyssa. Alyssa exchanged glances with Liana and they laughed.
Kyle continued his easy conversation with Liana, and felt as if he was finally getting to know more about her than he’d anticipated from the outset of the trip. She was like a different
