Tired of prowling the bars and bowels of the Internet looking for your next date? Why not give speed dating a shot? You never know, you might find your perfect match or at least make a few new friends in the process.

This Thursday, Nov. 15, Tru Colors Dating Services and Singles Event presents a women-for-women speed dating event at the Flamingo Resort in St. Petersburg. And Tru Colors founder Amber Dame anticipates this will be the first of many LGBT singles, matchmaking, and networking events in the Tampa Bay area.
