I take that approach too RugBug. I'm also quick to determine someone's not worth my time.
Anyway I've learned a lot more about the situations while looking for updates on their blog. First off it looks like this is not her first date ever. The first date thing they were harping on is that they're getting her to go on 10 dates in 10 days with 10 different guys. The reason being that they read people find "the one" after an average of 30 people. They say she's way short of that average so they want to knock 10 out of the way rapid fire. So, "first date" was first of the 10. Anyway first date still hasn't happened. She's out of town right now apparently. We'll see if chef guy chops her up and stores her body in his freezer after next update I guess. :-)

Then she is actually wasting their time. She is not really looking for someone as much as showing she can get 10 dates in so many days.

Not necessarily. It's kinda like medium speed dating. They all probably have some chance, but it's like less than 10%. Cause it's possible none out of the ten will get a second date.

Nyah...I don't think it's that at all. Just if someone isn't going out with people, the chances of meeting someone is low. Besides, the people who are willing to be set up like this probably aren't the keepers, but it will get this girl more willing to go out.
A situation like this would probably help me. I HATE dating. Abhor it. If I had to go out on 10 dates for some stupid stunt, I would probably be a little more comfortable with going out.

As a man, if I ask a woman out it is because I am looking for something permanent and not speed dateing.

Well that's not as fun as it being her first date ever with mister creeps.
I'm a bit a commitment phobe so the whole "permanent" thing is enough to have me running far far away in the opposite direction.
However if this magic number being 30 thing is true, I myself under par as well.
I guess some would say relates to the commitment problem.

I'd actually consider dating this chick as one of her 10 guys. It takes the pressure off IMO. If you like her and she likes you then awesome. If not it's no big deal.
If I ask someone out that I'm really interested in then there's a lot of pressure for things to go well.

Well, that's optimum..but in some situations it becomes difficult to find someone you might want something permanent with. Just getting out there gets you on the path to meeting someone.
For instance, the last time I met someone I was interested in was about two years ago. The last time I met someone new that was available (and that's not even discussing any sort of attraction/compatibility/potential...just single and of an acceptable age) was a few months ago. If I average "available" abot 3 times a year and "potential" once every two years...I really could use some help in upping those numbers. Going out with more availables increases the odds of meeting a "potential" and that's what the whole radio things is playing with (and trying to make some funny on-air talk, because what's funnier than horrible first dates?).

Mix everything except the puff pastry sheets in a big bowl and pour into a casserole dish. Put in the oven and bake 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Cut the puff pastery so it covers the whole top of the baking dish then cut a small circle in the center. Put it on top of the partially baked casserole and put it in the oven 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes until the top is golden brown ( it looks liks a total pro job:)
Also buy a bag of salad to serve with it:)
Dessert

1 cup lemon curd ( you can buy it in the jam isle
1 package of cream cheese
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
juice and zest of one lemon
one premade graham cracker crust
whipped cream ( the real kind)
Mix the cream cheese, lemon curd, juice of th lemon and sweetened condensed milk with a mixer until super creamy. Pour into pie shell. Top with whipped cream. Grate teh lemon zest on top of the whipped cream ( and if you want some contrast also grate a lime zest on to it)
Since everything is " homemade" it's super impressive and seems like you spent all day cooking
ooh good ponder.. what things are you super conscious of during a first date

The DJ date thing isn't quite as fun now we know it's not just random creepies on a first ever first date... but you should still keep us abreast of any interesting developments.
Also MSA, the recipe has been copied with the rest. I don't eat half the fancy things you come up with, but it can't hurt to have them handy.
As for the ponder... I wouldn't know yet, I guess I'll have to get back to you on that one.
