The D.C. man who lined up six dates in one night said he’s sorry—sort of.
“It was a mistake,” said the man going by the name of “Justin.”
On Monday, Justin basically lined up a round of speed-dating at Truxton Inn. The women arrived one by one and were on to his game. They ended up joining forces and getting drinks together at a bar across the street.
The whole situation unfolded live on Twitter in an epic string of updates from Lisette Pylant—date #1.

When she confronted him that night, he responded “Well, I’m a project manager, I manage my time efficiently.”
"...A project manager, I manage my time efficiently." And I say there's no way to know someone in 40 mins of you have 5 dates lined up

But according to Justin, the women also got the wrong impression.
“Never said ‘Let’s go on a date.’ I always say ‘Let’s meet for drinks.’ If I take you on a date you will know it’s a date. There will be flowers and dinner and some other cool things involved,” Justin said in an interview with Inside Edition.
He prefers to call these kind of meet-ups “preliminary conversations.”
Still, Justin felt a little bad for how the whole situation went down.
“I’m not going to deny who I am and I’m not going to deny that I wanna meet a bunch of people, but I approached this wrong and I am sorry for that,” he added.
He finally realized he wasn't winning and just walked out. #6 and her mom and aunt are now our new best friends

And he added that he is in fact still in the dating game.
“I’m looking for love.”
Maybe just try one "preliminary conversation" at a time, Justin!
