Speed Dating

General Information

What is speed dating?

Speed dating is simple! It is pretty much what it sounds like. Speed dating and Social Gatherings events consist of a variety of individuals who have pre registered to the event through the purchase of tickets online or any of the associated networks provided. Start the night by checking in and mingling with other singles prior to the beginning of the event. Once the event begins, guests will get a 4-6 minutes per rotation to gather as much information as possible before the round ends. Guests will have scorecards that they will update throughout the event. These scorecards will be used to grade potential matches and determine if there is a interest.

How it Works

Stage 1: Social Mixer Ice Breaker

So, to get started; simply choose an event you would like to attend. The event is organized where there will be a prearranged number of guests who will all wear an identification badge stating their name and a guest number. This information will be vital to the use of the scorecards throughout the night. These badges will also serve in allowing guests to feel more personal with the interactions they will be engaging in. Like they say, it always helps to put a name to a face! Remember, YOU are the architect of your evening.

Stage 2: Grab interest

As the event cycles through rounds, ladies will stay seated and men will rotate in a clock-oriented direction, ensuring that by the end of the event, every potential match will have had one full round of discussion. Remember that your time is limited and therefore precious! Don't forget that you must share some of this valuable time with your potential match! Teamwork comes into play to ensure both parties learn what is needed to make a calculated score at the end of the round. Therefore, some time management, with a touch of selflessness, is the key! This exciting dating platform tests participants' communication skills along with active listening. Let's make social interaction fun!

Stage 3: It's a Match!

Congratulations! You have made a match!

At the end of the event, your scorecard will be handed in to one of the event hosts for grading. All preregistered guests will have a preferred method of contact in which they will be notified within 72 hours of compatibility grading. From this point, contact information could be available if provided by the match and further dates and events could be arranged. Third-party information will NEVER be given out without guest's consent. Post-match services are optional upon request.

Not to mention, after the speed-dating portion of the event concludes, there will be plenty of opportunity to spark up new conversations or return to previous discussions if desired. Coming soon, will be dating games and challenges that will allow guests the chance to compete against other speed daters and couples to win prizes and giveaways! There is so much more we can do as a community when we come together! Let's REINVENT the way that we interact!

Stage 4 is up to you!!! Are you ready to Ignite your Night?

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when I arrive at the event?

When you arrive you will sign in, and we will give you a Date Mate Scorecard for note taking, a name badge, and a pen. Then we’ll invite you to have a drink at the bar. Once everyone has arrived the host will explain how speed dating works and answer any questions you may have. Then the dating begins.

What type of people will I meet at the event?

Most people at the events are singles who want to meet people outside of their regular circle of friends and coworkers. There is usually a cross-section of people from all types of fields who have various interests. Our goal is to bring together fun, attractive people and see them hit it off.

How should I dress for speed dating?

Wear what you feel comfortable in. Many people will be coming straight from work so casual is fine. But don't forget that in speed dating first impressions count!

Why consider speed dating over traditional dating apps

Many people have told us that they are tired of traditional online dating apps such as Tinder, Match, Hinge and Bumble. They waste time swiping and messaging, when it ultimately leads nowhere. This process can be both time consuming and emotionally draining. With traditional apps, the swiping process can lead to heightened expectations which usually then fall short. Often the chat fizzles out or, for various reasons, there is no chemistry in real life.

Is four-six minutes per date long enough?

Four-Six minutes may not be enough time to determine if you are sitting next to your soul mate, but it can be enough time to figure out if you have chemistry with someone. In that time, you’d probably know if you want to go out and have a follow-up date with the person.

Is it a good idea to prepare a list of questions to ask people?

It's a good idea to know what you want to learn about the person during your date. You can come up with questions based on what you are looking for. We encourage daters to be themselves and be spontaneous. It’s probably not a good idea to have a list of prepared questions. You’re not going on a job interview; you’re out to have a good time!

What should I talk about?

Keep it light and Fun! Talk about something which you are passionate about. Common questions at speed dating will always be about hobbies and a career, but it is good to be original, make the other person laugh, make him/her intrigued. Avoid questions that generate yes/no answers; those will not spark much of a conversation. Think of what you yourself are interested in and what interests you in others. You probably want to reveal something about the personality; great types of questions are those starting with "what would you do if...". Steer clear of controversial topics, like politics or religion, unless either is your passion.

What are some of the ages for Men and Women different

You may see that some of our events have different age groups for men and women. As much as we live in a gender-equal society; some people want to date people older and some people want to date people younger. The different age groups allow this to happen at these events. This isn’t suitable for everyone, so we do have many more events with the same age group for both men and women. We aim to try and cater for all.

What is your Refund Policy

We do NOT offer refunds. If you can not attend an event and give us at least 72 hours notice, we will give credit for another event. If last minute cancellations or weather cause us to reschedule an event, you will receive a refund.
