We hold Speed Dating events in a casual environment. This makes for a great atmosphere and gives you the opportunity to stay afterwards and continue talking to the people you've just met.

 

2. What are the advantages of Speed Dating?
Speed Dating offers a fun and safe alternative to the singles bar scene. There is the advantage of meeting face to face and even though there is a limited time to converse, usually this is enough time for you to determine if there is a spark and decide if you would like a second date. You avoid nightmare 2-3-hour blind dates, expensive dinners and lunches with people whom there is no chemistry with.

 

3. What do I do upon arriving?
Check in with the Speed Dating coordinator who will give you a name badge with an assigned table number.

 

4. What if I am late in arriving?
Each Speed Dating event is held with an equal number of single men and women. If you arrive late, you rob yourself and other attendees a chance at meeting. It is very important to be on time.

 

5. What happens when the seating begins?
Each Speed Dating single will be asked to sit at the table with the same number as his/her assigned number. For example, if you were assigned #8, you would begin by sitting at table #8. The Speed Dating coordinator will then explain to you that each time a bell is rung, men will move to the next table to meet the next single. Each encounter will last approximately five minutes.

 

6. Is 3 to 5 minutes with each person enough time?
Spending 3 minutes with each person is a great way to see if you are interested in a full date. It gives you a chance to actually "see" them and determine if there is any physical chemistry, plus spending 3 minutes with someone is usually enough time to decide if you want to get to know them better.

 

7. What is the dress code?
Although a dress code is not enforced, we suggest you wear dressy-casual clothes just like you would in any date. Some people dress to impress. The important thing is to keep in mind this will be your first encounter with a potential date.

 

8. How are the matches determined?
If you marked "yes" on your tally sheet after meeting a certain person, and that person marked you "yes" as well, then this is a match. The tally sheets are carefully reviewed after the event by the Speed dating coordinator who emails the results within 48 business hours to each Speed dating participant. It is then up to the "matching" singles to contact each other.

 

9. What information is given out to a "match?"
We send via email only the information that each Speed Dating participant gives permission to release. Usually, we give out the e-mail address of the matched participants.

 

10. What NOT to discuss at the Speed Dating event.
In order to create a safe, comfortable and enjoyable evening for everyone, please do not ask anyone their contact information, another date, be polite and respectful, keeping in mind the format and purpose of the Speed dating or ask sexually explicit questions, use lewd language or say anything that might be interpreted as threatening or as sexual harassment. If you meet someone you would like to date, you may inform him or her that you will be marking yes on your tally sheet, but do not pressure him or her to put your name on his or her sheet. We request that you please comply with this.

 

11. How long does each event last?
We request that each Speed Dating participant arrive one half hour early to mingle with other singles, and then the actual seating lasts for approximately two and a half hours.
