Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Speed Dating?
We’ve designated a whole page to this one! Click Here.

2.What are the differences between Speed Dating and Social Events?
The main differences between Speed Dating and our Social Events are:

• With Speed Dating, you will interact with other singles more individually, in a more structured setting. The nature of speed dating’s organization increases the likelihood that you will actually connect with other singles. Plus, you will both be given each other’s contact information when you mutually indicate interest in having contact again. There is group interaction during the check-in period, intermission and following the event.

• With our Social Events, there is more group interaction overall and typically you are engaged together in a fun activity. We usually have twists that make it so you meet each other, but unlike speed dating, we encourage and facilitate interaction between everyone during the entire event.

3. How do I pick an age group?
Our age groups are designed to provide suggested ranges for registration. You register for the age group that you belong in according to your own age, not your preference in the person you would like to date. If you are 50, you shouldn’t register for a 24-35 age group, for example, because everyone registered in that group is going to expect to interact with people roughly in that age group. We will randomly verify IDs to ensure people are registered appropriately to ensure everyone receives the speed-dating experience they signed up for!

4.What should I do if I prefer to date older/younger than myself?
We find this often, so not to worry! If you prefer to date older or younger than yourself, we suggest that you choose an age group where you are either on the top or bottom of the age range.

If you are one or two years off the cusp of an age group, we don’t think that’s a very big deal. If you are much more or less than that, then as suggested above, we suggest choosing an age group where you are either on the top or bottom of the age range. This will ensure everyone has the experience they are expecting. During registration, intermission, and folloiwng the event, you will have the opportunity to interact with all speed-daters, regardless of their age groups.

5. Why do some of the events have overlapping age ranges?
Some of the events have overlapping age groups because some age ranges can really vary in preference, so we make it so you can choose. For example, at events with groups 20’s/30’s and 30’s/40’s, some people in their 30’s prefer to date in the 30’s and younger, whereas some prefer to date in the 30’s and older. This will allow people to cater more towards their preferences.

6. How are different age groups separated at the same event?
Age groups are separated at individual events in different ways, such as number systems, tables, and teams. For example: In speed dating, age groups are separated by a number system, with Singles & Sushi, they are separated by tables, and with Rock N’ Bowl, age groups are separated by teams. All other events are divided similarly and accordingly. Age groups do have the opportunity to interact during check-in and intermission, however, not during the main event.

7. Why must I register in advance for Speed Dating?
For speed dating events, we need an equal number of men and women for each age group. We have to monitor registration and start a waiting list when one gender in each age group begins to outweigh the other. There are waiting lists for each event, so space becomes limited. For this reason, you must register in advance and will want to register for speed dating events as far in advance as possible. We cannot take “walk-ins” to speed dating events because we have to know there are equal participants in advance.

8. Why should I pre-register for events?
Pre-registration is required. It is the only way to guarantee yourself a space at the event before we close registration once it reaches capacity.

9. When should I register for an event?
It’s best to register for an event as soon as you know you want to do it for sure. This will help to avoid taking the risk that the event will be on a waiting list as it get’s closer to the event date.

11. What should I wear?
Think of what you would wear to a first date, looking to make a great first impression. We recommend something nice, not too casual, not too formal.

• For guys- Jeans or slacks and a nice shirt would be fine.
• For ladies- Jeans and a nice top would be fine, as would a skirt or dress.

Think of what you would wear if you were meeting up with some friends for dinner and drinks on a Friday night. Some individuals come to events straight from work. Business attire is fine.
