Speed Dating Event

A nice night out,
one conversation at a time

Most people tell us how much they enjoyed the event, even if they don’t ‘make a match’ — but more than two-thirds of attendees match with at least one person. Our advice is to go with no expectations: you’ll be more confident and able to be yourself if you don’t put too much pressure on the evening. Bring a friend if it makes you more comfortable. You’re just going to have a nice night, check out a cool location, and talk to some friendly people. If more than that happens, even better!

No membership required — just buy a ticket.

Payment options — pay at the event or online at checkout.

How the evening unfolds

From buying your ticket to hearing back about your matches, here’s exactly what to expect.

01

You will need a ticket

Buy a ticket on our website, and we’ll put you on the event list — you don’t need an e-ticket. Mark your calendar.

02

Dress casual

Informal, relaxed attire that’s still polished. Most people are coming straight from work — think after-work happy hour. Be yourself and comfortable, but please no flip flops or shorts.

03

Find the location

Give yourself enough time to find the location and parking. Show up a few minutes early and look for our friendly Event Host to welcome you.

04

Check in

Tell us your name and we’ll check you in, give you a name tag, a Match Sheet, and a pen. We’ll tell you where to sit and give instructions.

05

Your Pre-Dates

When we start, you’ll talk to 6–12 (sometimes more) singles of the opposite gender, one at a time, in a series of 6-minute “Pre-Dates.” We make the number of men and women as equal as possible, and we’ll facilitate so you’ll meet everyone. Talk about whatever you like, but keep it light & friendly.

06

Mark your sheet

After you meet each one, circle who you’d like to speak with again — and they’ll do the same. Write a small note describing each person (red hair, blue shirt, went to Georgia Tech, likes Indian food, etc.) so you can remember who’s who. Take a picture of the sheet with your phone before you hand it to the Host.

07

Get your matches

Within 24 hours of the end of the event we’ll text and email you the results. If you have “matches” they’ll receive your email address, and you’ll get theirs. We don’t share phone numbers — we leave that for you. You may have no matches from your first event and have four at the next.

08

After that, it’s up to you

Having a chance to connect in person can be the start of something lasting. We hope to see you at a speed dating event soon!

A few friendly tips

Show up early

A few minutes ahead gives you time to settle, find the Host, and get your name tag and Match Sheet.

Keep it light

Talk about whatever you like, but keep it light & friendly — you’ve only got six minutes.

Note who’s who

Jot a quick description on your Match Sheet and snap a photo before you hand it in.
