Is online speed dating worth it?
In our estimation, yes. Not only does it make the process less stressful and time consuming, but it's less expensive. Off-line speed dating events are priced at almost $40 to accomodate venue fees, supplies and host payment. We price our speed networking and speed dating events at $15-$25 and offer discount codes so that the events are affordable.
Are your events open to LGBQT singles?
Absolutely. Our events are open to all orientations and gender identities.Should you ever feel anxious or worried about attending, please contact us and we will work with you to make the process as enjoyable as possible.
Are you associated with other speed dating companies?
While we have posted events for other organizations in the past, we're trying to stay away from adding to the confusion. Our events will always be branded with our URL.
How does online speed dating work?
It's a very simple process. Register for an event. On the day of the event, about an hour before start time, you'll be emailed a unique link to use to lof in. You do not need a username or password. All you do is show up AT LEAST 15 minutes before start time, run through the test to ensure your device is video and audio compatible (most are) and then wait for your first speed dating round.
