Speed dating is a lively live dating format where participants rotate between tables and get to meet many potential dates in a short time. You are welcomed by a smiling host who hands you your welcome material and points you to where you can mingle with other participants of your own gender while everyone waits for the speed dating to begin.
Before the first round, a short introduction covers all the practical details. You will get to meet between 6 and 12 singles of the opposite gender. Each date lasts 7-10 minutes, with up to 12 rounds and two breaks along the way. If some people have not yet met everyone of the opposite gender after 12 rounds, there is an extra round where participants can choose to arrange one more date with whomever they wish.
During the evening you fill in a match sheet, marking whether you would like to stay in contact with each date. If you and a date have both ticked "Yes" for each other, you are a match. Within 1-2 days you receive an email with your matches, including their date number, first name and phone number, and it is then up to you to take things further.
