Questions & Answers
It is often heard that single people are wasting their time – a valuable one if you are a busy person, on a long date with the wrong person for you. Someone you are not acquainted with received your number from a friend of yours, he or she said they were fabulous and you accepted an invitation to go on a date.
You go out to a restaurant. Another blind date that went wrong. They are not your type, and after three minutes you are looking for conversation topics that will pass the time. You end up spending the entire evening thinking you should have stayed at home or just went out for a drink with your best mate. At least you would have enjoyed the evening!
You are also a kind person and you wouldn't like to offend the person sitting in front of you, by going home after only half an hour.
Sounds familiar? It happens to all the single people all over the world.
With any successful blind date there will be hundreds of awful ones. The experienced blind daters, men and women will tell you that already in the first 5 minutes they are able to know whether the person opposite them is a potential partner. This is what generated the idea of speed dating.
Why spend a whole evening trying to get to know someone you wouldn't want to know in the first place? You therefore, can spend around 7 minutes meeting up to 15 potential partners, during which you will decide whether you would like to meet them again or not.
The idea is of genius simplicity. For a small amount of money, we will get you to meet around 12 single people in your age group.
The evenings are held at a local or centrally located trendy bar. You will be seated around tables, or sofas. The women stay seated during the event and the men move around from one table to the next when 7 minutes are up.
At the end of the 7 minutes of each round, the bell will ring giving the men the signal to move on to the next table and meet with the next woman. After each date the participants mark on the form they have received in advance, whether they would like to meet that person again. A simple DATE/FRIEND or blank will determine whether you would like to see that person again or not.
Upon arrival you will be checked in and receive a score card. You will have sometime to mingle, get used to the atmosphere and have a drink. We will show you which table to attend for your first date. You will spend 7 minutes talking to the person opposite you. At the end of this encounter you will tick in the designated box whether you wish to see that person again or as a date or as a friend. The men then move to the next table. We will give you a break at some point in order to get another drink or freshen up.
At the end of the event everyone are welcome to stay around for another drink and mingle.

In one evening you have been given the chance to meet 20-30 different singles - men and women, where as if you were to meet any of them separately you would have had to spend two to three months!
We believe that this evening is not only about finding your date, but also about finding other friends.
You never know who you might meet, and each person is a world with people surrounding it.
This is also a good chance for you to brush your communication skills.
We pride ourselves with a relaxed atmosphere during our events and we do not like to create too many ‘rules’.
Above all we believe that being spontaneous is the best way to be!
- Be who you are.
- First impressions are the most powerful ones.
- Try to talk and listen equally
- Avoid asking the same questions each time
- Be creative.
- Try to make it entertaining
You will, after all, have a great evening out!
If you have been to one of our events, why not let other people know how it went for you! We receive comments daily on how well the service was organised. We also have had many success stories, including 16 couples who got married as a result of meeting at one of theSpeedDating event. Goes to show that Speed Dating works!
