How It Works

How Our Speed Dating Works

01

Check in and settle in

Arrive a little early, grab your name tag and match sheet, and enjoy the venue. At many events ladies get a complimentary drink on arrival.

02

Rotate through short dates

Ladies stay seated and men rotate. Each date lasts about five to seven minutes, long enough to feel the chemistry. Some nights add a light "compatibility question" to every round.

03

Get your matches

Mark who you'd like to see again. We collect the sheets and send your mutual matches the next morning by email, text or both.

Speed Dating, Done Right

Real Conversations, Not Endless Swiping

Dating apps give you profiles. Speed dating gives you people. In a single evening you’ll have face-to-face conversations with a room of singles in your age range, and you’ll know within minutes whether there’s a spark.

Our NYC speed dating events run in hand-picked Manhattan venues such as Rosa Agave on Hudson Street, Cloud One’s sixth-floor lounge on Greenwich Street, Printers Alley and Sourmouse. Every event is hosted, so there’s no awkward start and no one gets left out.

Find your age bracket

Events are grouped by age so you meet people at a similar stage of life. The calendar rotates through ranges such as 21–29, 22–37, 30–45, 32–48, 35–55 and 40s & 50s. The range is always in the event title.

Themed nights keep it fun

Alongside classic formats we run themed nights like "Dating Games" with a unique twist, Date & Play, mystery speed dating and seasonal specials such as our Halloween "Love at First Bite" night.
