What is Speed Dating?
Speed dating, or "speeddating"
as it is sometimes written, is a fun, easy and safe way to meet up to 20
people in one night. Speed dating does away with all of the most common hurdles
associated with dating - the difficulty of finding new people, the awkwardness
of the first meeting, and the time wasted finding out that the person you're
dating isn't right for you.
With Speed dating, everyone is there to meet other people - just like you. You
have just enough time with each person to decide whether or not you would like
to see them again, and you only get put in contact with the people you want to
meet who also want to meet you again - no more awkward phone calls and no
having to avoid people you don't like.
What sort of people go speed dating?
Most are professionals who want to improve their chances of meeting the right
person. They're generally normal, attractive people with varied interests who
normally mix with the same group of friends and work colleagues and rarely get
the opportunity to meet many new people in one go.
Speed Dating is ideal for those who lead busy lives, don't have much time and
want to meet new people in a fun, safe environment.
How does Speed Dating work?
Upon arrival at one of our Speed Dating in Newcastle events, you will be checked in and given a personalised badge with a number on
it. Once the dating part of the evening starts, those with badge number one
will start at table number one, those with badge number two at table number two
and so on. After four minutes, we will ring a bell, the girls will stay seated
and all the guys will move round one table. This continues (with a twenty
minute half time break) until you have met everyone there.
What if I like another speed dater?
You will probably like lots of other people at one of our
Speed Dating evenings - the difficulty is choosing who you would really
like to see again. Use your Speeding Ticket to make notes as you go along and
tick the people you like.
How do I get in touch with them?
After the event, you can either call us or sign in to our website and mark each of the people that
you may want to see again. You will then be able to see how many people have
entered their choices, and see details of anyone that you match with. After you
have entered your choices, you will be sent an email immediately whenever
someone matches with you.
Do many people come on their own?
About half do - we make a point of ensuring our organisers will make sure you
are comfortable. Many people find it easier to bring a friend along for moral
support and to help overcome the first date nerves. We do not charge for you to bring a friend.
