Voice Quick Answers
How do WeekendDating speed dating events work?
You meet up to 15 people in a series of mini dates. Each round is simple, guided, and only a few minutes long.
How long is each date?
Each mini date lasts about 4 to 5 minutes.
Which areas do you host events?
We run events across NYC, Long Island, Westchester, and Connecticut.
When do I get my matches?
Your matches are emailed the next morning, including mutual and one way matches.
Can introverts do speed dating?
Yes. The structure removes pressure and makes conversations easy.
Activity and Cultural Events
Not every event is about dating. We also run concerts, comedy shows, baseball games, fitness activities, scavenger hunts, museum outings, Broadway shows, and more. These events focus on shared interests and making new friends without age or gender balancing requirements.
How Speed Dating Works
You will have up to 15 mini speed dates, each lasting about 4 to 5 minutes. After each date you mark yes or no on your scorecard depending on whether you would like to connect afterward.
At the end of the event, you submit your scorecard. The next morning you receive an email with your matches, including mutual matches and one way matches (they picked you even if you did not pick them). Historically, 70 to 80 percent of attendees leave with at least one match.
As one participant said: I could have stared at a guy all night in a bar and never spoken to him. This forces everyone to be social.
Girls Night Out
This event is for women looking to make new friends or activity partners. It is relaxed, social, and a great way to meet like minded people. (CNN video available — may take a moment to load.)

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon are matches processed?
You get them the next morning.
What if I do not meet anyone?
That happens sometimes. The goal is showing up and trying.
Do people meet long term partners?
Yes. Many couples and marriages have come from these events.
Is this better than online dating?

From Jay
Since 2003 I have watched thousands of people meet through these events. Some formed friendships, some found relationships, and plenty have built families. The format works because it removes pressure and lets people relax and be themselves.
If you want help choosing the right event, you can always reach out at (516) 908-9638 or (718) 757-6933.
See you soon,
Jay
