Connecticut & Stamford Speed Dating Events

Hi, I am Jay, the guy behind WeekendDating.com. Over the years, a lot of people who come to the New York and Long Island events have told me, "I wish there were more speed dating events closer to Stamford and southwest Connecticut." That is why I started building out more CT and Stamford speed dating nights instead of making everyone trek into the city every time.

If you searched for something like CT speed dating, Stamford singles events or Connecticut speed dating near me, you are in the right place. Most of our Connecticut events are in or near Stamford and other Fairfield County towns, so you can meet people closer to home instead of always heading into Manhattan or Long Island.

Where Connecticut Events Usually Take Place

Connecticut speed dating and singles events are mainly held in and around:

• Stamford and nearby spots in Fairfield County
• Easy to get to venues near major roads and train lines
• Sometimes virtual CT nights on Zoom so you can join from home

What CT Speed Dating Is Like

The format is simple. You check in, grab a name tag and score sheet, and the host explains how everything works. You will meet a bunch of people in your age group in a series of short, easy conversations. No awkward walking up to strangers at the bar, no guessing who is single.

After each mini date you quietly mark "yes" or "no." The next day, you get your matches by email, including one way matches (they picked you even if you did not pick them).

Why Connecticut Singles Like These Events

• You meet real people, face to face, not just profiles on a screen.
• Events are age grouped, so you are with people in a similar stage of life.
• The host keeps things moving so there is no standing around wondering what to do.
• You can come solo and still feel comfortable - a lot of people do.

Common Questions About CT & Stamford Speed Dating

Do I have to live in Connecticut?
No. Some guests come from New York or New Jersey, but many are local to Stamford, Norwalk, and other nearby towns.

What should I wear?
Smart casual works great. Think "nice night out" - something that feels like you, but you made a little effort.

How long does a Connecticut event last?
Plan on about 90 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the size of the group and how much mingling happens before and after.

Can I come alone?
Absolutely. Most people come alone. The host will walk you through everything and help with introductions.

From Jay

My goal with the Connecticut and Stamford events is simple: give people a real option to meet closer to home. If you are tired of long drives and long commutes just to meet new people, these CT nights can make things a lot easier.

You do not have to be the "life of the party" to have a good time. Just show up with an open mind and be yourself. That is all anyone can really ask.
