Hi, I am Jay. I started WeekendDating.com back on Valentines Day of 2003. I still show up at events with a box of name tags and match cards. If you searched for speed dating events near me over 40, you are probably looking for something real, not theory or recycled dating advice.
That is what we do. Real singles, ages verified at the door, and a structured evening so nothing feels awkward or forced. Just genuine conversations with people in your age group who showed up for the same reason you did.

Why Try Speed Dating At 40 Plus
Dating apps are exhausting. Too much swiping, too many half finished chats, and sometimes people are not who they say they are. When you meet in person, you know right away if there is chemistry. That is the beauty of it.
At our 40 plus speed dating events, you will find:
- Verified 40 plus age groups. We check IDs.
- Balanced groups of men and women.
- A host guiding the flow so nothing drags or feels uncomfortable.
- Events in NYC, Long Island, Westchester, New Jersey and Stamford.
Quick Answers For 40 Plus Speed Dating
Where do you run over 40 speed dating events?
We host 40 plus events across NYC, Long Island, Westchester, New Jersey and Stamford.
How old are people at these events?
Most groups include ages 40s and 50s, sometimes early 60s depending on the event.
How many people will I meet?
You will usually meet between 8 and 15 people depending on turnout.
How soon do matches come?
Matches are emailed the next morning and can include mutual matches and one way matches.
What Happens At The Event
You will check in, grab a name tag, meet the host, and rotate through short conversations. Each mini date lasts about 4 to 6 minutes. You mark yes or no privately, and if it is mutual, you get match info the next morning.
We also include one way matches so you can reconnect if you choose.
Who Attends
Teachers, business owners, nurses, tech professionals, people with kids, people without kids, dog lovers, fitness people. The common thread is that they are 40 plus and tired of wasting time online. They want a real connection.
Why It Works For This Age Group
Over 40, your time matters. These events are efficient, a whole night of real introductions instead of weeks of dead end texting. And since everyone is in similar life stages, conversations are easier and more natural.
Upcoming 40 Plus Events
We run these events often, and they sell out quickly because we keep numbers balanced.

Common Questions
I am shy. Will this feel uncomfortable?
Most people feel that way at first. After a round or two, the nerves fade. The host keeps everything smooth and easy.
What should I wear?
Smart casual. The same thing you would wear to a nice dinner out.
What if I do not get a match?
It happens, but most people get a couple. Either way, you had a night of real conversations instead of more swiping.
Do you really check IDs?
Yes. It keeps the 40 plus age range honest and consistent.
Ready To Try It?
I would love to see you at one of these events. Either I will be hosting or one of my team members will be running the show. We keep it structured, simple and fun.
