Q)
What Exactly is Speed Dating?
A) Speed dating is a fun and
fast paced way to meet a lot of other
singles
in your area, who are also looking
to find someone special. Throughout
the night, the women remained seated
at different tables while every 5 minutes
the men rotate to meet with each lady.
At the end of each 5 minute "mini-date" participants
privately vote “yes” or “no” on
their DateSwitch Date Card depending
on their interest. If there is a match,
both vote "yes" to one another,
the next day we email them with the
other's email address so they can talk
more, exchange phone numbers and set
up another date!
Q)
Why 5 Minutes?
A) We have tried different time increments,
but have found that 5 minutes works
best. We found that most people know
in just a few minutes if they would
like to get to know someone better
or not. This is the purpose of speed
dating events – to bring multiple
singles together in order to find other
singles they would like to know better
and set up real dates with. If you
really hit it off with someone and
want to talk longer, stay when the
event is over and mingle at the after
party.
Q)
Who Attends DateSwitch Events?
A) Many different people attend DateSwitch
events, but we have found that one
of the things they have in common,
is that they are usually intelligent
professionals who have just not found
that special someone yet. Most people
who attend are busy professionals,
but due to a fast paced life have not
had the time to meet many other singles.
People who attend our events are motivated
people willing to get out there and
meet others just like them. You would
be surprised by the number of people
now married that met while speed dating.
Then again, should you be surprised?
DateSwitch sets a relaxed social environment
that brings single people together
so they can find exactly what they
are looking for. You can quickly eliminate
everyone you are not interested in
and instead focus on the people with
whom you do share an interest.
Q)
Where are the Events and is there
Privacy?
A) DateSwitch events take place in
a private room of either a restaurant
or lounge and during a time when
the venue is closed
to
the public specifically for our event;
therefore there is nothing to feel
awkward about.
Q)
I Think I am too Nervous to Try Something
Like
this - Any Tips?
A) Many people new to speed dating
may be nervous about attending an event.
However, there is absolutely no reason
to be nervous – everyone at the
event is just like you - single and
looking to meet other singles. The
events are very low pressure, organized
and take place in a structured setting.
You never have to worry about approaching
someone at DateSwitch events, because
they are expecting and waiting for
you to approach them! Don’t let
nerves stop you from an opportunity
to meet someone great!
Q)
I Don't Want to try it Alone -
Will I Feel
Awkward if I Do?
A) There is no reason to feel awkward
about attending an event alone. In
fact, 90% of the people attending an
event come alone. We have fantastic
hosts and our events are very structured
so you will never feel as if you don’t
know what is going on. Once at an event
you will be paired at a table with
someone and engaged in conversation,
therefore having a friend with you
is not necessary. However, people do
have a great time when they bring along
their friends. Ladies - Our events
make a great ladies night out as well,
so encouraged your single girlfriends
to join you!
Q)
What if there isn’t anyone
at the event I am interested in?
A) We are so confident our events work
that you can come back for FREE if
there isn’t anyone at the event
you are interested in! To receive
a Free Pass to another event,
you must circle no to everyone on
your date
card while at the event. If
you circle yes to one person, regardless
if you
match with them or not, you will
not be eligible for a Free Pass.
You are eligible for one Free Pass per
paid event. It is usually very rare
that
we have someone with no interest
in anyone at an event, but the Free
Pass option is available.
Q)
How Much are the Events?
A) The events are $35 up until 1 week
before the event date. After that,
the rate goes to $45. This encourages
early sign-ups, which makes it easier
for us to prepare for the event.
The event fee also helps keep it a good
crowd and attracts those who are
serious about finding other singles looking
for a relationship. If the events
were free, they would bring out a different
type of crowd that is not really
serious about meeting that special someone.
Keep in mind that if there isn't
anyone at the event you are interested in you
can circle no to everyone and come back to another
event
for FREE! We
want you to meet someone you are interested in
and this ensures that you will!
Q)
If I Come to Another Event will I Meet
the Same
People Again?
A) At our events you meet all new people
every time you attend - unlike
other speed dating services where
you may
be paying just to meet the same people
over and over again. Many people match
at one event and start dating a few
days later. For some it may take a
few events before they really meet
the person they are looking for. Give
it time - it will happen and this is
the
absolute best way to find that special
someone. The person
you have been searching for might be
there that night or they might be 3
events away. Even
if this is the case, we will always
be
hosting fun events until that someone
does come along!
Q)
Why Should I Choose DateSwitch over
Similar Services?
A) Many reasons including the one mentioned
above, but the main reason is when
you attend a DateSwitch event, the
fun is not over when the event ends
- the night is just beginning! We want
the entire night to be fun. You are
dressed up and out - why not make the
most of the night? We always try to
have our events at venues and on nights
with fun things going on after the
event. This gives you an opportunity
to talk more after the event with the
people you hit it off with! Also, with
DateSwitch, you get personal attention.
If you ever have any questions you
can email us at info@DateSwitch.com and
we will answer you promptly and keep
you informed about upcoming events.
Q)
What is the Success Ratio?
A) Results vary from event to event.
It has been our experience that more
than 75% of our participants will have
at least 1 match. The average DateSwitch
participant usually has 2-3 matches.
Q)
How Many Singles can I Expect to Meet at
an Event?
A) Each event we strive for 15 men and 15
women. Some events may have 20 men and 20
women, while
others may have 12 men and 12 women. Some events
may have a few more men while others may have
a few more women. There is no set number, but
we try to get the numbers as even as we can,
although that is not always possible. Keep
in mind that if there isn't anyone at the event
you are interested in you can circle no to everyone
and come back to another event for FREE!
