If you’ve never tried speed dating
before, you’ll be amazed how fun, safe, and easy it is. Here’s a quick look at
what to expect.
First, you register by calling
424-DATE. You’ll receive confirmation by phone or e-mail for the event you’d
like to attend. If you have any question or apprehensions, you can call or
e-mail and our staff will be pleased to help out.

expect at an Edmonton Date Night event click
here.
When you arrive at the event, you’ll be
greeted by our friendly host. They’ll double check your registration information, and
answer any questions you might have.
Once everyone has arrived, there’ll be a
short mixer-game to break the ice. Then… the real fun begins! You’ll spend the
evening getting to know up to 12 interesting people. As you spend six minutes
with each of person, you can decide if they are someone you’d like to get to
know better. If two people indicate a mutual interest in spending more time
together, we let them know of their “match” and provide them with the
information to contact each other directly.
Remember,
nobody leaves an event with anyone else’s personal information. If two people
indicate a “match”, we’ll contact both within 48 hours, and they can make
arrangements to get to know each other even better.
If you still have questions, we have answers…
- Why should
I try Speed Dating? That’s easy to answer.
First of all it’s fun, safe and easy. You will meet a variety of people
that are all there for the same reason you are. Speed Dating isn’t like
internet dating or personal ads. At an Edmonton Date Night Speed Dating
event, you meet up close and in person. You know exactly who you are
speaking to-- they are there, in front of you. If you hit it off, you can
plan to see each other again. And if they’re not for you and you never want
to see them again, then you don’t have to! No pressure, and no time wasted
on a date that’s going nowhere.
- Is someone
there to greet us? Absolutely! It’s our job
to make you feel comfortable. We do our best and our customers tell us that
we are quite good at it. We will answer any questions you have, and keep
the event running smoothly. We love our job and it shows! If you have any
concerns in advance, just call or e-mail and we’ll make sure you are 100%
comfortable.
- What kinds
of people attend speed dating? All kinds of
people, really. For the most part, its people just like you!!! Usually
busy people who are tired of the Bar Scene and want a fun pro-active way to
meet new interesting, exciting people.
- How is it
organized? We arrange our groups of people by
age group. Look for the evening that matches your age. From time to time
we will also organize groups based on other common interests, like sports or
travel.
- How many
people will be at an event? We try to have
about 10-12 of each sex there, men and women. That makes for the best
chances of meeting someone, and with that number of participants the evening
will fly by!
- Why just 6
minutes per date? Researchers and experts
have determined that most people know within minutes – sometimes even
seconds – if they have a connection. From our experience, six minutes is
the perfect amount of time to get a solid impression of someone. Remember,
you are getting just a preview of someone in order to find out if you would
like to get to know each other better. Chemistry happens in the first few
minutes of meeting someone. If you both sense it, we can help you make
plans to spend quality time together.
- How do I
pay for an event? Pre-payment is needed to
register for an event. Please call us at 424-DATE and one of our friendly
staff will assist you. You can use Visa or Mastercard. Once you are
confirmed for an event, you are all set. A receipt will be given to you on
the night of your event. Pre-payment ensures that we have success at our
events and that people live up to their commitment to attend.
- What if I
need to cancel. We understand your life is
busy, and sometimes things “come up”. With that in mind, you can reschedule
as long as you provide at least 24 hours notice. You can choose another
event that suits your schedule. However, refunds cannot be offered. It is
important to ensure an equal number if participants. Not showing up is equal
to standing up 7-12 people and we take it quite seriously! If you are
registered and do not attend without a phone call at least 24 hours ahead of
time, you may not be permitted to attend future events.
- Can I come
to an event to watch? No, sorry. We try to
respect the privacy of all our guests. Wouldn't you want it that way for
yourself?
- How often
can I participate? You are welcome to attend
any night in your age bracket as often as you like. The more often you
attend, the more likely the chances of meeting the right person. Click

frequent guests.
- What if
someone is there that I have met before? Generally,
there will be different people at each event. However, sometimes you might
see someone that you have seen before. If this causes a problem, just let
our hostess know and she will look after it. After all, it’s your night and
we want you to feel as comfortable as possible.
- How long do
the evenings last? Generally 2 hours... give
or take... It depends how much fun we are having.
- What if
there are an uneven number of participants?
We try very hard to ensure there an equal number of participants. In the
rare case that it is not equal, our hostess will ensure the evening runs
smoothly.
- Will I
receive information other than "Matches" ? We
provide contact information only when both parties indicate a “match”. This
is to ensure the privacy and respect of our other participants. You can
tell us what contact information you would like us to share such as your
email address or your cell phone or home telephone number.
- What should
I wear? What would you normally wear on a
date? This is not a black tie affair, nor is it a ball game. Wear
something that you would make a good impression in and feel good in.
Remember, this is a first impression! For more speed dating tips,

- Can I
attend different age categories? We try to
overlap our age categories so that you will have the option of attending a
few different groups of people, e.g.: 25-38 and 30-45, Under 30, and Over 40.
This is so that every one will feel comfortable with the group that they are
in. In an effort to be fair to all the other participants, we make sure that
all parties are comfortable in the age group they are registered for.
- Why do you
need information from me? At the time of your
registration, our Account Manager will take your name, age, address and
email information from you. This is to ensure proper handling of payment
and gives us the contact information we need to get your Matches to you.
Please be ensured that all information we obtain is completely confidential.
We do not share, distribute, or sell your contact information to anyone!
- Can I come
with Friends? Absolutely. Bring
four
friends and you get to come for free. Date Night makes a great evening out
for the girls or guys!
