1. What is Speed Dating?

Let's face it, by now you know it takes meeting a number of people before you find someone you click with. But the problem is, how do you meet them in the first place? Sure there are ways--bars, blind dates, dating services, online, etc. But they all have their disadvantages and they take time...lots of it. What fun is it to wait around for someone to talk to you in a bar or when you're out and about? What fun is it to risk rejection over and over again striking up conversations with people you don't even know are single? What if the conversation goes well, what about the awkwardness afterwards with asking for phone numbers? With BL!NK Speed Dating, you meet up to 25 single professionals in less than 2 hours. Think of it as a series of "facilitated introductions" just like when you go to a party with a good host. Afterwards, if there's interest (you discreetly circle on your interest sheet who you would like to hear from again), you'll get an email with links to contact these event participants. There's no pressure, no rejection, no embarrassment and no games!

2. What do you mean by "single professionals"?

Our speed dating customers tell us they are looking for other singles who are in a trade or business that requires intellect, ethics, and strong character. This could mean highly educated individuals like doctors or lawyers or it could be subjective to mean people who conduct themselves in a professional manner in their lives and are skilled in their careers, independent of education. BL!NK Inc. does not discriminate and welcomes all those from various trades and professions.

3. How much time do I have to talk to someone?

Typically 3 minutes per person but depending upon attendance and other things you may have 5 minutes or as high as 7 minutes. We'll let you know how much time you have before we start the event.

4. 3 minutes doesn't seem like a lot of time; is it enough?

Remember, you're not on a date, you're on a PreDate! BL!NK Speed Dating is a great way to see if you'd be interested in a full date or just more conversation later. Sometimes 3 minutes is way too long, if you know what we mean. But in 3 minutes most people can tell if there's physical chemistry, if they like the way someone speaks, if the person is mature and intelligent, and if they want to know more. At which point they'd select YES on their Match Sheet that they would like to hear from that person again!

5. How will my matches contact me?

When you arrive you get your Match Sheet, where you will select, throughout the evening, who you would like to hear from again. After the event, match results will be emailed to each participant with links to those who would like to hear from YOU again. You can choose when to communicate and what personal information you would like to exchange!

6. How long does it take before I get my matches?

You will receive your Match Email within 24 hours. If you don't get an email within two days please contact us since EVERY Participant will get a Match Email from us.

7. How much does a BL!NK Speed Dating event cost?

Each event is priced differently but most events offer an additional discount when you register early. Specific interest events may charge more. 

8. I like it! I'm ready to sign up. Now what?

That's the simple part. Don't be shut out, simply click on the "Registration" tab on our Navigation Bar, accomplish the form, then click on the submit button for the event you want to attend now before the event fills up!

9. I wanted to register but it says the event is full, what do I do?

We're sorry! To ensure the best possible experience, each event has a maximum capacity and our system is programmed with this information. When the event fills up, the system does not permit any additional registrations for that event. However, we often add people from that event's Waiting List so we encourage you to sign up for that. The link will be shown only when the session you're interested in is full.

10. Can I sign up with a friend?

Naturally, in fact we encourage it. Sign up with two or three! However, each person needs to register separately so we can send each of your matches confidentially.
