FAQ
      General Questions:
  • How does Online Speed Dating work?
    • Login or register. Once you are at your homepage, you will see a list of upcoming relevant events for your area. You will also be able to search for more events in the Events page. Be sure to register for a session that suits your capability. We offer video, audio, or text only chat.
    • Online speed dating works exactly like regular speed dating, except that you never have to leave the comfort of your own home! Once you register for the event, you're ready to go.
    • Similarly to speed dating, you will be given a few minutes to chat with other participants. The difference is that you'll be chatting online – either via text chat, audio chat or live video chat using a webcam. During each date, you will be able to click YES or NO for the particular user. Be aware that if no option is selected, your choice will be assumed to be NO. Once the event ends, you are provided with the summary screen for all the users you matched up with. You will also have an option to select which contact information you would like to share with that particular user.

  • How do I report abuse?
    • We believe in the community moderated way of dealing with abusive users. If you see something, you can click the Report Abuse button on the top right of the chat window. Please include details on the misuse. The date will automatically end but be sure to wait for your next date. We will treat all abuse reports very seriously and will deal with abusers in an appropriate way.

  • How are dates set up?
    • Following the regular speed date model, we believe in the concept of randomness. There is no prescreening for our dates. We do ensure that once you had a complete date with someone, you will no longer see them in any future sessions.

  • How many dates will I have?
    • Depending on session parameters, you can have anywhere from 5 dates to 20 dates.

  • Can I end a date early?
    • One of the biggest benefits of Speed Dating is that you can have a date with someone totally random outside of your normal circle. They can be really funny or have a great personality. Due to respect for others, we do not permit ending dates early. After all, it would be rude if someone did it to you.

  • What happens after the match?
    • After you have matched up, it is up to you how to proceed. Don’t be shy! You’re able to communicate through our website, or can provide your email address, screen names or phone number if you feel comfortable. There is an option to choose a set of different contact details to share for each match. Private messaging through the site is always an option and is recommended. You can see the shared details of your match by looking on their profile.

  • I registered for a scheduled session, now what?
    • After you register, we recommend you come 10 minutes before session start. This gives you the necessary time to check all the hardware settings.

  • Is this safe?
    • As safe as any other date. Basically, the same rules apply to Online Speed Dating, as they would apply to other dating sites or meeting someone at a local bar. Trust your instincts. Meet in public places. Get to know each other before allowing yourself to be in an isolated situation. As long as you follow the rules of common sense, Online Speed Dating is as safe as anything else!

  • Where are the user profiles?
    • You don’t want you to be stuck reading long profiles! Let's be honest: most of them sound the same anyways. Our goal is to get away from browsing and get straight to the point - dating! Once you’ve matched up with someone, you will be able to see their profile and message them.
