How long is a speed date in Pre-Dating Speed Dating in Raleigh/Durham?

Our company has perfected the time for speed dating at 6 minutes. There were companies that had speed dating events with 3 minute dates. People felt it was too fast. They also had speed dating at 8 minutes. That was too long. Pre-Dating Speed Dating in Raleigh/Durham at 6 minutes is just right!

What to wear to a speed dating event?

You can't go wrong dressing up for a speed dating event in Raleigh/Durham. The most important thing is appearing to be well dressed and ready to move around if you are a guy. If you are a woman, you typically will be sitting for most of the dates and not moving around. Dress professionally and make sure you are looking great, for that first impression!

You are welcome to bring a friend who is not attending to support you during your speed dating event in Raleigh/Durham. Often speed daters have friends waiting for them at the bar or nearby to give them more support!

What if I do not pick anybody to date at the speed dating event in Raleigh/Durham?

Pre-Dating Speed Dating is different than the other speed dating companies. Even if you don't pick anybody, because nobody seemed to be right for you, we still send you a list of people who chose you. You don't have to have a mutual match to find out who likes you at our speed dating events in Raleigh/Durham.

What happens next after a speed dating event in Raleigh/Durham?

Pre-Dating speed dating ends with all our participants turning in their match sheets. Our company does not rely on all the participants logging in to find out who likes you. Within 24 hours you find out who has chosen you, and they find out who you have chosen. It's up to you to take the next steps!

Should I exchange information with a person at Pre-Dating Event in Raleigh/Durham?

We actually frown on exchanging information at the actual event. If a person likes you, you will find out and get their information via text and email. If you decide you really don't like this person, they already have your personal information, so don't easily give out your cell and email address.

Here are some recommendations if you are going to attend a Pre-Dating speed dating event in Raleigh/Durham:

  • Always try to arrive early and prepare to socialize: By introducing yourself to as many people as possible before the event officially starts, you will make a great impression.
  • Dress to impress: Making sure you are dressed up appropriately, and put effort into your appearance to make a strong first impression is always a plus.
  • Try to be authentic and engaging: Try to ask different questions. Don't just ask about jobs or where people live. Be yourself. Some suggest asking funny or nonsensical questions to break the ice and see if you have chemistry.
  • Ask questions and listen to your date: Try to pay attention to your date's answers and ask follow-up questions. This shows genuine interest and makes you stand out.
  • Flirt and compliment: If you are not good at flirting, try to flirt a little and say something nice to people. Don't be afraid to flirt and offer a genuine compliment to show your interest.
  • Avoid controversial topics: Stay away from subjects like politics or religion. Stick to lighter topics like hobbies and interests.
  • Keep alcohol drinking to a minimum: Have a drink to relax, but keep a number in your mind of when to stop. Do not get drunk. People can tell you are drunk and they will be less interested in you.
  • Stay and socialize: The people who stay after the event ends tend to have more success. While you may have already turned your sheet in, sometimes people change the choices after the event once they have had a chance to get to know you.
  • Follow up strategically: Don't get bogged down in endless messages with your dates. The best answer is to suggest a short phone call and arrange a low-key, fun activity for a first date.
