How Does A Speed Dating Event In San Francisco Work?

When you attend an event in San Francisco they first guide you to the event host at the venue. The speed dating event host will check their roster to make sure you listed as an attendee. Then they give you a badge with your name and number on the badge, as well as a match sheet where you write the name of each date and circle yes or no if you interested in them. You report to the table number with a sign on it that matches your number. Each date lasts 6 minutes. The women will stay seated when they ring a bell, while the men will rotate. Once you meet everybody you turn your sheet in!

Should I exchange information with a person at Pre-Dating Event in San Francisco?

Here are some recommendations if you are going to attend a Pre-Dating speed dating event in San Francisco:

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.
