Frequency Dates FAQ

Q: What is speed dating?

A: You can think of speed dating as part blind date, part musical chairs. At a Frequency Dates event you experience up to fifteen 'mini-dates', which are really seven-minute, one-to-one conversations, separated by a change of seats when you hear the signal.

Q:What happens when I arrive at a Frequency Dates event?

A: You check-in and pick up your Frequency Dates date card and name badge (which displays your first name only). Take a few minutes to mingle and buy refreshments. A signal sounds at the designated start time and you're given a seat across from your first 'date'. On the back of your date card, there's a list of easy 'starter' questions, should you need a little help breaking the ice. A signal indicates the end of each 'date', at which time you take a moment to choose 'yes' or 'no' next to that person's name on your report card, indicating whether you'd like to date them again. There's a half-time intermission, during which you can get more refreshments, mingle, and possibly win one of our prize drawings. At the end, you leave your report card with an event coordinator. We email contact info to you for mutual matches. (If the attraction isn't mutual, your contact information is never given out.) From there, it's up to the two of you!

Q: Does Frequency Dates guarantee I will find a 'match'?

A: No. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee chemistry. However if it's your first event and you do not have at least one "mutual match" (where you and another person both choose to see each other again) then Frequency Dates will give you free admission to one of our upcoming speed dating events.

Q: What happens if I need to cancel after I've registered?
