Dress in smart casual attire, something that makes you feel comfortable but presentable.Think of this like a first date or if you were going out for drinks with your ladies/boys.

How our Speed Dating works is participants aka daters rotate through short conversations (typically 3-7 min depending on attendance numbers of the specific event) with different potential matches. After each round, you indicate whether you'd like to stay in touch with the person on your digital scorecard.

Each mini-date usually lasts between 3 to 7 minutes, depending on the event format and amount of participants.

Most speed dating events are grouped by age, so be sure to check the event's age range before signing up. We use this age range as a recommendation so while we tend to keep things within an age group, if you are outside of the age group by up to two years then we ok with you participating in the event.

The number of participants varies but is typically between 20-50 people at each event.

After the event, you'll submit your preferences on your scorecard, and if there's a mutual interest from both parties, then we will share contact information for both parties digitally through our software to you in an email/text.

Usually, all you need is yourself. Proof of purchase for the event would help speed up the process (along with checking in for your scorecard prior to the event). In the event of an escalated situation, an ID may need to be presented.

It's always best to pre-register online for a ticket (on wingmanoftheyear.com or through Eventbrite directly) to ensure your spot, but some events may allow walk-ins if space permits.The sooner you lock in your space the better. Our events sell quickly.

Be open, practice good conversation skills, and prepare a few light-hearted questions to break the ice. At the end of the day, this is a low pressure environment and we want to help you create connections and make a lasting impact.

We start checking in an hour before each event. It's recommended to arrive 15-30 minutes early to check in, get settled, and relax before the event starts. We start our events promptly at the time listed (Usually 7pm).

Some events are tailored for heterosexual singles, while others are LGBTQ+ inclusive. Check the event details to know the audience. We make sure to provide opportunities for events of all kinds at Wingman Of The Year. DM us for more info.

Late arrivals might miss out on meeting some participants, as the rotation will have already started. We can add you in at certain points of the event but ideally you should arrive on time and only be late due to an emergency situation.

Most speed dating events include short breaks between rounds (60-90 seconds) but we also do a longer 10-15 min break halfway through the event.

We want to encourage you to check our reviews for details about past events and attendee feedback. We have been in business for over five years and we have a wide range of experience in the dating industry. We also create online dating shows and interview-based series about relationships etc.

We love to tell people how our events are low-pressure and that you get to meet a variety of new people! Everyone is all feeling the same way as you so that helps ease the tension you may have prior to the event.

You only need to share what you're comfortable with. Most events only require basic introductions like name and hobbies.We never share any of your information with other daters unless you equally match with someone else after the event.

Contact details are only exchanged if both parties express mutual interest, so there's no pressure or awkward rejection. We do ask to not reach out to individuals without their consent after one of our events. We truly focus on providing safe and fun environments for everyone.

Events are usually private, with only attendees and organizers present. Some events may have photography or social media coverage, but you can often opt out if you'd prefer anonymity. The comfort of our participants is our main priority.

It can happen, especially in smaller communities. Just treat it like any other interaction; you might even use it to break the ice. If the person you already know is in a negative situation, please let us know immediately and we will resolve the issue on a case by case basis.

Some attendees come to broaden their social circles, and speed dating can be a fun way to meet new people even if you're not actively looking for a relationship. At the end of the day, you make your Speed Dating experience what is best for you. The key is to relay that transparency to other daters.

The organizer typically facilitates the event, providing instructions on when to rotate and who to speak to next. Your mobile score card will also relay the information on your smartphone on where to go next (we place table top numbers on each table).

Most events encourage participants to speak with everyone, but if you feel uncomfortable for any reason, please let us know and we will make accommodations accordingly. You are also allowed to go to the restroom during the event if needed although we always recommend doing so before the event/break.

We do allow guests to attend for moral support (if they are not participating in the event), but they would not be present at the table during the speed dating portion of the event if so. They can hang out in our designated “bullpen area” or at the bar as well. There is plenty of time to interact.

It's best to ask light, open-ended questions to keep the conversation flowing. Focus on hobbies, interests, and fun topics to get to know the other person quickly. Overall just trust your gut and be yourself! If you ever need assistance one of our Wingmen are always down to help you out!

Most speed dating events don’t provide individual feedback, but some may offer tips or advice if you request it from the organizers afterward.
