You’ll go on approx. ten 5-minute dates in private Break Out Rooms in the Zoom app. Your matches are based on the algorithm of our Speed Match Software.
But the fun doesn't stop there!
Our lively group conversation between each date provides the perfect opportunity to get to know all of the other attendees even better.
❤ We remove the obstacles to getting face-to-face with someone new and have a ton of fun doing it.

Lots of date matches *and* friend matches - come check it out!

❤ How Online Speed Dating Works:
📱 Using simple smartphone technology, we tailor the event to the age and “type” of person you’d like to meet. You tell us where your preferred date lies on the masculine-feminine expression spectrum, along with their age range. The algorithm determines the best matches possible, allowing for a more tailored experience than random, public speed dating.
💻 The fun all happens in Zoom Break Out Rooms, and after each 5-minute round, you add feedback about your date - Friend, Date, Business, or No Connection. The next day you’ll receive the contact info for your matches.
➡ All you need to join us is either a computer or tablet, with the Zoom app and an internet connection, and a smartphone. 💻📱
💞 If you’re frustrated with dating apps and want to meet real people in real-time, this event is for you! In this era of passive online dating and detached texting, we get you face-to-face, with real people for real conversations, real connections, and real 2nd dates.
