How
do I Pay?
By far the easiest way to pay for your Romancing Speed Dating event
is to use your credit/debit card online. We use the Paypal
(click
here to find out more about Paypal)
online payment
system, which is both secure and easy to use. Once you have paid you will
receive email confirmation of your purchase.
What
do I wear?
We do not have a specific dress code. This is not a fashion show. First
impressions count for a lot, however if you give a first impression that
is miles away from the real you, your future dates with those you meet
have little chance of success. Wear what you feel comfortable in.
What
is the format for a Speed Dating event?
See our
How it Works page
How
long do the events last?
With a break our events tend to last 2/3 hours depending on numbers.
Most people tend to stay after the event for a few drinks and socialize
with their new Romancing friends.
How
many dates will I get?
You will get between 10 and 25 dates at a Romancing Dating event
depending on response and of course location. We tend to prefer small
intimate locations such as the 4DQ Bar in Taunton where the numbers will
range from 10 and 15 dates.
Will
the numbers of Girls and Boy's be equal?
We work very hard to make sure the numbers of male and female participants
are equal or almost equal. Although we can never guarantee this.
How
long do I get with each date?
You will get 3 - 5
minutes with each date. Basically if the numbers are high you'll be
looking at 3 minutes and if low 5 minutes
Do
I get time between dates to use my scorecard?
Yes - but not too long! You only need note down the name of the person
their reference number and a yes or a no beside their name. We ask you to
write these details after each date (should take less than a minute) so as
not to cause you any embarrassment. Some Speed Dating companies ask you to
tick a box if you want to see someone again - imagine how uncomfortable
you will feel not writing anything after a date, your date will know you
don't like them if you do nothing. The Romancing way means that
everyone has to make a note after each date and thus avoiding embarrassment
on either side.
Can
I bring a friend for moral support?
Yes of course, although they will have to wait in the bar area once the
Dating starts. We've seen instances of friends giving marks out of
10, thumbs up or down, etc from the sidelines and causing a great deal of
offence to other Daters. At Romancing we want everyone to
have a great evening in as much privacy as possible. You can of course
rejoin your friend during the break or at the end of the evening.
How
many people come on their own?
We have found 75% of our Romancing Daters come on their own.
However if you'd like to bring a friend, you are more than welcome. Quite
often friends join in, if there are any spare tickets available for the
event.
What
kind of people go speed dating?
Typically our
Romancing Daters are busy people that simply don't have the time
to meet as many new friends as they would like. Our Daters are normal
people who are prepared to put themselves out to meet someone new.
Basically the kind of people you want to meet!
I'm
Just outside your age guide for an event can I still attend?
Yes, provided you are
aware that the majority of people will be aged within the age guide this
is not a problem. For example if you consider yourself a young 39 and the
age range is 25 - 35 then go for it.
How
many events can I attend?
You are welcome to
attend as many speed dating events as you like. Most people that attend
events are new to speed dating so you are unlikely to meet the same people
twice.
I'm
not going to be able to get to an event - can I send a friend in my place?
Of course you can,
provided they are the same sex as you this will not be a problem. Just
give them a copy of your booking confirmation to take with them.
What's
the Dress code?
We don't have a
specific dress code. We would always suggest that you wear what you feel
most comfortable in.
