Ready for a little romance? Join us for one of our monthly Speed Dating events at the Landing. It is a safe and secure way to meet new people. You will have a great time... and who knows you might just meet that someone special.

Rules of the Game
The rules of speed dating are quite simple. A group of singles gathers at the Landing at Fort Harrison. Armed with a name tag, a scorecard and their sparkling personality, couples are paired up to begin their first date. They are allowed to discuss anything, except their careers, or where the live.

Following five minutes of conversation, the MC will let you know to change seats, and the greater number of the same gender (usually women) move on to meet their next date. Think of it as a flirt's version of musical chairs.

Following each date, participants mark on a card whether they would have an interest in meeting their date again. If a mutual interest is noted, speed-dating organizers provide each party with the others phone number.

But Does Speed Dating Work?
Speed dating has proven to be fairly successful, with approximately half of all participants coming away with a potential match.

Check In:
Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before the official start time to sign-in and mingle. If you have preregistered online please have your confirmation printed and bring it to the event. We will begin promptly at 7:00pm.

Waiting to Speed Date:
To ensure an even balance of men and women, the greater number of the same gender will be asked to rotate from table to table. Feel free to mix and mingle with the other participants while you wait to move back into rotation. It is your responsibility to keep track of your place in the rotation.

The Big Event!
At each event, there will be an unequal number of men and women. We facilitate the whole thing so you are guaranteed to meet everyone. We will give each participant a Welcome Pack, including a name tag (with your first name and a number only) and Score Card. The Oasis bar will be available for soft drinks or something stiffer (please drink responsibly).

We will review the Ground Rules a few minutes before the start time…you do not disclose your last name, where you live or work, phone number, etc. Nor do you ask someone out during the event itself…no pressure!

It's a Match! (or two, or three, or more...)
After the event, we will compile the information from everyone's Score Cards to determine who matches up. If two people mutually checked “YES,” then that's a match (odds are you'll have one or more matches). You'll receive a private e-mail within three days of the event listing the first names and e-mail addresses or phone numbers of the people you matched with. From there, it's up to you to contact one another to learn more about each other and set up another date.

Cost = $15 at the door.  Online registration no longer available.
