We've learned a few things from six years of running speed-dating events in New York City.  And also, you can get great information from our articles page - many of these are written by us (the owners or hosts), or by customers, so you know you're hearing this from people who know something about speed-dating

Today's comments on how to approach speed-dating comes from one of our hosts, and I think this sums it up nicely:

From Angela - speed-dating hosts for New York EasyDates - "I like to think a speed-date is the amuse-bouche to the actual date.  It is light, fun.  It should be enjoyed, not rushed through or forced.  But it does not take place of the meal itself—it functions as a precursor, a special treat to delight and tease, and most importantly, to indicate the possibilities of what is to come.  Relax in the experience, and before you know it, you will be enjoying the gathering of possibilities, meeting all sorts of interesting people from different walks of life.  What the future holds for those possibilities is almost impossible to determine, but the event, the evening, is about the possibilities, and the possibilities are delicious, and deserve to be savored."
