How long is each mini date?

Can you really tell if you want to see someone again in such a short amount of time?
Well, you certainly aren't going to be picking out baby names (we hope not anyway!), but before the whistle blows you should be able to tell if they can string a sentence together to your liking, if they have a smile that makes you weak in the knees or if there is a vibe between you. It's just the right amount of time so you can feel out someone you may like but aren't stuck talking to someone you don't for too long!

Is HurryDate this speed dating thing I've heard so much about?
It sure is! But you’ve never speed dated quite like HurryDate! You are sure to leave a HurryDate party with your head spinning, your heart beating a mile a minute and a smile that lasts for days. It’s a wild ride and unlike any other night out after work you’ve had in a long time!

Are there any HurryDate success stories?
There sure are! On average, most people get at least one match out of HurryDate, lots of people see each other for awhile, many are dating seriously, and hundreds and hundreds are engaged or married! That just makes our day! But no matter what, you are bound to have a really fun night out…that’s how we define success! If you have a success story of your own,

What should I wear to a HurryDate party?
HurryDaters tend to dress casual, but are lookin’ good! Think about what you would wear on a first date to feel comfortable and good about yourself. You are going on lots of first dates after all! Some people come straight from work, so your work clothes with an extra primping in the mirror is just fine too. Guys, keep in mind that you will be the ones rotating around the room, so extra bags, jackets, etc. are not recommended.

Do you have any advice for the best way to HurryDate?
The best piece of advice we can give you about coming to a HurryDate party is JUST HAVE FUN! Occasionally we have seen HurryDaters treat each of their dates like a job interview…this is a definite DON’T! Rattling off your résumé in under three minutes isn’t the best way to gauge if you have a good rapport with someone. While easier said than done, if you take a deep breath, put a smile on your face and relax, you are going to have a great time and have the best chances of connecting with someone you really like.

I’m older/younger than the ages you state on your website. Can I still attend?
We don’t ID at HurryDate (although the venue may!) If you are older or younger than the age range for a particular party, that’s fine! Our party ages are actually just suggestions as most of the people that attend fall within this range. However, please note that this may affect the number of matches you receive as the other participants are most likely interested in meeting someone in this age range.

The HurryDates I want to RSVP for keeping selling out. What gives?
We know it’s SO very frustrating. We wish we can accommodate everyone, but sometimes our HurryDate parties sell out super quickly. Be sure to put yourself on the waiting list or standby list for any parties that are sold out (you can check the status of an event on the individual event detail page to find out if these options are available). Also, keep checking back to the website because sometimes spots open up at the last minute. We post new parties every 6-8 weeks so check out your city page frequently. Be sure you are signed up to receive the HurryDate Date Alert by clicking
here to stay up to speed on what the heck we are doing.

Where is my HurryDate party going to be held?
If the location of a HurryDate party you see listed on our website has not been posted you can keep checking back on your city page. After you RSVP, to attend a HurryDate you’ll be able to log-in to your homepage and see all the parties you are registered to attend and all the updated information about it. We’ll also be sending you a reminder e-mail a day or so before the event that will contain all kinds of important info.

I wanted to RSVP to an event I saw listed on your site previously. Where is it now?
If you no longer see an event on our website, it probably means the event was changed. Be sure to sign up in advance for an event so you can stay up to speed on any changes. If you are registered for an event that you no longer see on the website, it means the event was changed. Check your email for notifications of changes.

How can I be sure there will be an equal number of participants at the party?
HurryDate is based on certain numbers of participants. We watch those numbers carefully, so don't you worry, there will be plenty of matches to go around! Unfortunately we can’t tell you how many people are signed up for an event ahead of time, but come on down…you’ll have a blast!

I have RSVPed for a HurryDate, but it’s now sold out and I want my friend to come with me. Can you squeeze him/her in?
Unfortunately we can’t. But you should have your friend try to RSVP and then put his or her name on the “waiting list” or “standby list” if there are spots available. The “waiting list” will allow them to try to get members of the opposite sex to sign up for the same HurryDate party. If they do register in time, your friend will be able to participate. If they sign up for the “standby list” they will pay a small fee to take the chances that someone will not show up the night of the party. They’ll have to come on down to the event to see if there are any no-shows. They can also attend with you for moral support and just not participate. This way they will be able to hang out with you as you mingle before and after the HurryDating. If a spot becomes available, we can always put them into the fun. Unfortunately we won't be able to tell you ahead of time how many people are on the waiting list or standby list to tell you what their chances of getting in will be. Sorry!

How can I tell if there is room for me at a HurryDate party? Can I just show up that night?
We do require that you pre-register online to guarantee your spot at HurryDate. Simply click the RSVP button next to the HurryDate you would like to attend. If there is room at that party, you’ll then be asked to register. If the event is sold out, we’ll allow you to put your name on our special “waiting list” that will charge you if a spot opens up or the “standby list” which will allow you to pay a small fee to take your chances that someone won’t show up the night of the party. You’ll have to come on down to the party to find out if you can participate. You can also try your luck the night of the party by simply showing up and putting your name on the un-paid standby list. The pre-paid standbys will be allowed to participate first, but there’s still a good chance you’ll be able to participate if people don’t show up. Unfortunately we won't be able to tell you ahead of time how many people are on the waiting list or standby list to tell you what your chances of getting in will be. Sorry!

How does the Waiting List or Standby List work?
We do require that you pre-register online to guarantee your spot at HurryDate. Simply click the RSVP button next to the HurryDate you would like to attend. If there is room at that party, you’ll then be asked to register. If the event is sold out, we’ll allow you to put your name on our special “waiting list” that will charge you if a spot opens up or the “standby list” which will allow you to pay a small fee to take your chances that someone won’t show up the night of the party.

The website says I need to bring a member of the opposite sex to get in. My friend already signed up, so how can I get in now?
Unfortunately you’ll need to get a NEW friend of the opposite sex to sign up. We already counted your friend in the balance of men and women! At this point, unless you get a new friend to sign up, most likely you won’t be able to attend. If the event is currently sold out, we’ll allow you to put your name on our special “waiting list” that will charge you if a spot opens up or the “standby list” which will allow you to pay a small fee to take your chances that someone won’t show up the night of the party. You’ll have to come on down to the party to find out if you can participate. You can also try your luck the night of the party by simply showing up and putting your name on the un-paid standby list.

Why haven’t I received my free HurryDate from your Frequent Dater program?
Our Frequent Dater program is a nifty thing to let you come to HurryDate for free! After you have purchased three HurryDates, you get a fourth one...for FREE! Watch the counter on your personal homepage to see how many you have left to go. After you’ve participated in your third HurryDate, we’ll automatically email you with a code that’ll allow you to come to another one for free! That code will also appear on your Frequent Dater status page that you can access from your personal homepage after logging in. Please note: Your free Frequent Dater event will be issued to you after each third event that you attend. The free event will only be issued once this event has actually taken place. Only paid events qualify for the Frequent Dater Program. Free events or paid events that you attend complimentary, including those that are awarded free as a Frequent Dater reward, do not accrue towards Frequent Dater credit.

How can I delete my profile?
Why would you want to do that? Well, we hope it's because you met someone through HurryDate! Instead of deleting your profile why not hide it from view... that way you can come back at any time.
