Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a SPEED DATING EVENT?
The concept of "speed dating" has been around for many years! The goal of these events is to help singles
have a chance to meet in a pleasant non-threatening, private environment.
Our events are held only in upscale restaurants which serve
excellent food, not loud bar room pubs.
How it works: Women stay at the same table all evening, while the men participants progress around the room to a different table meeting a new "date” every 7 minutes. At the sound of the "DING," each date ends and everyone marks their score sheet as to whether or not they'd like to follow-up with that particular person again. At the end of the evening, everyone turns in their score sheet. We will follow-up with you within 24 hours by email (or phone if you do not have email) to notify you of your “matches”.
In addition to those you meet one-on-one in your rotations, you'll have the opportunity to meet and mingle
with the other
participants before the event and after the event.
Additional Food and Drinks are available for purchase through the
venue and are at the participant's personal expense. (Please be advised that special events may have different pricing, structure
and inclusions).
What is the Age Groups for Events?
Group
A - Women 23- 34 / Men 25- 37
Group B - Women 35- 45 / Men 38- 48
Group C - Women 46- 56 / Men 49-58
Group D - Women 55- 65 / Men 59-69
Do you check (proof) for ages before the event?
I do not "proof" your age at
the door of the event. It is my own personal belief- that this is
embarrassing and not necessary for this type of event. My events are
fun, friendly and social. I trust someone will not lie to me
when they are asked their age when they register. If someone does
choose
to lie about their age, they are only "cheating"
themselves. No one wants to start a relationship based on a lie.
If it is brought to my attention by the participants, that you did
misrepresent your correct age, you will only be allowed to attend
another speed dating event that is appropriate for your age. This
rule applies to BOTH men and women.

How well can you get to know someone in 7 mins?
While it's obvious that 7 mins is not sufficient time to get to know someone in any great depth, your goal should be to
determine whether the person you are meeting, is someone that you would like to follow-up with and possibly see again.
Meeting someone face-to-face has some real advantages over on-line dating. Sometimes sparks really do fly with instant
chemistry! But at the very least, the shroud of unknown associated with the internet online is a not an
issue. Try concentrating on the questions* you ask and the observations you make of each person you meet. This will be the
most valuable way to making your assessment.
What happens if I don't receive any
matches at a Speed Dating event?
Within 24 hours following a Speed Dating event, we email or call all participants. We'll provide those with "matches" with their
first names only, assigned numbers and contact information. Anyone lacking "matches"
for whatever the reason, will be welcome to attend
another of our SPEED DATING events for at *half-price standard admission.
(* Single Mingles and other Special Events 1/2 price credit does
not apply)
What happens if I cancel, don't show up, or arrive
late at a Speed Dating event?
Our speed dating events rely on equal numbers of men and women to pair for each round of dates.
Out of consideration for the other participants,
please make every effort to attend and be on time. Please appreciate that last minute cancellations and "no shows"
impact others' participation.
Please be advised that just like any event ticket purchase, there are NO refunds or credits of any kind for a *No Show. Once your registration is confirmed and paid (your credit or debit card is charged or your check or money order received), your sale is final.
If you aren't able to attend an event for which your have registered and paid, out of consideration for others, please exercise the courtesy of letting us know ASAP. Ideally, the best solution is for you to pass along your admission to a friend of the same sex and within the event's stated age group so as not to throw off our balance of matches. If you are unable to send a replacement, we’ll attempt to replace you from a wait list (if there is one).
In the event that you cancel with 2 days prior notice for whatever reason to the scheduled event, we will allow you credit to reschedule to a future event.
*No Show - In the event that you do not show and do not call the venue to let us know that you are unable to attend, you will be charged full price to register to attend another event - absolutely no credit given.
What are the rules of a SPEED DATING event?
In order to keep the environment fun, low-pressure, comfortable and safe, participants must observe the following:
- Be respectful of yourself and others. You may NOT ask anyone for or give out contact information including a last name, phone number, email, address, or employer (not even a business card).
- You may NOT ask anyone directly out on a date. You may not ask any sexually explicit questions nor say or do (including gestures) anything that may be interpreted as being threatening or sexual harassing.
- You must represent yourself in an honest manner that includes not lying about your age before signing up for an event.
BBQ's, Single activity events, Single Mingles and
other types of events:
What is a DATE MATCH CARD, how
does it work?
In
addition to SPEED DATING events, 7 in-Heaven holds many different
kinds of events. These events are less structured and more activity
focused. However at our BBQ's, Single Mingle parties and other activity
based events, we still give you an opportunity to make connections.
If you see someone you would like to meet again at one of these
events, simply fill out a DATE MATCH CARD with your name and contact
information on the front of the card. Put the name of the person you
are interested in on the back of the card. Drop the card off at the
end of the event in the MATCH BOX. We will notify the person
you are interested in and let them know of your interest. AND if
your name is entered in the box, we let you know of the name of your
secret admirer!
Will a single woman feel comfortable if she
attends an event alone?
Attending a 7-in-Heaven speed dating or activity event is
a very comfortable format for single women to attend alone. I
encourage women to attend alone, as this is the best way to make NEW
friends both male and female. When you are busy entertaining your
"friend" you don't socialize with as many singles. If you
alert me when you arrive that you have come alone, I am always glad
to introduce you to those that have already arrived. Once a SPEED
DATING event begins, you will be so busy, you won't even have time
to notice you are alone! The choice is yours, come alone or come
with a friend but have fun either way.
Speed dating and Activity events allow you to meet face-to-face with age appropriate single men and women locally where you live and work.
Unlike internet online dating, you get to meet the girl or guy next door, not the online dater that lives 8,000 miles away from you. Percipients live or work in your area. And, we all know that if you're looking to find a successful relationship, statistically your chances for success are greater the closer to home you date. Also… We all know about how many MR. or MRS. Married-and- cheating are using the online dating sites these days as a way to meet unsuspecting singles. Emailing and talking on the phone while online dating, and not meeting in person, allows people to easily be something they are not. Here at our Single events you are meeting face-to-face with men and women that are serious about finding a quality date.
Unlike meeting at the laundry mat or grocery store or at work…. Everyone has the same agenda - single and looking to meet someone special!
The events make it easy to meet other singles. You don't need to worry about whether or not anyone will speak with you. At Speed Dating, there's no need to fear rejection because at the event no one is allowed to ask someone for a date.
Your whole evening isn't monopolized by someone who doesn't interest you like what might happen on those blind dates your friends set you up on!
How many times have you gone out with your friends to a crowded Restaurant/ Bar/ Happy hour and not met one single person in the course of the whole evening? Speed Dating and Activity Events are more efficient. In just one evening you'll meet between 7-10 dates instead of just one - saving you time and $'s.
It's fun!!! Sometimes Speed Dating reminds us a little of musical chairs for grown-ups. But in our grown-up version, no one loses or gets left out.
