Frequently
Asked Questions
Does BriefDating really work?
Yes, in
fact, BriefDating really does work. At each event you will
have from 7 to 14 "brief dates" plus two open mingling
times. At our events the two-way match rate ranges from 60 - 80%!
Is
BriefDating a dating service?
Well, you will meet a lot of single
people, and you'll most likely get
a lot of dates from the event, but it’s more just like
a fun night out. BriefDating events occur four times a year in
February, May, September and December.
Is
BriefDating just for Jewish people?
The original
"Speed Dating" concept was developed by a rabbi
for Jewish Singles. The concept worked so well that it is
now sweeping the nation and is available for everyone. Our
BriefDating events are open to all single people regardless
of religion or group affiliation.
What
happens if an event is full?
BriefDating events do tend to fill up
fast. If an event is full, please register
as a free member, and we'll notify you of upcoming events.
What
is the age range?
The age range at BriefDating events varies and is listed for each event.
Participants will usually be split into two age groups as attendance permits. There will
be opportunities for people in the two age groups to interact
during the event as well.
How
does BriefDating work?
You can read a detailed description of how
BriefDating works on our How
It Works page.
Are
there any rules at a BriefDating event?
To create a
safe, low pressure and enjoyable evening for everyone, there
are two rules you need to follow:
- You are not allowed to ask anyone for his/her contact
information. This includes their phone number, last name,
e-mail address, business card, or their address.
- You are not allowed to ask anyone if they would like to
have another date.
What
should I wear to a BriefDating event?
The dress
code for our events is "nice casual." Of course,
you always want to put your best foot forward.
Can
I have more than one match?
Absolutely!
If you check off several people that you would like to meet,
and they check you off as well, then you will have multiple
matches.
What
if I don’t get any matches?
Overall,
we have a very successful match rate, but remember in order
to make a “match,” both people have to be interested
in each other. Oftentimes people have had many people interested
in them, but they simply indicated that they weren’t
interested in those people, so there was no match. If that
happens, don't give up. The chance of matching at the next
event is very high!
How
do I sign up to attend a BriefDating event?
Since
BriefDating events fill up quickly (there are only spots for
50 women and 50 men at each event), we require that everyone
make a reservation and pre-payment to secure their spot. Reservations
are made online only.
You sign
up for a given event by first becoming a free member, enrolling
in that event, and then making your payment.
Can
I pay by check instead of a credit card?
Using
Paypal to pay by credit card is safe and secure. However,
if you want to pay by check instead, you can do so. Please
mail a check to the following address:
BriefDating
44 Burt Road
Westhampton, MA 01027
Please
note: your check must be received before the event. If
the event is only five days away or less, then you must pay
by credit card.
What
if I have to cancel?
In order
to have a successful event we require an even number of singles,
so when you register we consider that as your commitment to
attend the event. However, we understand that life sometimes
gets in the way of fun, so if you need to cancel we will issue
a full refund minus a $5 dollar service charge if you cancel
at least 3 days prior to the event. There is no refund if
cancellation is after that or you do not show up at the event.
Can
someone participate in BriefDating more than once?
Yes, we
encourage it -- if you don't meet that special someone the
first time around. We attract a majority of new faces
to each event. In addition, you may meet only a fraction of
the participants in any one event.
Can
I come with friends or should I come alone?
Either way works. But it’s a party, so the
more the merrier! Invite your friends by clicking

I
forgot my password. Can you tell me what it is?
No problem! Just
click here and enter your email address, and we'll email your
password to you immediately!
