How BriefDating Works

What is "BriefDating"?

BriefDating is an exciting, quick, safe, and non-pressured way to meet interesting singles. In one evening, you'll meet from 7 to 17 people, in two 1-hour rounds of 7 minute "dates." There will also be two open mingling times to meet even more people.

What are the advantages of BriefDating?

BriefDating includes 7 to 24 dates -- without the need for uncomfortable ice-breaking.
Get a sense that you "click" in a few minutes
Avoid uncomfortable 3-hour blind dates.
Safe and no pressure--you don't ask your dates out. Contact information is only sent if there is a two-way match.
Our events have a 60% to 80% two-way match rate!

How does BriefDating work?

Men and women come together at a designated location and are split into two age groups. Only a limited number of people can be accepted for each event, so be sure to register early!
There will be two 1-hour rounds of "brief dates," which last 5-7 minutes each.
At the appointed time, one man and one woman are paired up. To help make this a low pressure, fun event, you're not allowed to ask anyone for a date or for his or her contact information, such as phone number or e-mail address. Participants are also given a list of questions to get you started.
At the end of 7 minutes, a staff member rings a bell and all dates come to a halt. Participants are asked to write on a dating card if they would be interested in seeing this person again. This entails simply checking a 'yes' or 'no' box. The men then get up from their seats and move to the next table, where another woman is waiting to meet them.
After 2 1-hour rounds of BriefDating, each participant will have met from 7 to 14 people. There will also be two open mingling times (at the beginning and middle) for further encounters.
At the end of the event all of the dating cards are turned in. If both sides checked the 'yes' box, then there's a match! Organizers let participants know within 48 hours which matches have been made, and give each match the other's contact information, either a phone number, email address or both (by personal preference). Then, let the dating begin!

Can someone participate in BriefDating more than once?

Yes, we encourage it -- if you don't meet that special someone the first time around. There are approximately 80% new faces at each event. In addition, you may not meet all of the participants in any one event.
