PreDating Speed Dating

Peruse PreDating's online list of events in a town near you. If an event catches your eye, sign up online or fax in your registration. Phoning in your attendance is not recommended as an extra $5 fee applies for this service.

You'll then receive an email from the PreDating host giving you all of the necessary information for the event. It is recommended that you show up early to get your 'scorecard' and get settled.

At the speed dating event, you will meet a minimum of 10 other singles during six minute 'date'. After the 'date', you'll have a couple of minutes to write on your scorecard whether or not you'd like to get to know this person better before moving on to the next candidate.

Turn in your scorecard to the event host after the night finishes, and within a day you'll receive a response with a list of others that also wanted to meet you. PreDating states in their company literature that over "two-thirds" of their clients receive at least one match from each event.

PreDating offers a match guarantee: if you do not find at least one person you are interested in getting to know better after a speed dating event, PreDating will allow you to attend another speed dating event at no cost.

PreDating is also one of the oldest and largest speed dating companies in the U.S., setting up shop in 1991 and hosting more than four thousand people every month through 103 different venues. They are also the only speed dating company to cater to single professionals.

Event costs vary depending on the location and style of event. Fees normally include light appetizers and one cocktail, and some events also offer extra perks, such as admission after the event to the comedy club the speed dating was hosted in. On average, fees seem to range around the $30-40 USD mark for early registration and the $40-50 USD mark for all registrations after the early bird date.

PreDating takes credit cards or checks in the mail for payment, and attendees are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis.
