Frequently Asked Questions about speed dating

Q. Will I meet new people at each event?

A. While we can't guarantee that ALL participants will be new, we will not register you for an event where there are two or more people whom you have previously met.

Q. When are the events held?

A. Our guests have busy working lives so we incorporated most Be Mine Speed Dating events on a Saturday evening. If you have any suggestion on another day, please let us know.

Q. What time do the events begin and end?

A. All our events begin at 7pm or 7:30 pm and end between 9 - 10 pm depending on the event. Have a look at our events for details. After the event you receive free entry to Strutters nightclub where you can continue your night out.

Q. Can I sign up with a friend?

A. Yes you can, just visit the events page and follow the step-by-step instructions. You and your buddies will be invited to the same event, so please try and make sure you're all of a similar age.

Q. Are there always equal numbers of men and women at these events?

A. We register an equal number of men and women for all our events. Of course, should someone not show at the last minute (man or woman), there would be a very slight unequal number ... but we've got a great track record for attendance so far. Men and women on a waiting list for events are also often happy to fill in on short notice.

Q. How soon after registering will I be sent my invitation?

A. We wait until enough compatible people have registered before creating a party. Once a suitable party has been created we will e-mail, fax or phone you an invitation - usually within 2 weeks of registering. If you are not able to make it on the day indicated, don't worry, just let us know and you will automatically be invited to the next suitable event.

Q. How soon after the event will I receive my matches?

A. Matches are emailed, faxed or phoned to participants the next business day after the event.

Q. How will my matches contact me?

A. We'll provide your matches with the e-mail address or phone number you gave us for matches when you registered.

Q. Who calls Who?

A. We encourage both parties to call or e-mail each other. Remember, you already know the other person is interested in meeting you!

Q. What's the average match rate for an evening?

A. While each evening is unique and match rates vary, our average evening produces a match rate of 90.1%! Most people average around 3 matches per event.

Q. What if I need to cancel?
