Tom Jaffee, the founder of 8 Minute Dating explains speed dating as “a fun and easy way to meet singles in person! You'll have 8 great dates in 1 fun night, and we GUARANTEE you'll meet someone you want to see again (90% do). Since 2001, we've hosted over 10,000 singles parties, with Success Stories galore!”
Speed Dating does not need to be intimidating; in fact 8 Minute Dating encourages you to bring a friend or two. For some, bringing a friend can give them the extra support they may want if they feel hesitant at first. Signing up a friend can also be a great way to earn extra savings or a free coupon to an event. No worries though, if you come alone. You are our guests and we will make you feel right at home!
Here is how it works: 1) Friend us on Facebook (to find extra deals and offers) 2) Pre-Register on www.8minutedating.com 3) At the venue go on 8 mini dates (conversations). During intermission and after your 8th date you can mingle with anyone else that may have caught your eye. 4) When you meet someone you want to see again, write their name on the “dating card” given to you. 5) After the event (and this is important) login to 8minute dating.com and enter the names of the singles you would like to meet again for either dating, friendship or business 6) When two people enter each person’s name, we provide information so you can arrange a 2nd date.
8 Minute Dating keeps everything confidential and asks that in order to keep conversations comfortable and safe that participants do not ask each other for contact information.
Our next event will be held on Wednesday April 27th at 7:30pm at In-Laws Restaurant in Gurnee, IL for 25-35 and 35-45 year olds. You must pre-register at www.8minutedating.com.
