SPEED DATING
View Our EventsNot ready to attend? Get on the Raleigh/Durham singles list and get notified of upcoming events.
Safe, efficient, effective. The New York Times writes that people have to study 100 online profiles to make a potential match, but at speed dating most people like 2-3 out of ten people they meet. It's also in a safe, fun, friendly, no-pressure environment with no awkwardness. So much better using a speed dating company!
Raleigh has a unique singles life where daters are able to meet all kinds of singles. With tons of do and art and outdoor adventures, the area offers many parks, museums, and venues with a variety of events occuring throughout the year that singles can go to.
I was tired of apps and guys just wanting to hookup. I wanted to meet a nice guy and settle down, so I got a ticket to speed dating in Raleigh/Durham. And luckily I met my future Husband at this speeddating event! I loved how organized it was... and believe me, you can find true love here. Best $35 I've ever spent! Thank you soooo much!
