Questions about speed dating & dating events

What is speed dating?

Speed dating is a way to meet several people at one event through a series of short, face-to-face conversations. Traditional events follow a fixed rotation, so you typically meet everyone in your dating group. CitySwoon takes a different approach: your dates are individually selected from the crowd based on compatibility.

How is CitySwoon different?

At a CitySwoon event with 50 people, for example, you will meet eight people who are matched to you. After each date, you enter private feedback, which is used straight away to help choose your next dates. This means your matches adapt as the evening unfolds, giving you more opportunities to find a connection.

Can I come on my own?

Yes, of course, many people come on their own. Our hosts will welcome you and help you get started.

What happens after the event?

The events are really fun! People usually stick around and chat after the dating. The next day, you can log into CitySwoon and message your mutual matches. Your phone number and email address aren’t shared, so you can get to know someone before exchanging contact details.
