Everything you need to know about speed dating with DateDash
Speed dating is a fun, efficient way to meet multiple singles in one evening. You'll have 6-minute conversations with each person before rotating. At the end, you mark who you'd like to see again — if they mark you too, it's a match!
1. Book your spot on our website. 2. Attend a fun, safe event in Cork. 3. Chat for 6 minutes with each person. 4. Match via your dashboard the next day. 5. Connect in private 24-hour chats.
Yes! All participants are verified via email and 2FA. Events are held in licensed, public venues with staff present. We never share full names or contact info. Chats auto-delete after 24 hours. Report any concerns instantly via the app or to [email protected].
Dress smart-casual — something you'd wear on a first date. Be comfortable, be yourself! Avoid strong scents and anything too revealing. A smile is your best accessory.
Absolutely! Many people come with a wingman/wingwoman for moral support. Just make sure you both register separately. Friends are seated at different tables to maximize new connections.
No worries! Not every event leads to a match — it's about the experience. 84% of attendees report having fun regardless. Plus, you get access to future events and our community.
It's mutual! During the event, you mark "Yes" or "No" for each person on your DataeDash Card. If both say "Yes", it's a match! You'll both get notified and can chat for 24 hours.
