Speed Dating FAQ

Why is speed better than online dating?

Speed ​​dating is a very time-efficient method of dating. With online dating, you spend a lot of time writing messages before a real date comes. And only then you get to see how a person really looks like, hear the color of voice, be able to analyze facial expressions and body language. At speed dating, you immediately know what you're up to. In addition at a speed dating event, in the time normally required for a date with just one person, you will meet more than 10 new singles.

How should I prepare for speed dating?

No special preparation is required. It depends on each individual how they want to approach speed dating. But it's definitely not out of the question to focus on your appearance - wear some nice clothes, go to hairdresser before. Someone people might also feel more confident if they have a few coversation topics ready up their sleeve. Check out our tip What to Talk About on Speed Dating

I don't like the nickname, could I change it?

The nicknames are assigned automatically and cannot be therefore changed upon request. The nickname is not representative of you, as a person. Same rule applies to everyone and certainly nobody will hold your nickname against you. Neither will it influence your success rate at speed dating. And don't worry, you are in a good company. All nicknames are names of superheroes and superheroines from movies and comics. At our speed dating, you will find among others Superman, Batman, Thor, Spiderman or Hulk. From the female heroines you can meet Catwoman, Trinity, Wonder Woman, Indigo or Xena. Nothing prevents you from introducing yourself with your real name at speed dating and you can as well use your superhero nickname as a conversation starter.

How often are speed dating events organized?

Speed dating events are organized by agency Rande Motýl (Date Butterfly) approximately once a month for a given age group and type category. We are offering speed dating events in Prague and Brno.

The speed dating event that I want to register for is full.

Even if the speed dating event is marked as full, it is possible that a place will become available. It can happen that some of the participants will cancel their speed dating reservation, or that some of the participants will not deposit the payment fee within the specified deadline. In this case, you have the option to add yourself to the speed dating waiting list. Adding yourself to the waiting list is not binding and you don't pay anything for it. Only at the moment when space at the speed dating event becomes available and you will receive the reservation email, you should expedite the payment. Of course, the place might not become available or there might be more people before you on the waiting list.

Therefore, we recommend to also reserve next available speed dating event. It is not problem to move the already paid fee to the sooner event, if ultimately a space does become available.

Can I register for speed dating of a different age category?

The offered age categories are only indicative, although we also have speed dating categories, where we require strict adherence to the age limits. Couple of years here or there (meaning 1 - 2 years) does not usually make a difference, it is more important how much others are guessing you. Nevertheless, don't sign up for speed dating if your age difference is too big. Currently we are offering many different speed dating categories, so almost everyone should be able to pick.

How can I pay for the speed dating event if I don't own a bank account in Czech Republic?

In special cases, after a prior agreement, it is feasible to arrange payment at the place of the speed dating event. However, this option is possible only in exceptional instances and it is up to our discretion if we allow it.

Even without having a bank account in Czech republic, you can still pay in cash at any bank or post office and credit the money to our account. See the payment options for detail on how to make payment for the speed dating event.

For how many speed dating events can I register?
