Quick Dating Insights

We work hard to have the ideal number of people at each event and to balance the genders. Ensuring a good turnout and an equal number of men and women is critical to success. But sometimes things happen; attendees drop out last minute or without notice, so we offer credit as a good faith effort for a future event, if you don’t meet at least 5 opposite gender singles.

You'll generally meet 8 to 12 (and sometimes as many at 14) women or men at our events. It is rare, but if you attend an event and don't meet 5 people of the opposite gender, we'll give you a credit to attend a future event for free.

It’s only as stressful as you allow it to be. Come with an open mind and idea that you’re simply coming to make new friends.

Each HelloSingles® event is hosted by the company Founder, Alana Tyson.

We recommend smart casual attire. Dress to impress and choose something that makes you feel comfortable and confident.

We’re absolutely working on it! HelloSingles® is a minority-owned small business that just launched in 2025. We’re in the process of better understanding our customer base and market; as we grow we’ll be bringing a much more diverse mix of dating fun to the singles community we serve.

We want attendees to be comfortable with the age group they're "dating." A few years over or under is fine, but please choose a HelloSingles® event that generally fits your age range.

No. You must be either never married, divorced, or widowed. If you choose to register for an event you affirm that you are legally single and available and not otherwise “attached”. If you are separated, in an open relationship, or otherwise, you are NOT suitable to attend the event. No refunds or credits will be given after the event if you misrepresent yourself as single.

Anything you want! We have icebreaker questions if you get stuck, but people talk about hobbies, how they spend time off, or the area they live in. Relax and try not to be too serious, just have fun. Avoid mundane questions like "what do you do" as this gets repetitive. Consider not talking about an ex, or only about yourself. Differentiate yourself in a positive way. And if you’re sitting across from someone you're not attracted to, remember they still have a story to tell.

At the event you'll get a Match Sheet to select who you want to hear from again. Make a quick note to help you remember each person, and after the event, take a picture of it with your phone and hand it in to the Host. You'll be emailed within 24-48 hours. If you don't get an email within two days please contact us. EVERY Attendee is sent a Match Email even if they have zero matches.

Our events are in-person only.

Yes. HelloSingles® events operate off a guest list entry, so booking in advance is mandatory. This is necessary to ensure a balanced number of participants (e.g., an even ratio of men to women) and to confirm your spot. Events often sell out.

Most events, including a brief introduction and breaks, last approximately 1.5 to 2 hours.

Matches are processed after the event, usually within 24 hours. All attendees will receive an email notification of their match status, even if none were made at the event.  

We only share contact details (via email) if there is a mutual match (you liked them and they liked you). This protects the privacy of all participants.

We strongly advise against exchanging personal contact information (phone numbers, social media handles, etc.) during the speed dates. All contact information should be shared only through our secure matching process to maintain safety and privacy.

Absolutely, if they haven’t registered, they won’t be able to participate. But we’re all for moral support, let them come cheer you on.
