Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between speed dating and a blind date event in New York?

They are two formats of the same kind of event: a hosted singles night where you meet several new people in a few hours. Speed dating rotates short one-on-one chats on a timer. Blind date events often mix icebreaker games with one-on-one or small-group rounds, and you usually don't know who you'll be paired with until you arrive. Hosts can list either format on Event Flo, and the singles events page for New York is for the same crowd.

Is speed dating in New York worth it?

It works best as a way to meet several people in one evening; a match is never guaranteed. You get a few minutes with each person, then say who you'd like to see again, and many organizers share contact details only when both people say yes. Before you book, check who is hosting, what the ticket includes and whether guests are verified. On Event Flo, hosts of public events verify their government ID, guest ID checks are on by default, and the host can approve each sign-up. A private event can go live before its host is verified.

Where can I find speed dating events in New York?

Event Flo lists verified speed dating events in New York at event-flo.com/find. Hosts verify their government ID before a public or members-only event is published, and guest ID verification is on by default, so a guest who signs up through the event page is confirmed only after their ID is verified. A private event can go live before its host is verified.

Are speed dating events in New York safe?

Every event listed on Event Flo runs an ID-verified guest list by default (hosts can turn it off per event). Hosts blacklist bad actors, guests review events afterwards, and there are no anonymous RSVPs when verification is on. Safety is the core product.

How much do speed dating events in New York cost on Event Flo?

Most events are free to discover and many are free to attend. When hosts charge for tickets, Event Flo takes 0% platform fees — the host keeps 100% of ticket revenue.
