Frequently Asked Questions
what can I expect coming to a speed dating event?
We have a dedicated page for this, right here!
Why is there a ‘friend’ option as well as ‘date’?
We encourage you to be brave and open-minded on the night, and to not be too conservative in your matching. If you’re at all interested in knowing a bit more about someone - choose the ‘Date’ option! (Don’t look for instant fireworks - that’s the exception not the rule, and you can’t know someone in 5 minutes…it’s simply an introduction). Take this opportunity to try and get as many dates as you can, because when else will you meet so many potential matches on one night?!
However, we do understand it can be intimidating for some to choose ‘Date’, and ‘Friend’ can feel like a more comfortable option. There are also instances where two people may have no romantic interest in each other but they’ve connected over something that they’d like to remain in contact for/be friends. Which is great!
So don’t knock the ‘Friend’! We’ve also had people match as friends who are now dating!
WHAT DETAILS WILL BE SHARED WITH ANY MATCHES I RECEIVE?
Your matches will receive your email address and phone number (if you have shared your phone number on your profile, which is not required). They will also be able to use the chat function on the dating software we use.
can i join a younger/older age category than my own?
If you are 2-3 years younger or older than the age category listed for an event but would still like to join, you’re welcome to chat to us. There may be another event in your own age category you can join, otherwise we are happy to give the 2-3 years grace for the event you’d like to attend.
I’m not a christian, can i still attend?
We do ask if you buy a ticket to attend, that you are genuinely serious about your relationship with God. Those who attend generally are wanting to date someone who shares their faith, so we ask that you respect this.
I am separated (not yet divorced), can I attend?
If you’re not officially divorced and still in the separation process, we kindly suggest you hold off attending one of our events. We understand every situation is different, but think it’s wise to get through this process, with plenty of time to heal, before beginning to date again. Thank you for your understanding and we pray for peace as you navigate this time.
What should i wear?
What would you wear to a dinner date? We suggest smart/casual at a minimum but feel free to dress up more! Wear whatever you’ll feel most yourself and most lovely in!
can you cater to my dietary requirements?
Please let us know if you have any allergies, as your safety is our priority. We offer a range of vegan, gluten and dairy free options but cannot cater to individual preferences such as keto, carnivore, paleo, Daniel’s Diet, FODMAP etc. Rest assured, there will be an amazing selection of home-cooked goodness and platters to keep you happy.
how often do you host events?
Currently there is no set schedule, as we feel things out. Roughly we aim to host two speed dating events for each age category, per year (in the Adelaide area). Eventually we’d like to host them more often and further afield, as well as other mingle events, so stay tuned.
I’m over 45 years old, are there any events for me?
We are desperately keen to host events for all age categories. We have attempted several times to run events for the 45-55 and 55-65 age groups, but unfortunately have only had interest from women, with not enough men to go ahead. We will continue working on this, and would love any help you can give in spreading the word and recruiting/encouraging along those lovely men, who ARE out there somewhere!
Is there any way I can help/get involved?
Absolutely! Find out all the ways here.
Where are the events held?
Currently our events are held at Coast and Vines Church in Willunga. We are working towards offering more events futher afield.
can you run an event in my town/city/state?
We’d love to expand to reach more people! If you have a lovely event space, think there’d be enough singles around your area, and would like to partner up with us to run an event in your area - let’s chat! You can fill out our contact form here.
