OnSpeedDating

I met my boyfriend of now almost 4 years at one of these events, it was a 20s speed dating. I wasn’t drawn to him immediately, we didn’t have a great first date, but because I gave it a second chance, here we are years later! The event was great, the only thing I would say is I wish there was a break halfway through to get another drink (it’s a lot of talking!) and mingle for maybe 10 minute break. Mingling before and after was important, I felt. And my now boyfriend caught me on my way out (he had stationed himself talking to another girl by the door and said «you’re leaving already?»), and that’s the reason we were a «match» in the first place.
We both had friends who ditched out on us respectively last minute, and I would definitely recommend actually going by yourself, not with a friend, since it can be distracting to have a friend nearby, and intimidating to guys to feel judged by friends, too. It’s only 3 minutes!!!
Definitely recommend trying this out and also giving people a shot more than 3 minutes, first impressions are not everything, so if you’re remotely interested, it’s worth a date (or two!). It was definitely worth it for us, we are still going strong!

If i didnt already meet someone at the event i would definitely do it again. It was so efficient and fun, it would have cost me a fortune to date 15 women and the ability to meet so many in one evening was really helpful. I dont have time to go out often so onspeeddating was perfect for me. The bar was a little noisy but getting to meet so many charming ladies in one night was well worth it I’m amazed at the quality of single ladies i got to meet.

Fun night. The men were short and beta males, but it was still a fun night out.

recently built up the courage to go to the one of their events, went to beauty and the geek and felt it was very cute, very well organized and had a decent amount of guys and gals come out! i will definitely be going to their other events and look forward to perhaps finding the right one! definitely made me feel more comfortable, staff as friendly and they pick decent spots to host events with creative titles and mixes of people

This is fun. You get to meet a lot of different people in short increments of time– which is just enough to feel if there is something there worth following up on. And there is no pressure to exchange information. That is done when you log back into the event’s web page and have the opportunity to share or not share your contact info.

I love that OnSpeed Dating has different themed singles events all over the city. From Skinny Minny to people who love to travel to ivy leaguers, there’s something for everyone, and more importantly, someONE for everyone. Online dating is a crap shoot and who doesn’t really prefer to meet someone in real life? With OnSpeed Dating, you do just that, which is what I love about it. And if one particular event doesn’t produce a match, another one’s always around the corner. At the very least, you’ll have a fun night and/​or a good story, so I definitely recommend OnSpeed Dating.

These single events are always fun and interesting and at good bars and lounges throughout NYC.

Great alternative to online dating! If you have a specific type of partner in mind, they offer events that can guarantee those types of matches will attend. The events are well organized and executed. They give you a pencil and paper for notes, then you hop online afterward to set the preferences you liked. Modern-​day speed dating!

Some feel that speed dating has some obvious advantages over most other venues for meeting people, such as bars
know more

So far I’ve only attended one event and although I didn’t have a match, it was a good experience, I met some cool people. I suggest people hang out afterwards to talk at the Bar.

I have gone to quite a few OnSpeedDating events, and have found each of them to be interesting, exciting and fun. There are a plethora of speed dating events, «Rescue Me» firefighters singles parties and more. All the hosts are wonderful and friendly.
The speed dating events have unique and creative themes such as «Beauty and the Geek,» «Asian Persuasion.» I always have a good time, even if I don’t get matched up.
The singles parties are great because they always start with a icebreaker so it becomes very easy to meet new people.
I would definitely recommend trying out one of the OnSpeedDating events. You’ll have a blast!

I highly recommend OnSpeedDating. While I have not found my «dream» man yet, I have had a lot of fun attending their events. They have a variety of different speed dating themed events (i.e. Hot or Not, Men with Accents are Hot). Also, do not be shy to go to these events alone. The hosts are always so welcoming and many other participants come solo too. Go to an OnSpeedDating event; you will not regret it!

The events hosted by OnSpeedDating are great. The venues chosen allow the perfect atmosphere. What I like best is the wide variety in guys that have come to the events and the specialized events to pick and choose what matches your style best. I have gone a few times and have not had the same guys. In addition, the guys there seem to really want to be dating and do follow up. The hosts are great and add to the vibe of the experience. In addition, Amber who runs the program really does want the best for the individuals and you never get the feeling they are out for money but rather it actually help you find what could be the perfect match!

The singles scene can get a little stale and boring. There are only so many hours I can spend on OkCupid, Match or at a bar searching for a mate.
Thankfully, I stumbled upon an advert for a «Rescue Me» Firefighters singles party and had one of the best nights of my life! I went with a girlfriend and we had a blast meeting all the single firemen and trying out cheezy, pick-​up lines on them. Everyone had a great time and some of the guys even invited us to go out after the party, but alas it was a work night (why can’t these events be on Fridays?!?). After that I was hooked.
From the speed dating events to the singles parties, I’ve never had more fun being single. It’s hard to judge a person online, so what I like about these events is that you get to meet people face to face. With speed dating I pretty much know in the first three minutes whether there is something there worth exploring. In one night I can check ten men off of my list or circle three men that I would like to get to know more. My one recommendation is to plan on sticking around after the speed dating event. It’s usually at a bar so afterwards if there is someone you want to get to know better, you can saddle up to the bar for longer chat. If you’ve never speed dated before, don’t worry. The organizers will walk you through it and they are super nice.
The singles parties are huge and great if you are looking for something less formal. It’s refreshing to go to a party where you know everyone is single and actually looking. I went with a wingwoman to the parties and I think it takes the pressure off, so we talked to more guys and it wasn’t so intimidating. I even met a lovely bloke! ;)
Overall, I recommend you get offline and try out one of their events. From Rescue Me to Size Matters to Have Passport, Will Travel there is something for every proclivity.

I had the absolute best time speed dating for the 1^st time! 15 –3 minute dates in one night. Although the even started 30 minutes late, this was not the organization’s fault. They inform you to come in 15 mins. early to register. It was extremely organized and I’ve also received an email confirmation before the event.
You most likely will not meet the love of your life the 1^st time. Very lucky if you do. But I did not regret going since I’ve met a bunch of very interesting people.
Their themes are like no other and also pretty hilarious. This is a really good experience and to me, better than online dating because at least you don’t get catfished!
Highly recommended

In my experience, this organization runs exceptionally fun events and attracts a good crowd (smart, pleasant and attractive). I have been to their singles parties and also speed dating events. The themes are creative — sometimes to the point of mischief — which I admire.
Tip: Get to the speed dating events early, so you can mix with folks ahead of time. This is helpful as 3 minutes per person during speed-​dating is not always adequate (although quite often it is!).
Note: Sometimes they advertise «3^rd party» events — events run by other singles groups — and these can be a little more hit or miss because they are not within direct control of Amber who runs this group. Amber always advises us as to whether any particular event is run by her group or a third party, and you can decide on that basis. There is a lot of cross-​marketing these days among groups and overall I think it serves the audience well.

Brought this deal cause of a friend. They did have some funny and interesting events for personal interest such as firemen, policemen, certain age groups and ethnic groups. I did the 20 something event which I actually enjoyed and met some interesting and decent looking guys who were ages 25 – 29. You will have a mix of people from New York, out of state and country working here permanently or temporary and of course you will meet some guys that are a bit weird. The only problem as with any speed dating event is that you have to talk in a short period of time so that gets tiring. If you do find someone you liked, I would suggest talking to them after the event is over as going on the site they give you is not always certain you will get to talk to them again. I did go on two dates, unfortunately they did not go well, but this was an interesting experience and I would recommend it!

This is by far one of the best single events I ever went to!!! As a single guy, I well enjoed so many attractive and in beutiful looking women. But most important, women I spoke to, were highly inteligent and well rounded which made this event even more attractive! I strongly recommend any single guy sign up for these event If you are looking more than just outer women’s beuty. By the way I met very nice and attractive lady and things going really well so far… So you can wish me good luck:)

Speed dating is designed to get you to meet a lot of people quickly. You still won’t like most of the people you meet, but at each of the events I’ve been to, I’ve found at least one person worth getting to know, and to me, that’s an hour well spent. OSD does a great job at producing creative events and making its customers happy.

OnSpeedDating is the best speed dating service i’ve found in NYC so far. They have really cool events like speed date NY fireman, NY laywers and former NY governors and only run $ 25.00. The girls are actually attractive, wherein they actually walk upright without dragging their knuckles.
The only thing is that it’s rather difficult holding a speed dating event in Apt 5-​K, and it’s a walk-​up. So by the time you walk up there, you are sweaty and hot. But seeing the people there, you will get even more sweaty and hot. Or should I say HAWT??? Popped collars and Old Spice cologne galore!
Good people, good drinks. Good times! Highly recommend to any single girl or guy in NYC! I actually met some quality people that were, get this… employed and not 5’7 rounding up to 6’0″!
