1. How does the Palls speed dating event work?

Sign Up & Profile Submission – Participants register on the Palls website by filling out a short form with details like age, location, interests, and relationship goals. They also complete a questionnaire to help us find the most compatible matches.
Smart Matching – Our system categorizes participants into different compatibility tiers and assigns each person a series of dates, ensuring a balanced mix of strong and potential matches.
Event Check-in & Briefing – Upon arrival, participants check in and receive their match schedule. A brief introduction is given to explain how the event will flow.
Timed Mini-Dates – Participants engage in a series of short, one-on-one conversations with their assigned matches. After each round, they rotate to the next best compatible person.
Instant Feedback & Interest Selection – After each mini-date, participants mark whether they’d like to stay in touch with their match.
Post-Event Match Results – Within 1-2 days after the event, participants receive a summary of mutual matches via email, allowing them to connect and continue their conversations.

2. How long does the event last?

The event typically lasts 1.5 to 3 hours, including introductions, speed dating rounds, and breaks. Each conversation lasts about 15 minutes, giving you a chance to meet multiple people in one session.

3. How many people will I meet? Do I have to talk to everyone?

You’ll meet around 3-5 of the most compatible matches based on our smart matching system. The event is designed to provide a balance of variety and meaningful interactions. No, you will only talk to the matches assigned to you.

4. Is there an age limit?

Yes, our events are divided into specific age groups to ensure better compatibility. Check the event details before signing up.

5. Is this event LGBTQ+ friendly?

This event is specifically designed for heterosexual participants. We appreciate your understanding.

6. What role do algorithms play in speed dating?

For Palls, our speed dating algorithm collects participants’ details like age, location, interests, and relationship goals, then filters out mismatches and scores compatibility based on shared traits. It also considers user preferences and past event interactions (if applicable) to refine matches, ensuring a more efficient and enjoyable matchmaking process.

7. What makes Palls speed dating better than dating apps?

Palls offers a smarter, more personalized speed dating experience by matching you only with the most compatible people, ensuring quality interactions and a higher chance of genuine connections.

8. What happens if I meet someone I already know?

If you meet someone you already know (e.g., an ex, co-worker, or friend), we recommend using the opportunity to catch up in a lighthearted way. If you’re not interested in being matched with them, simply mark them as a “No” on your match card.

9. Can I attend if I’m shy or introverted?

Absolutely! Speed dating is designed for all personality types, and the structured format makes it easier for introverts since you don’t have to approach people on your own.

10. What if I feel uncomfortable with someone during the event?

Your comfort and safety are our top priorities. If you feel uncomfortable at any time, discreetly notify a staff member, and they will handle the situation. Any inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated.
Sign-Up & Payment Details

11. How do I sign up for a speed dating event?
