Long Island Speed Dating.com was launched in February 2003 to give busy Long Island singles a great new way to meet. We all know how difficult it could be to meet people nowadays. Many of us are sick of the whole bar and club scene. That's why Speed Dating has become so popular. It gives you the chance to meet a lot of people in a short period time in a public location. The problem was that the majority of the Speed Dating events were either in Manhattan, or held during the week when most of us have work the next morning. Well that problem has now been solved. We know you work hard all week so our events are always held on Friday, Saturday, or Sundays. Events usually start around 7:00 PM and are over by about 9:30. This way the night is still early so you have the rest of the evening to enjoy. Most of our venues such as Club 56 in Farmingdale, or Lily Flanagan's in Rockville Centre have a DJ and Dancing after the event so many participants stay and make a night of it.

Here is how it works:

Events are planned by age categories, Men (25-35) and Women (21-35); Men (30-43) and Women (28-40); Men (35-46) and Women ages (30-45); Men (40-53) and Women (38-50). Unlike most other companies, we do check ID to make sure people are registered for the correct age category. This is done to ensure that we deliver what we advertise.

You will arrive about a half hour prior to the planned event so you have time to settle in and get a feel for the location. Everyone receives a scorecard, nametage, and then your ready to meet up to 20 potential mates in a series of 4 minute dates. After each of your dates you will discretely circle on the score card whether you would be interested in meeting with that person again. At the end of the night you will hand in your scorecard for us to tally. If two people both said yes, then that's a MATCH and in the next day or so you will each receive the other persons email address. There is no limit to the number of matches you can have. From there it's up to you! We have also teamed with MatchedUP.com to offer online personal ads and other exciting single events.
