What to expect

What to expect at your event

Arrival

Arrive early to get checked in! Check-in starts fifteen minutes prior to the scheduled time. The event begins promptly. Please be on time, you may not be able to participate once the event has begun and no refunds will be issued.
‍
You will be greeted by our host(s) who will be there to guide you through the evening & answer any questions.

Materials

You will receive a clipboard with a name tag, Match Card (to keep track of the people you will meet) and ice-breaker conversation starters (in case you need a little help).

Seating

Half of the participants will remain seated throughout the evening and the other half will rotate from table to table after each round.

The Dates
  • A timer will begin and you will have 6 minute long conversations with each participant. We encourage you to take notes on your Match Card during your date to help you remember each person (e.g. loves dogs, elementary school teacher).
  • A bell will signify the end of the 6 minute “date”.
  • You will have a brief moment between rounds to privately mark “Yes” or “No” on your Match Cards for each person you spoke with, indicating who you would like to see again.
  • You can expect anywhere from 5-10 conversations at each event.
The Results
  • You will submit your Match Card to your host at the end of the event. We recommend you take a picture of your Match Card before you turn it in to your host.
    ‍
  • If 2 people mutually check “Yes” for each other-it’s a match! Your host will send you your matches' contact information via text within 24 hours so that you can set up a real date! Both participants will receive each others contact information.

Frequently Asked Question

Do you provide food and drinks?

Drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) will be available to be purchased at the venue before and during the event. Food will be available for purchase (venue permitting) if you are looking to dine-in after the event.

What should I wear?

First impressions really do mean a lot. Dress like this is a first date because….it is! Be comfortable, but think a bit more elevated.  Men: khakis, nicer jeans, button down shirts. Ladies: cute tops, pants, skirts, dresses.

I’m not in the recommended age range, can I still attend?

We want participants to be comfortable with the age group they're "dating." A couple (2-3) years over or under is fine, but please choose a Star City Singles event that generally fits your age range.

I’m having a conversation with someone who isn’t "my type”, what do I do?

This one is easy! You have a 6 minute conversation, learn some fun facts about this stranger who, like you was brave enough to come out and try something new! Discreetly mark “No” on your Match Card and move on to the next participant at the next round.

How do I know who picked me?

If 2 people mutually check “Yes” for each other-it’s a match! Your host will send you your matches' contact information via text within 24 hours so that you can set up a real date! Both participants will receive each others contact information. Every participant is texted after the event even if they did not match.
