FAQ:

Q: How does the matching technology work?

A: Our matching system was developed by Dr. Frankie after nearly 20 years of LGBTQ+ matchmaking experience. Before the event, you share your preferences on age range and where your ideal date falls on the masculine-to-feminine spectrum. Our system then prioritizes speed dates with people who align with those preferences, creating a more intentional experience than traditional speed dating. While the technology improves compatibility, it does not guarantee every match will be your ideal type.

Q: Who is this event for?
A: Our Lesbian, Bi, Trans, and Queer Speed Dating events are designed for lesbian, bisexual, nonbinary, and genderqueer folks who want to connect, flirt, and see where things go. This event is not for gay/cis men. Looking for our GBTQ+ events? Click here.

These events are proudly trans-welcoming. Kindness is required, respect is non-negotiable, and intolerance of any kind is a no-go. We ask everyone to honor names, pronouns, and identities so all attendees can feel comfortable being themselves. Anyone unable to do so may be asked to leave.

This is a 21+ event, with adults of all ages encouraged to join. Come with an open mind, a good attitude, and maybe a little spark. We’ll handle the rest.

Q: What happens during the speed dating event?

A: You will have up to ten one-on-one conversations that last five minutes. After each date, you privately note whether you would like to connect again. The system then identifies mutual matches after the event.

Q: What should I do after the event ends?

A: We encourage you to stay after the event, mingle, and support the venue. It's a chance for great conversations, new friendships, and connections that go beyond the event. Your continued presence can make the experience even more memorable, and some of the best conversations happen after the structured portion of the event ends.

Q: How can I connect with my matches after the event?

A: After the event, you'll receive the contact information for your matches, allowing you to take those promising connections to the next level.

Q: Can I come alone?

A: Yes. Most people attend solo. Speed dating is designed to make meeting new people easy, even if you arrive on your own.

Q: What if I am shy or new to dating events?

A: That is very common. The structured format helps take the pressure off because everyone is there for the same reason, and the short conversations make it easier to break the ice. There is also a friendly host who guides the event and makes sure everyone feels comfortable and welcome from the moment they arrive. If you are new or a little nervous, you will be in good company. Many guests are trying speed dating for the first time.

Q: Where can I find more Lesbian, Bi, Trans, Queer+ speed dating events?
