Sparks Fly: Speed Dating & Comedy Extravaganza at The Flop House, NYC

Speed dating is a social event where individuals meet potential romantic partners in a structured and time-limited format. Participants rotate through a series of short, one-on-one conversations with different people, typically lasting a few minutes each.

During a speed dating event, participants sit across from each other at tables, and conversations begin when a bell rings or a timer starts. You have a limited time, usually around 3-5 minutes, to chat and get to know the person in front of you. When the time is up, you switch to the next person.

You should come with an open mind and a positive attitude. Dress in a way that makes you feel confident, but also be yourself. Bring a list of questions or conversation starters in case you run out of things to say, but try to keep the conversation light and fun.

To ease your nerves, consider arriving early to get comfortable with the environment, and try to focus on enjoying the experience rather than worrying about the outcome. The more you practice, the more confident you'll become in these social situations.
