PRE-DATING FAQ's

CAN I COME ALONE?
Absolutely, you can come by yourself! In fact, that’s how many attendees choose to join. If you’re feeling a bit anxious, rest assured that you’re not alone in that feeling, and it typically fades as the event progresses.

HOW LONG WILL THE DATES BE?
Each speed round will run for approximately 5 to 6 minutes. One group will remain in place while the other group moves around to different numbered tables. You’ll receive guidance throughout the event.

WILL MY PERSONAL INFORMATION BE GIVEN OUT TO EVERYONE?
Definitely not. It’s important to maintain the essence of speed dating, so no one should request personal information from others during the event. Once the event concludes, all matches will be notified through email.

WHAT’S YOUR REFUND POLICY?
Refunds are not available for cancellations made before the event. However, if you can’t attend, you can opt for credit towards a future event. Should you find yourself unable to join any of our events, please reach out to us, and we’ll be happy to help you reschedule for a different one.

WHAT IF I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO TALK ABOUT? You’ll find a selection of Question Prompts and Icebreakers on the table to kick off your date.

WHAT TYPE OF PEOPLE CAN I EXPECT TO MEET?

DO YOU SCREEN YOUR SPEED DATERS?
In recent months, we’ve had the joy of assisting daters, and we’ve observed an interesting trend: the kinder a dater is to us, our hosts, and one another, the more successful their matches tend to be. Similar to an exclusive club, not every dater aligns with our community. We seek individuals who appreciate the positive in everything and everyone, as they are exactly what we and our daters desire. If we feel that a dater may not resonate well with others, we will politely decline to provide our services, and we reserve the right to make that decision.

HOW DO I GET INVITED TO COMPLEMENTARY EVENTS?
Strive to be as charming and wonderful as possible. We don’t focus on appearances or your dating outcomes; rather, we pay attention to how you engage with our team, hosts, and other participants. When daters shine by being their authentic selves and embody what others desire in a partner, they unlock a world of fun and excitement! They can look forward to free events and matchmaking chances without any extra fees. This is where charm meets opportunity – The Link Up Style!

HOW DO I GET BANNED?
At our events, we understand that dating is an emotional experience, but we have a strict zero-tolerance policy for any behavior that disrupts or upsets fellow participants, our hosts, or our staff. Respect and kindness are at the core of what we value, and we take any feedback from our daters seriously.

While it’s natural for people to have different preferences, goals, and ideas about what they’re looking for in a partner, one thing is universal: everyone deserves to be treated with respect and kindness. We expect all attendees to uphold this standard, and we believe you should too. Let’s keep the experience enjoyable for everyone—because nice and lovely should be the minimum.

ARE YOU AFFILIATED WITH ANY ‘Meet-Up’ GROUPS?
We believe that ‘Meet-Up’ is a wonderful free platform that allows people with shared interests to come together. While we do have a Meet-Up account, we are not associated with any other groups.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE EVENT IS SOLD OUT?
We truly wish we could welcome everyone! Sadly, the excitement fills up fast! For details on how to join the waitlist, feel free to reach out to info@linkupnetwork.site. Additionally, it’s wise to frequently check our website, as last-minute openings can pop up. We’re always updating our event calendar!

WHAT TIME SHOULD I SHOW UP FOR THE EVENT?
Event start times are listed in the event description. We encourage everyone to prioritize safety while making their way to the event. Although we recommend arriving 15 minutes early, we allow a 30-minute window for all participants to get there. While this might delay the start, it provides a great chance to mingle with the hosts, enjoy some refreshments, and get comfortable. The speed dating segment kicks off at 5:30 PM, and we prefer to wait for all daters to arrive, settle in, and grab a drink before diving into the activities.

WHAT IS A LINK UP ‘DATE BUDDY’?
A “Date Buddy” indicates that you’ve found a match! Both of you have identified each other in the Top 5 of your scorecard. Your registered email address will be shared with this person 24 hours after the event. You can have more than five interests or fewer than five, but it’s important that the information remains clear and straightforward. Only those who have matches will receive notifications approximately 24 hours post-event. If you’d like to be informed even if you don’t have matches or if you have any questions after the event, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at info@linkupnetwork.site. We’re available around the clock.

HOW LONG WILL I CHAT WITH MY PROSPECTIVE ‘DATE BUDDY’?
Engage in conversation with your potential ‘Date-Buddy’ for about 6 to 7 minutes each. During our bigger events, we might trim this down by a minute or two to ensure everyone gets a chance for their mini-dates within the scheduled time.

SO LITTLE TIME; SO MUCH TO SAY.
No need to stress! In our fast-paced world, it often takes just a few minutes to sense a connection with someone. Feel free to continue your conversation with your potential ‘Date-Buddy’ during intermission or socialize after the event. Just enjoy yourself and let things flow!

HOW CAN I FIND OUT IF I HAVE ANY LINK UP NETWORK CONNECTIONS BEFORE ‘DATE BUDDY,’ AND WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO REACH OUT TO MY LINK UP NETWORK CONNECTIONS FROM THAT TIME?
For those who receive matches, you can expect an email within 24 hours after the event concludes, providing you with your ‘Date-Buddy’s’ first name and email address. Likewise, your ‘Date-Buddy’ will be informed of your name and email as well.

CAN I RETURN FOR FREE IF I DON’T GET A MATCH AT AN EVENT?
We stand out from other speed dating companies by not just offering discounted spots to those who don’t find matches. Instead, we focus on welcoming back our wonderful guests. Those who are charming and delightful often receive special discounts or complimentary invitations to return. This strategy helps create an exciting and appealing group of daters that everyone wants to connect with.

IS FOOD INCLUDED WITH MY LINKUPNETWORK DATING TICKET PRICE?
Occasionally, venues might offer light snacks for their guests, but this is entirely up to the venue’s choice.

HOW LONG DOES A LINKUPNETWORK DATING EVENT LAST?
The duration of an event is determined by the number of participants present. Typically, our gatherings run for approximately 2 hours, which includes a break.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE EVENT IS OVER?
It’s all in your hands! Many daters agree that this is when the excitement truly begins! The event wraps up by 7:30 PM, with doors closing at 8:00 PM. We can suggest some great spots to continue the fun afterward, along with some coupon codes and additional perks.

HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL I MEET?
LINKUPNETWORK DATING events come in various sizes, with anywhere from 16 to 30 singles signing up for each occasion.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO MAKE A PAYMENT WITHOUT USING THE INTERNET?
Payments are exclusively accepted through our website. We utilize secure and encrypted checkout systems for all transactions. If you have any inquiries, don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly at 1-443-831-1425.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
A fantastic dinner outfit can make all the difference. When you meet someone for the first time, that initial impression is crucial. You want to ensure you’re remembered positively. Still, it’s important to dress in a way that reflects how you feel. Avoid outfits that are too revealing or expose too much skin.

CAN I STILL ATTEND IF I’M OUTSIDE YOUR SPECIFIED AGE RANGES?
Of course you may. Our age ranges are merely suggestions. We offer many age range categories. Please feel free to select the age range most comfortable for you. If you don’t see a range suitable for you please check back or let us know.

WILL I BE PHOTOGRAPHED OR FILMED?
You will never be photographed or recorded without your explicit permission. Although we and our daters frequently participate in special filmed occasions, these events are organized as private gatherings and are strictly by invitation only.

WHAT IF I LACK THE SKILLS TO BEHAVE LIKE A PROPER LADY OR GENTLEMAN?
It’s truly unfortunate to hear that. We maintain a strict policy against any form of rudeness. While we attract wonderful daters, it’s a reality that not every individual meets our standards. Our daters represent our brand, and we work diligently to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to connect with fantastic people. We prioritize quality over quantity when it comes to our daters. Any behavior that falls short of our expectations may lead to a ban from our platform. While this might disappoint some, we believe that the majority of our daters value the commitment we have to maintaining a positive environment, and we hope you feel the same way.
